美国总统就是为所欲为。 美国总统特朗普素以反复无常与不可预测著称。但这一次，他的强势施压却收获了一片叫好。甚至有诸 多网友评论，这是他们第一回给特朗普叫好，这位争议不断的总统总算干了一件正经事。当然，也有网 友指出，总统显然在转移舆论视线，以逃避最近的性侵大亨"爱泼斯坦客户名单"事件。 昨天特朗普突然宣布，在他的要求下，可口可乐已经同意在美国重新使用蔗糖作为经典可乐的甜味剂。 这消息来得太过突然，以至于频繁爆料政治消息的媒体甚至没有得到半点风声。 "我一直在与可口可乐讨论在美国使用真正的蔗糖生产可乐，他们已经同意这样做，"特朗普在其Truth Social平台上发文称。"我要感谢可口可乐管理层的所有负责人。这将是他们的一个非常好的举措——你 们会看到的。蔗糖就是更好！" 这话一出，美国社交网络沸腾了。难道可口可乐真的要改回蔗糖了吗？可口可乐的原始配方可追溯至 19 世纪，一直是使用蔗糖，但从上世纪七十年代末开始，可口可乐美国开始转用玉米糖浆，并在八十 年代完全放弃蔗糖。 两个老年可乐死忠 众所周知，特朗普和巴菲特是可口可乐的超白金用户。虽然可口可乐并没有给他们广告费，但是两位政 商领袖从来都是拿着可乐在万众瞩 ...
