Mexican Coke

[swiftdog2.0]

No, I'm not talking about the illicit substance. I'm talking Mexican Coca-Cola. In glass bottles made with real sugar. Anyone, try it. I'm hooked. Just seems to taste better in the glass bottle and the real sugar does make a difference. Pricey though. About a buck a bottle. I'm enjoying a nice refreshing one now

The best part is they don't add High Fructose Corn Syrup! So always drink their version whenever possible!!

Crisp, tactile, cold glass adds much.

I remember those small bottles, trying to pop the cap as easily as my grandfather did.

I'm still trying.

 

[FlakeNoir]

I agree with the glass aspect, though I'm specifically thinking of cold beer... I don't like canned beer and almost never use a glass. Straight from the bottle... ahhhh, yeah.

 

[Spideyman]

Not a soda drinking, but local Cosco/ Sams Club were selling it for awhile.

I LOVE Mexican Coke. Luckily, it's easily found in Texas. This may not be a good thing... I wasn't drinking soda cause I don't like the taste of high fructose corn syrup, and now I am I heard Pepsi is going to make the real sugar variety too

Flake... I like beer in a glass bottle best too I pour mine into a frosty mug though

I'd heard about a month or so ago that Pepsi is planning to start using sugar again instead of high fructose corn syrup in some of their sodas because of the concerns about the corn syrup. Maybe Coke will follow suit for their US production.

I noticed in the past couple years that Pepsi ' s "Throwback" sodas contained real sugar. Don't know if they were available nation wide. I think it was a limited - run type of thing. Good to hear they might make it a permanent change.

Pepsi already makes a real sugar version of Pepsi and Mountain Dew. It's called Pepsi Throwback and Mountain Dew Throwback. It can be bought in Cans and 20 oz(plastic) bottle I believe.

They should be available everywhere they decided to keep it cause it sold well.

This thread is making me thirsty!!!

Hey, college laundry and snacks were paid for with returnables--lol. Nothing like the taste of old-style, glass bottled Coke

 

[skimom2]

We've had sugar Pepsi and Mountain Dew for years-called Pepsi Throwback and Mountain Dew Throwback. I didn't know it wasn't available nationwide! Makes sense, though: UT consumes a HUGE amount of soda/ice cream/sweets of any kind. Good place to market test.

 

[SutterKane]

Yeah the Pepsi throwback is great. Whenever I drink soda I usually go for that if it's available. First I'm hearing of "Mexican Coke" but I'm gonna try a bottle if my local stores carry it,

Just thought I'd mention... it's not actually labeled Mexican Coke. It looks like a normal Coke bottle with a paper nutrition facts label slapped on.

Swifty, the Mexican Coke is the cousin of Israeli Coke. One's kosher and the other isn't, but both are made with pure sugar and not corn syrup. That's why both taste better. The container it comes in makes no difference - it will taste the same in glass or aluminum. The sugar and the glass bottle make it more expensive and differentiate it from the non-kosher, corn syrup-sweetened Coke distributed in the rest of the world. Interesting.

For those of us of a certain age and beyond, this is the only kind of Coca Cola (and other sodas) we grew up with. Real sugar and sold in bottles.

...you're right honey and some places even sell the bottled "originals" as a specialty item....
