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]
