    Mexican coke has cane sugar instead of corn syrup, which is the main factor in it being better.

      HFCS, specifically, which is very different from corn syrup.

      Corn syrup is about 60% as sweet as sugar, by weight. HFCS is more sweet by weight, (if I remember right), because of the concentration of fructose.

      If only Coke would take a queue from Pepsi and release cane sugar versions nationwide, I was a big fan of the Pepsi real sugar.

        I’ve never really had a problem finding Mexican cokes here in Michigan. They’re not at every gas station but they are at many grocery stores.
