Mexicans are among the biggest soda drinkers in the world, so residents of the southern city of Ciudad Altamirano were hit hard when first Coca-Cola then Pepsi closed their distribution centers amid drug gang extortion demands.
To paraphrase an old Saturday Night Live routine, it's "No Coke, no Pepsi" for the city in the steamy southern state of Guerrero.
"Soft drinks form a part of our diet, people drink them in their homes, so imagine when the two main distributors in the whole region practically leave," Guerrero state security spokesman Roberto Alvarez said Wednesday. "It's huge."

Pikers. I wear a medical alert bracelet that reads =>

With the players in the equation, there is no way to fix Mexico without massive violence, and likely US involvement.
I have a feeling this is gonna get far worse than anyone imagines.
And a lot of GOP jerks will rue the day they didn’t build a defensible wall.
That the bottlers change from corn syrup to cane sugar?
Sorry, y'all are not Dublin, Texas.
Off topic, but Mexican Coke, made from cane sugar is far superior to U.S stuff, made with high fructose corn syrup. I drink and serve it all the time.
And its in glass bottles too.
Have no intent to go to Mexico to find out.
I get it at Big Lots for a dollar a bottle...tastes like it did when I was a kid!
Can you say Nancy Pelosi BFF MS-13?! I knew you could!!
Of course Nancy relates with MS13, Democrats have been shaking down Big Business for years. How else can they afford multi million dollar Mansions on a 150 grand a year salary.

I will stay with ‘green’ DR Pepper that I buy for $4 per 12 pack of cans.
They need to get it done before 2026.
They are in all our grocery stores now, in the international sections.
Are they threatening to put the Coca back in the Cola and add some Pep to Pepsi?
j/k
In MI, Kroger’s and Target both carry Mexican coke. Maybe more.
No, it will not be found in some sort of international section.
