I may be delusional, but... When I was a kid, I swear Coka-Cola actually 
*tasted* of something. And the cheap no-name colas didn't taste anywhere 
near as good as actual brand-name Coka-Cola. But now even the brand-name 
stuff has little actual flavour; it's just sweet and tangy. And the 
no-name stuff tastes more or less indistinguishable from the real-brand 
stuff.

Or, then again, maybe I'm just delusional...
