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.
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.
Now I know what you folks are talking about because we use cane sugar here in Panama.
Sugarcane is grown here to make into sugar.
Now I know, after all these years, why cokes taste different in the U.S.
