Mexican Coke may shift away from real sugar - Mexi-Liberals to blame

Thanks to a new tax on soda aimed at reducing obesity.

Mexico’s new soft drink tax could push the nation’s Coca-Cola makers away from the cane sugar that’s made “Mexicoke” a cult hit in the US.
Executives from the second-largest bottler of Coca-Cola in Latin America suggested that a shift away from cane sugar might be in the cards as a result of the steep sales tax on soda Mexico’s congress approved on Thursday (Oct. 31). American Coke enthusiasts claim the Mexican version tastes better than what they get in the US, which some say is because Mexican Coca-Cola is made with cane sugar rather than high-fructose corn syrup.

I agree. I think the difference is most notable after drinking real sugar exclusively for a while and then trying a HFC Coke. The finish is much better. HFC leaves a cloyingly sweet taste and syrup feel to your mouth. I drink very few sodas, but I try to make them good ones when I do.

FIFY
So all they will do is create a boom in homemade sugary drinks and cause the relative cost of beer to go down.

Watch them change it then all of a sudden they wonder why their sales have hit rock bottom as we all shift to Colombian coke.
