If Mexican Coke is a myth, what the hell have I been snorting?
Mexican coke taste more delicious I don't care what anyone says. There's a shop around the corner from my apartment and they have it and it tastes different and better. Different ingredients, different taste -- even if chemically the compounds are similar.
I don't taste any difference between the American and Mexican ones. I do taste differences depending on the bottle, though. Plastic ones are the worst. Aluminum cans are better. Glass is the best, though.
Mexican coke that is reimported from Mexico does contain sugar. But there are several bottling plants near the border making "Mexico-looking coke" that is in fact, not Mexican.
I drink a coke once a year, when it is also Kosher for Passover, which MUST be sugar.
There is a difference. Trust.
I thought everyone knew this. In all of Central America coke and every other soda is made with real sugar.
Glass bottle. Cane sugar, not corn syrup. No myth.
Wait - i thought the difference was they used real sugar instead of HFCS? And that's why it tasted better? I think this is true because when I buy "cane cola" from other brands, like WF or Boylan's I can taste a difference.
I used to live in Queretaro, Mexico, and I've drank plenty of Mexican Coke and plenty of American Coke. I still think there is a definite taste difference, but I never really thought it was the sugar vs. HCFS thing anyway. I think it's the water that's used to bottle it. I only like the Coke bottled in Queretaro, the Coke bottled in Monterey doesn't taste as good. I'd like to see a study on that! :) (You can tell where it was bottled on the bottle cap, it'll say Monterey NL or Queretaro, Mexico) All of the Coke I've seen in the US is imported from Monterey.
