Oh, AC, how you've lost loyalty in 2026. Change the elite program, gut the partner earnings, even reduce upgrade/R space. But take away Coke products?

So it's basically this:
Clark: Remember how I was toying with the idea of suspending the Christmas bonuses?
Mrs. Shirley: You didn't! Well, of all the cheap, lousy ways to save a buck!
SWAT Commander: That's pretty low, mister. If I had a rubber hose, I would beat you to—

I can tell which one is which, and I have a very strong preference.
I can pick out Coke Zero from anything else in blind taste tests, and with high probability say how fresh or close to expiration it is. Alap if it was fountain, a freestyle fountain, or from a can/plastic/glass bottle.

Same with Coca Cola with high fructose corn syrup vs Kosher Coca Cola for passover (in season for another week--hurry, I've hit up Jewish grocery stores in 2 states already)
