Then so is cane sugar. They're just not that different from a metabolic and health angle.

It can be done. Coca Cola already manufactures sugar cane-based cola syrup for Jewish Passover every year. Coke made with corn syrup is not Kosher. Coke made with cane sugar is Kosher.

So, Coca Cola can indeed make the switch. I think it would sell well. Pepsi already has a "pure cane sugar" variation of Pepsi that sells well.

Also, hopefully helps Louisiana’s sugar cane industry.


Right. Cause lord knows the Louisiana sugar cane industry isn't being helped enough alrewdy

Let's get something straight.... the Louisiana sugar industry should not freaking exist. Nor should any sugar growing entity in the US.

Switching 'back' to cane sugar, would be what they're doing1

I know it can be done, but coke is like a drug to people. You don't switch it up when you're dominating in market share.

Not to be offensive but Louisiana cane farmers, including those in new Iberia, can f##k right off. Their entire business should not exist.

It's not a formula change, and most people would probably never notice. It didn't hurt them when they initially switched from sugar to HFCS, so I don't see why switching back would.

If given a choice, I may have picked this over the Epstein files…LOL

As a coke drinker, this would be great! Give me that real sugar!

A lot of people around here shite on subsidies unless you start talking about catfish, shrimp, etc, then they want the government to step in with protections.

Not to many Mexican Coke drinkers in here. It is a lot better tasting.

This will possibly flip some corn production in Louisiana back to sugar cane

You mean you don't think they could go back to the formula they used before they switched the recipe to use to high fructose corn syrup?
