Yup. Unfortunately, now that we have gotten Mexico to open-up its market to our corn-syrup, it’s only a matter of time before Mexican Coca-Cola gets polluted with it.
Hey there!
Have a DMD addict in my household as well. You do have to pay attention to the BEST BY date on DMD. Took awhile to realize this until we also had a run-in with some Target product that was not so good. Maybe avoid Target???
Not that long. Just a hundred and twenty years or so. Soft drinks have been bottled locally by independent bottlers with contracts since the beginning.
I have to agree. I spent spring break in NYC with some friends, and we found a little convenience store that sold Coca-Cola in glass bottles, although about half the writing on those bottles was in Spanish, and it appeared to have been bottled in Mexico. It was really good stuff, though...
It is true, soda in Latin America IS better, made with cane sugar, not high fructose corn syrup.
Pepsi - Pride of the Carolinas
Been a while since that one ran.
kbennkc - ain’t you never poured a couple of those 2 for a $ peanut packs into your Pepsi?
YEP! AND MY RC COLAS, TOO!.........
That is the proper way to enjoy Pepsi . When I am forced to buy , I make it Coke .
For better or worse (probably better), I stopped drinking sugared soda about four years ago. As I my BF dropped from 25% to 7% and my abs became visible, I noticed I could no longer drink the sugared sodas (regular coke or pepsi). They just all tasted awful, as did the one from France.
But I need to start my day with a Diet Pepsi. It just tastes sooooo good.
Arby is buying Wendy’s what?
Pepsi products are bottled in certain geographic areas....Some are bottled in NY, while down here in the south, most are bottled at Buffalo Rock in B’ham. Regardless of where, the bottling company is located on the can/bottle cap. Also, regardless of where, the ingredients and the amounts are the same—everywhere—there is no possibility of one bottler mixing something one way and another bottler mixing it another.....could be the one that tasted bad was out of date and the sugar in it had started to break down.
Yes, it has been that way for a long time. When I live in Michigan I drink Pepsi, and when I live in Kentucky I drink Coke. The taste is different. I guess I’m in KY now permanently, so Coke is it.
I loved New Bern! We lived Havelock (Cherry Pointe MCAS) and then Newport, down near Morehead City. Are planning a trip back in that direction in May.
This was the problem I had. It's not listed. All it says is "manufactured by independent bottlers". I'd like to know which bottler BEFORE purchase and without having to their website.
Pepsi was invented in North Carolina.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
