Domino, Florida Crystals, California and Hawaiian Sugar company, all that is the Fanjul boys. (ASR is one of their companies).

They own 190,000 acres of cane land mostly in western Palm Beach County Florida.

Another 240,000 acres in Dominican Republic and run that operation as if slavery never ended

Sugar isn’t any better for you than HFCS.

Make a thread.
I’m interested.
Sure seems like the Mexican Cokes are better…

This is the relevant equation and I am more than happy to discuss the O-chem and the actual reaons why Mexican Coke tastes different from US Coke.

I always thought the glass bottles psychologically primed people to think it's better. And perhaps the bottle itself does make a difference. Is there anything there or am I imagining things? I've seen some in glass bottles that use hfcs

I agree with you. Glass tastes better than anything in plastic in my opinion.

It’s cheaper. That’s the answer. There’s no other reason.
