A Sweet Difference

To celebrate Cinco de Mayo a day early, I am drinking Mexican Coke we found yesterday. It has real sugar and not high fructose corn syrup. According to Coke, you aren’t supposed to be able to tell the difference between Coke sold in the US and Mexico, but the Mexican Coke seems less sweet.

Mexican Coke vs. American Coke

  • Mexican Coke: Made with real cane sugar
  • American Coke: Made with high fructose corn syrup
  • Taste difference: Mexican version seems less sweet

Your Thoughts?

Have you tried Mexican Coke? Can you taste the difference between cane sugar and high fructose corn syrup?
