1984 was when Coca-Cola made the switch to no sugar cane and all high fructose corn syrup. However this formula varies in different areas of the world. Ex: In the Caribbean they use sugar cane as an ingredient due to the availability and cheapness of it. It is also hypothesized that the switch in America in 1984 helped raise the number of cased of Diabetes.

1985, when the "original" formula called Coca Cola Classic returned after the failure of New Coke. Sugar prices are regulated by the government in the US, so it is cheaper to produce with HFCS than with sugar. You can still get soda outside the US and sometimes in the US that is made with real sugar. I definitely notice the difference.

"These sweeteners [high fructose corn syrup] came of age during the 1970s when the food industry began to look for alternatives to traditional cane sugar and beet sugar that would provide similar sweetness, taste, and quality, but at a more economical cost."
