For the first time in over 40 years, Coca-Cola is bringing back a cane
sugar–sweetened version of its iconic soda to the U.S. this fall. The
move marks a nostalgic shift for the beverage giant, which famously
replaced real sugar with high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) in the early
1980s due to rising costs. Now, amid growing consumer demand for
simpler, more natural ingredients, Coke’s return to cane sugar taps into
both retro appeal and modern wellness trends.
