That depends on how original you mean. The recipe evolved over the
years. One reason for the switch from Old Coke to New Coke was
supposedly to switch from cane sugar to HFCS because of the price
difference in the US. I think Coke Classic was close to the previous
recipe except with HFCS.

I taste the vanilla very clearly in RC and Diet Rite. They must use a
lot more vanilla than either Coke or Pepsi. Less than Vanilla Coke but
a lot more than regular.
