and cannot abide by Pepsi. American Coke sucks tho', we get Mexican Coke at a Mexican market, or you can get twenty four 12 oz bottles on Amazon for 46.50.
Wiki Sez:
In the United States of America, Mexican Coke (Spanish: Coca Cola de México) or, informally, "MexiCoke",[1] refers to Coca-Cola produced in and imported from Mexico.[2]Although intended for consumption in Mexico, Mexican Coke has become popular in the United States because of a flavor that fans call "a lot more natural tasting".[2] While many believe the primary difference in flavor between Mexican Coke and the American Coca Cola recipe is that Mexican Coke is sweetened using cane sugar as opposed to high-fructose corn syrup, a scientific analysis of Mexican Coke found no sucrose (standard sugar) in its sample of Mexican Coke, but instead found fructose and glucose at similar levels (5.4 and 5.0 respectively).[3] This indicates that sucrose was added originally and then broke down into fructose and glucose. Coca-Cola claims that Mexican Coke exported to the United States is made with cane sugar, while some bottlers may use high-fructose corn syrup for drinks intended for sale in Mexico.[4]

Barq's was a family product from Biloxi MS, based on a proprietary recipe that used cane sugar. The company was moved to New Orleans before being sold to Coca Cola, which immediately switched to corn syrup as the sweetener.
The Barq family lamented the change to their former product, saying that it changed the flavor for the worse. When the company was sold, the Barq's kept the recipe rights, and the right to ensure that Coke stuck to it as long as the Barq name was on it. That itself might also have been in the deal. But sourcing the ingredients seems to be in Coke's domain.
I removed HFCS from my diet, (it is even in bread and ketchup if you look) and I lost 15 pounds.
of course it was because I divorced my very first wife whom I married in error!
