Why do Americans talk about how good Mexican Coke is? Is Mexico’s Coke different to everyone else’s?
In: Chemistry
It WAS made with better sugar, but no longer seems to be the case. This video explains it well https://youtu.be/PJgQEpFMptQ?si=06aGJdhbmGF_jive
Coke changes the flavor based on where you live. Sweeter in the south is the best example.
Like others have said Mexican Coke has real sugar and a slightly different taste that seems to make everyone like it more than their own version of coke
I have started to enjoy Pepsi with cane sugar, rather than regular Pepsi and it’s notably better. My GF called it Mexican Pepsi, so I think it’s called Mexican because of our proximity. However I noticed that the EU and other countries have restrictions on the use of corn syrup and other food additives that are bad for you.
Cane sugar pepsie and cane sugar coke are way way better than the high fructose versions. If i still drank soda i would only drink the cane sugar versions in glass bottles, high fructose corn syrup is not good for you.
Real cane sugar in Mexican Coke – just like it was sold up until the 80’s in the US.
Now it’s a witches Brew of nasty in America.
Mexico is closer to Columbia, so the product isn’t mixed with as many extra additives as it is in the US. :/S
All Coca Cola in Finland is made with real sugar too. Well, most sodas really. I don’t think the difference is that huge.
If you ask an american they’re going to answer “because of the cane sugar and the glass bottle”, but as an outsider the US fetishizing of various forms of candy, fast-food, sodas etc will always end in disappointment.
The hype is never justified and it’s always just people drinking the kool-aid. Because they want to believe in the latest exclusive/improved/better way of buying satisfaction and achieving happiness through consumerism.
Mexican Coke is Coke imported to the US that uses cane sugar, rather than the high fructose corn syrup used in America. Many people, including myself, think it tastes way better than American Coke.
Fun fact: if you buy Coke in Mexico, it actually has corn syrup. They only use cane sugar for Coke imported to the US and Canada.
Well with the cartels running the country they can make it a lot cheaper and better than we can in the U.S. and with their well established distribution chain it’s probably even cheaper than the U.S.’s. what do you mean “not that coke”?
