Mmmmmmm, yummy. Dublin Dr. Pepper?

Actually, it's $18.95 for a case of 24 bottles.

Considering the quality, -not too bad.

[1rudeboy]

I can’t find that price in Chicago (although I haven’t been looking that assiduosly).

[Doe Eyes]

what kind of soda is made with cane sugar?

Might just be in southern states, but many stores sell Coke made in Mexico. Its made from cane sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup used in the American version.

[Canedawg]

Thanks.

[1rudeboy]

Gah. Forgive the spelling.

[Cyropaedia]

>>They sell the imported stuff from Mexico

I buy that a lot -- a little pricey but it's much nicer.

And we're talking about the cola here, just to be clear

What... you mean, ...ohhhh... uh, yeah. We're talkin' about the "soft drink". Sure.

I will go out and stockpile classic coke then!

[TomGuy]

No.

After the New Coke/Coke Classic fiasco, the cola was never the same.

Coke Classic was not the same cola of the pre-New Coke era. It just didn’t have the same fizz, the same taste, the same oomph.

Open a Coke Classic and it will go flat in 15 minutes. Open an Original Coke and it still had fizz the next day.

Coke at costco comes in from Mexico with real sugar in it. Or so I was told.

[Welsh Rabbit]

Boylan?

Coke from Mexico uses sugar cane (original formula) for sweetener instead of corn syrup. Result- smooooth and does not burn the mouth.

I bought some in 10oz glass bottles
last year from a Mexi-specialty grocery store here in the mid west.

I loves me some rootbeer - A&W, Barq’s, MUG, Stewart’s, etc.

My all time favorite, though, is Vernor’s Ginger Ale. One of the best things ever to come out of Michigan.

I don't know as sugar is the only thing that was changed. Coke in the 50's had a bite. The new Coke classic is tame.

Might just be in southern states, but many stores sell Coke made in Mexico. Its made from cane sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup used in the American version.

Alas, those days are over. Mexican Coke switched over to HFC too (about a year ago). Still comes in the cool retro glass bottles though.

Vernor’s is the BEST! Ever had a “Boston Cooler”?

[Daffynition]

The Coke formula...

[DemforBush]

a lady friend of mine, who happens to be Jewish, tells me there is a Kosher Coke available during certain times of the year (such as Passover). It too, apparently uses real sugar instead of corn syrup.

Had one last night, as a matter of fact. :-)
