I will only use pure cane granulated sugar; it it doesn't
state it on the label, I assume it's sugar beet sugar. It
takes a lot less of the pure cane granulated sugar than it
does the cheaper beet sugar. I like Domino. - I also use
raw sugar once in a while, raw honey, pure maple syrup.
The difference in the amount I have to use is what I
notice. Also, fructose isn't all that good for us and
high fructose corn syrup is making all of us fat, except
some of you lucky ones with atomic metabolisms.
I've ordered a quarter Travis, as far as finishing it goes... :)
We have Save a Lot stores here. They have a lot of
Mexican stuff since we have a lot Mexicans around this
area, but I can't read the labels. I've noticed they
are carrying cold drinks, but I still can't read what they
are.
Ya didn't get a weenie sucker did ya ?:o)
Mom can be mean if ya don't eat what ya order !
I don't think so. It really is better --- I didn't know about the sugar --- I thought it was because usually you buy it in a recycled greenish glass bottle instead of cans and plastic like here.
My eyes were bigger than my stomach. I stay away from them giant turkey legs at the fair too.
I remembered that --- still you get used to bottled Coke if you travel much through Mexico --- you really shouldn't drink the water and often Coke is about the only thing you find that's safe to drink. I normally don't drink soft drinks much though.
We have a store here in Dallas that sells Mexican Coca-Cola, and yes, there is a difference.
It's the Central Market HEB store, I go to the one in Plano off the Bush Turnpike at Coit.
Thanks..... I'm going to try it sometime. Unique stores those Central Markets of HEB.
In Mexico and other countries, there is no such ridiculous interference in the free market, and Coke is made with sucrose (cane sugar) as God intended. Sucrose is a more complex molecule, breaks down more slowly, and tastes way better.
We need to slap the sugar and corn barons down, and demand cheap cane sugar at world-market prices.
And they put that corn syrup swill in just about everything: check you ingredients labels.
I no longer eat bread, but when I did I was amazed that all ready made bread has corn syrup in it.
I used to make my own bread that beat anything store bought, and my bread had no sugar or corn syrup swill--and my bread tasted much better (and my bread wasn't squishy, either).

I must agree, Mexican coke tastes better. I always thought that it is appreciably sweeter. Used to buy it in 2-liter bottles. Mmmmmmgood!
Oh, and one of the dealiest (they call it "mortal" in Mexico) and worst tasting drink is US-made Diet Coke. Ugh!
We have the Mexican stuff at the 7-11's here in Dallas, and yes, the imported stuff made with cane sugar does indeed taste better.
Diet Coke is so removed, flavorwise, from its original that I can't understand why anyone would drink it. It doesn't taste like ANYTHING--even a diet version of anything. Wet chemicals!
I know. Get them to dump the sugar and eat something else. So many cute ladies going to waste...
