Coke with real sugar? How come nobody tells me these things?

[backscatter712]

Maybe this is one of the perks of living in an area with a decent number of Latinos.

But when I was at the grocery store, I saw, in the Mexican foods aisle, a few glass bottles of Coca-Cola.

Something clicked in my head because I wasn't in the pop aisle, and I looked at the bottles of Coke closely.

Bottled in Mexico, and the ingredients include real sugar, not high-fructose corn syrup. SCORE!!!

I didn't think you could get Coke with real sugar here in the states. I made sure to snag a few bottles today.

1. You can also get it during Passover

Corn isn't Kosher, or something like that. I stock up bigtime then. :D

I've only ever had it otherwise in Europe. Sooooo good. :9

8. Nothing like a real Coke.

I have several bottles of Mexican coke, cheaper to buy that way.

I also have real Dr. Pepper with sugar, yes.

I wouldn't touch anything with high fructose.

Enjoy the real thing.

19. Living in Austin, I can get Mexican Coke and Dublin Dr. Pepper any time I want.

12. It's really yummy.

The Mexican Coke is what Coke used to taste like.

The difference is really apparent, but if you want to taste how dramatic the difference is do a side by side taste test.
