the whole problem was idiots not reading the label and thinking it was diet, not different tasting. anybody claiming it tasted different was trying to make it look bad, or thought they were drinking diet...
Disoriented customers complained that the white can with silver polar bears looked too much like the silver Diet Coke can. Others insisted that the white cans tainted the taste of Coke, or called execs "blasphemers" for ditching the classic red.
The quick blurb I read only focused on the taste difference.
The 3rd reason for halting the production of the holiday can in this quote... as I posted : Coke loyalists are completely insane.

I haven't liked Coke as much (as I did when I was a kid) since they switched to New Coke back in the 80's, and then switched back to Coke Classic. It never did taste the same as before the switches.
