    Is any one else drink this stuff, its Coca-Cola from Mexico. I know it seems to go against everything you know about products made in Mexico, but the difference is they use sugar to make their coke instead of high fructose corn syrup. It tastes much cleaner and doesn't leave that film in your mouth that regular coke does. It has ruined me on domestic coke, which is probably good for health reasons seeing as I am addicted to coke.

    The Kroger near my house in Sandy Springs carries it in the Mexican food section, next to all those orange, and fruity drinks, I think some mexican super markets carry it too.

    Also consider 360 at Whole Foods. Another soda made from cane sugar. Not to say this is healthy, but will just kill you slower. ;)
     
  8. Coke from just about everywhere else uses real sugar, but in the US they still damn use HFCS..... I was flying back from London last year and the airline gave me a "European" Coke and an "American" Coke, and back to back our Coke just plain tastes like crap..... I didn't know Mexican Coke used sugar too, I'm off to find some!

    There's a reason its called Coca-Cola. It was once produced with that particular ingredient.
    IIRC the catch phrase was "It'll put pep in your setp!" or one of them anyway.

    The things discovery channel teaches.

    I think the Coca-Cola Corp. should make a Premium version of Coke made with sugar, other companies make premium products, organic, low fat. There is obviously a market for it.

    I wish Coca Cola made the Fantas here that they make in Spain too. Over there, you can get Orange Fanta and it actually has juice in it and tastes incredible. It is similar to Orangina, but I liked the Fanta better. Also, Lemon Fanta is awesome. It is quite tart and I haven't found anything similar to it here in the States. They also had Apple Fanta that was awesome too.

    I'm with you too. Everytime I go overseas I have to bring back a case of Fanta Limon for my mom.

    Agreed! When I was over there I drank a decent bit of Fanta, so when I came back one of the first things I wanted again was an orange Fanta. I just about threw up when I tasted the ones they sell to us! Ugh.

    Orangina FTW! I love to mix that one with Absolut Mandarin and a dash of Red Bull. :bowdown:

    Most Coca Cola out of the US is made with Cane Sugar. Since our country overproduces the hell out of corn all of our shit gets nasty high fructose corn syrup.

    I buy it from Kroger when they have it. It's usually in the hispanic aisle with all the GOYA drinks

    The Jason's deli in Norcross had Dr. Pepper made from cane sugar for a while. It was called Dublin Dr. Pepper and it tasted so good. I would go there for lunch just for that, but the last time I went they had a sign up that said they had to stop carrying it for "Contractional" reasons.
