Check the ingredients. At least as of late, the nutrition label has listed "HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP AND/OR SUCROSE CARAMEL"

Coke does taste better with cane sugar and in a glass bottle and why Coca-Cola does not recognize this fact is they think we dont care. Back in1985 they changed the secret formula to compete with Pepsi and almost killed the golden goose. If loyal Coke drinkers started a boycott of this imposter formula Coca-Cola would get their act together fast. Start a internet petition and demand that Coke take out corn syrup now or we stop buying it, eventually states will ban soda with corn syrup as a sweetner California will lead the way. And on Mexi Coke one thing comes to mind when you travel to Mexico dont drink the water i dont think they import our water for Mexi Coke.

LOL !!! I'm can't fit inside my house amazed and indirectly flattered reading the rave(??) reviews our humble Coke has garnered!!
I'm a heavy (3 to 4 12oz bottles) Coke fan, recently also indulging on Pepsi Natl (1 600mL PET daily) and yes, I noticed a strange taste
on US Coke, but never occured to me that tho the sticker does mention HFCS, it is in fact sugar, now I know. Well, I'm so glad that out humble product appeals to certain palates, and to the lady from Boulder who tasted a bad Monterrey bottle, it sure was left in the sun, as a Monterrey resident, close to one of three bottling plants, I have witnessed many times how the truck guys leave the doors open and tasted those Cokes, ugly. But when cared for as God intends, both 355mL and 192mL (remember those?) taste as nectar from heaven!!
Cheers! Mexican Coke is it!!!!

I was recently in the Dominican Republic and drank a Coke at our resort. It was out of this world! It tasted like I remembered it as a kid. They told me it was made with sugar. It's all I drank the rest of the time there. It was hands down better than the domestic HFCS version I was used to drinking. So good that I went out and bought some glass bottled Mexican Coke when I returned home. Sure I pay more now, but I love the great nastalgic taste! Pepsi did it here… why can't Coke?

Luckily, Mexi-Coke can be had at most small convenience stores, 7-11s, and WalMarts (ethnic section) here in Coloardo. Usually costs between $1 and $1.75 (for the 1-liter glass bottle). Tastes clean and great.

There's been a lot of HFCS ads lately insisting corn syrup is just as good as sugar health and taste-wise. Pathetic.

I'm amazed there aren't more comments here!

Must be all the Pepsi lovers, I guess

Mexican Coke is worse than Crack! I buy 4 cases at a time at my local Costco (Burbank, California) for around $20 +/- (so it's less than a Dollar a bottle - at one point it was only $17.99 so about $0.75 cents). I go through them at a 2-a-day clip. I am totally addicted ("Hello, my name is Riot and I'm an addict … ").

The Coca-Cola and Pepsi people are on drugs thinking this stuff tastes anything like their HFCS crap. God intended soda to be drank out of a glass bottle, with pure cane sugar! Plastic bottles (helloooo, Pepsi 'Throwback') and aluminum cans leave crappy aftertastes!

I have drank Coke all over the world. EVERY other country/bottler uses pure cane sugar … EXCEPT in the US. It is all part of the big global conspiracy to ram HFCS down our throats just because in this particular country it's cheaper than sugar - much as plastic must be cheaper than glass. If Coca-Cola and Pepsi want to claim it's cheaper to use plastic and HFCS then why is it that in much poorer countries, they use glass and cane sugar???

For me, nothing beats a Thai Coke - it is insanely good. But Mexican Coke is a close second. Sometimes I get duff batches that are a bit more acidic (this also depends on where it's bottled; I noticed a Monterrey-bottled Coke I got in Boulder Colorado tasted worse than the ones I get here at home in Los Angeles from Costco).

Viva la Mexican Coke!

If you're in the Emaaus PA area pick up Coke there…I don't know who the bottler is but on periodic visits to family there
Coke cans always list "sugar" as the sweetener, which is confimed by a taste test…Any local residents out there to elaborate?

Very old reply… but 355 ml = 12.0039781 US fluid ounces.

I always thought that persons - who were at least 10 when Coke switched to HFCS from sucrose, (white sugar), knew and remembered from their own taste that sucrose-sweetened Coke tasted better than the iimposter made with HFCS. Coke switched to HFCS because it is cheaper than sucrose and I'm sure the corn lobby made Coke a "sweet" offer to switch to HFCS, just like the corn lobbyists manipulated the government into forcing ethanol on us - causing populations worldwide to rebel as their food staple, (corn), became prohibitively expensive. Mexico's main diet is corn - you connect the dots. The health problems caused by HFCS consumption, (chiefly obesity), are well concealed, too. I loved a cold Coke in the glass bottle, but now I get headaches when I drink a soda sweetened with HFCS so I don't drink them now. Maybe I can find some sucrose-sweetened Coke and savor a delicious drink again!
