In Reply to: We love Coca Cola here posted by LWR on December 13, 2014 at 09:41:05:
Barq's was a family product from Biloxi MS, based on a proprietary recipe that used cane sugar. The company was moved to New Orleans before being sold to Coca Cola, which immediately switched to corn syrup as the sweetener.
The Barq family lamented the change to their former product, saying that it changed the flavor for the worse. When the company was sold, the Barq's kept the recipe rights, and the right to ensure that Coke stuck to it as long as the Barq name was on it. That itself might also have been in the deal. But sourcing the ingredients seems to be in Coke's domain.
