In coke, which is acidic, sucrose breaks down into glucose and fructose anyway in the bottle before you drink it.
Cane sugar has equal amounts of glucose and fructose though. High fructose corn syrup has more fructose than glucose which alters the taste.
It's really close though. 45/55 for the type of hfcs used in soft drinks vs 50/50 for sugar. Not sure that's enough to throw off taste. Maybe marginally less sweet since fructose is sweeter.
I can taste the difference. I like the HFCS better.
