Coke doesn't use real sugar to make coca cola classic?


um, no. This is America where we have corn subsidies that make corn-based products cheap. This brought on the switch from sugar in the 80's.

Real sugar in cokes reminds me of the good ol' days. A much smoother and cleaner taste.

I used to get Passover coke but I don't know what happened to them..

It's no coincidence Diabeetus and obesity rates increased with the switch to high fructose corn syrup became the sweetner to use.

And despite this being common knowledge, and why Whole Foods thrives and the holistic movement gaining steam. PAC money, Archer Daniel Midland,etc..keep the politicians whores and Americans slaves to corn syrup.

Meanwhile a real cane sugar Coke,etc..can be had outside US borders, just as can the same American company pharmaceuticals in third world countries and for cheap. We're the only country in the world that cannibalizes their own domestically for a buck, to these such degrees. Or shoves the crappiest version made of that famous product upon their own people..bizarre.

Mexican Coke by the case is at Sams for around $20, but is much sweeter and slightly less carbonized than American Coke Classic, and grow flat quickly over ice.

Coke Classic can be found in major metros at Holiday season and Jewish holidays as Kosher Coke, it comes with a yellow cap on top.

Jones Soda Cola, which was formerly at Sams and Walmart in 12 packs of bottles, but is only made nine months per year, thus probably couldn't keep up with Walmart's supply demands, and dropped? It tastes more like Coke Classic than does Mexican Coke, due to it's greater carbonization(that acidic bite!)..they are available in 8 packs canned for around $3.00 at Winn Dixie.

I haven't noticed a problem with it going flat.

Also, at Sam's,are the Mexican cokes with the regular cokes?

Are these la tienditas getting stuff from SAMs and reselling?


No, most of the local Latin grocery stores buy all their stuff from distributors like Diaz Foods.
