“The U.S. is allegedly a wealthier country than Mexico, but a U.S. company, Coke (Although the others too), sells a cheaper, inferior version of their product in the U.S., compared to Mexico, why is that?”

Tariffs.

This problem actually isn't caused by tariffs. U.S. companies know they can get away with selling U.S. customers HFCS, but they can't with Mexican customers.

And there is a whole resale market for Mexican coke in the U.S. People buy Mexican coke with real sugar in glass bottles.
