I found your Mexican Coca-Cola evaluation quite insightful. I find a similar "real sugar" effect with other sodas. Surprisingly, the smell of HFCS soda seems OK, but when I taste them, there's a letdown. It's as though you have a bouquet of flowers, and in the case of HFCS, someone has stepped on it (leaving only a vague average of flavors).
Maybe it would take a sensory physiologist to uncover what's going on, but it appears the odor is the same, but the signals from the tongue in the HFCS case are interfering somehow. Sigh.
BTW, I passed by the Ithaca Shopping Plaza yesterday, and noticed a small, new, permit on the window where the construction is happening. It lists the owner as "Five Guys Burg. & Fries". QED? ;-)

Here's a new Cornell Dining collaboration that sounds as though it could be interesting:
Moosewood at Anabel Taylor. Has anyone tried it yet?

Another strong association between a show and a food/beverage - Tea, Earl Grey, Hot.
