Mexican Coke, which people thought to be superior to American Coke because it uses real cane sugar in place of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS)

otm - anybody who bakes many cookies/cakes can tell you that while the nutritional value of corn syrup and sugar may be the same, their uses with regard to taste & texture are not

European Coke is made with glucose from sugar beets. HFCS is not much of a "thing" over here.

if you want to know what mexican coke tastes like, imagine making a super-sweet cup of earl grey tea, with like three or four teaspoons of sugar. now transfer that sweet-sugar aftertaste to a coke. it's mostly the aftertaste that's different.

question for those not digging sugar in soda: do you drink a lot of soda in general? "a lot" being 1 or more cans/day. cause I rarely have it and HFCS soda is ridiculously sweet to me and sugar soda is just about right.

Please read the labels carefully; supposedly some kosher authorities are OK with HFCS.
FWIW:
1) A couple weeks ago I had a Mexican coke (meh) at a taco place (A++++++, would eat again). Don't forget that other countries' Coke syrup formulas, apart from having different sweeteners, may have slightly different flavoring.
2) Upthread someone else claimed that glass bottles, as opposed to plastic ones, affect the flavor. Apart from any actual such effects, the experience of drinking Mexicoke from a glass bottle (especially if you've sought it out from a remote bodega versus a convenient grocery store) MAY affect the drinker's perception of what he or she's drinking.
― challoped potatoes (j.lu), Saturday, 28 April 2012 17:14 (thirteen years ago)
containers definitely affect flavor. but you can get rid of that by pouring from a plastic bottle into a glass or ceramic cup. same with cans -> glass or ceramic cup.

compared to cane sugar mexican coke and other cane sugar colas i find real deal hfcs americana coke to be just crisper, somehow more complex, more of a caramel note, better.
i would probably rather drink a bottle of diet coke, too, though.
