Coke fans in Massachusetts will have more options this fall.

Do you remember your first sip of Coca-Cola? Man, was it great - then your stomach would hurt from the amount of sugar in just one 12 ounce can.

President Trump recently made a statement saying that Coca-Cola is removing the high fructose corn syrup from its existing Coke products. Coca-Cola was flattered by the announcement, but was unaware of any plans to change back to cane sugar.
