I have been in Mexico for a month of so now, and I started to wonder why I liked the Coca-Cola so much?  I was sure it tasted different to the Coca-Cola back home in New Zealand.  It seemed to be sweeter?

I asked a few local people and they told me yes it was different so I Googled it ... and sure enough Mexican Coca-Cola is made from Cane Sugar not high-fructose corn syrup which is the norm.

Mexican Coke has a sweeter, cleaner flavor and you can buy in green-tinted old style contour glass bottles.  There is a huge Coca-Cola bottling plant just around the corner from where I live - so I am not going to run out all of a sudden!
