They come in box sets too?

The logo's okay.

Sugar based Coke >>>>>> Cherry Coke > Coke > Pepsi >>>>>>> Dr. Pepper.

(Just kidding about the Dr. Pepper ranking). ;)

Looks like the earlier logos were blatant Coca-Cola ripoffs.

Pepsi has a lot more leeway to reinvent their logo than Coke does.

The new design is kinda weak. Only has freshness going for it.

The Coca-Cola logo is almost perfect. What holds it back is the 'classic' written between the name and the swoosh. I really like how over the years it alternates between the standard and some embellishments for the era.

That's the first thing I thought of.

The can looks pretty good, but the logo looks goofy. Should have used the old logo with the new can design.

Coke FTW. Although, I do like Pepsi out of the fountain at Taco Bell. Not sure why.

Where can I find this sugar based Coke?

I agree with the ranking of Cherry Coke. The best widely available stuff out there. Some of the premium root beers are at the top of my list for sodas, however.

New logo is okay, but they must be hurting for sales if they needed such a drastic change, specially for the can and not just the logo.

I love Mountain Dew, but Coca Cola blows away Pepsi in terms of cola products. But I do like Vault and the red-flavor Vault too, sometimes I feel like Vault, sometimes I feel like Mountain Dew. Main difference is just the amount of carbonation - MD has very low carbonation and tastes sweeter in comparison to Vault, which has a lot of carbonation and doesn't taste as syrupy, though still sweet.
To be noted though, I NEVER feel like drinking a Pepsi, and never buy it either. I'm hardcore for Coke, and yes... I guarantee in a blind taste test, I will distinctly identify Pepsi as the flavor I do not like, as I can taste a noticeable difference.

And Coke made with sugar, while definitely better, is not worth of cost. Now when they start selling Kosher 2-liters with sugar (if they sell them around here), then I will buy them up because I think they are the same cost or similar. But when it's like 1.75/12oz bottle, hell no.

The blue cans were decent and looked like a very clean logo, just didn't care for the mostly white ones at all.

Pepsi > coke except maybe cherry coke.
