Coca Cola is Sneaky

In the early 1980s, Coca-Cola deliberately removed "Coke Classic" (made with cane sugar) from production and introduced "New Coke" (a.k.a. "Coke II") as a ruse, knowing full well that people would complain that it "wasn't the same as before," so they staged an apology commercial from Coke's CEO saying "we're sorry; we hear you" (when has a CEO ever said that??? LOL), and re-introduced "Coke Classic" with corn syrup instead of cane sugar, knowing that by the time it was re-released, the market's inventory of the original "Coke Classic" had largely been distributed and consumed, so very few people (if any) could actually compare them side-by-side to see if they tasted the same.

BTW, the tariffs on cane sugar were increased ginormously just before they did this, which was a way to encourage domestic corn production.
