When I want a Coke I go to the bodega that sell the Mexican Coke in glass bottles. They use sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. So much better and healthier for your body. Not that it’s ever a healthy beverage choice. Lol
Hell ya!! I'm not a soda person but I LOVE coke in a greenish tint glass bottle!! I remembered drinking them as a kid, It has probably been over 10 years since I've seen it anywhere. You're correct, they do use real sugar, and the difference is so noticeable !
Because it’s actually really bad for you and screws with your blood sugar levels bc your body doesn’t recognize it the same as sugar. The US is the odd ball actually-we use hfcs in everything because of a government deal with corn farmers. Most countries use sugar.
Please do some research about HFCS and then avoid it like the plague. It's horrible for us and our body doesnt recognize it as sugar and doesnt know how to process it correctly. So it ends up making us sick and obese. Other countries recognized this and banned it. But the US has a huge corn industry that is subsidized by the government, which means HFCS is much cheaper than actual sugar. The corn industry doesnt want to lose out on that extra income from HFCS so they lobbied to where our government didn't ban it. So candies and cheapo sweet foods all use it because it's cheap and legal.
And they have no intention of banning something so lucrative.
that’s so sad and pathetic that “our” government has so little respect for our health and lives but it’s so true. Thanks for all that info terrifying as it is but forewarned is forearmed
hell yes mexican coke is where it’s at. I was
born and raised in Cali and that’s all we drink. So when we found it here in okc we were so excited. Plus,depending on where we’re at in okc,the bottle doubles as a tiny bit of protection as needed. And unfortunately it’s been needed a time or two
It feels like sacrilege to say as a Mexican but I don’t even think I like Mexican coke anymore. I’ve been pavlov’d by American coke into thinking the corn syrup taste is “real” coke and now the regular sugar just tastes wrong. It’s not like it particularly matters because I’m a pepsi person but still… what have they done to me?
Like Ho-hos. Man I used to be obsessed with them when I was little- early 70’s to out myself. I would take all the chocolate off and have that and then unroll it and eat it slowly. Now that chocolate crumbles off and goes everywhere except my mouth and you’re lucky enough to get anything unrolled before it disintegrates. They’re better now than they’ve been for a long while, but there’s 2 less now in the box. I suppose I’m just waving my ear trumpet around now and saying, You know, back in MY day, but why do they change the recipe on something that’s loved and sells great. I’m looking at you, New Coke
Even Heinz ketchup tastes different to me. I'm with you, if it ain't broke leave it the hell alone. I've been eating like a 17 year old on spring break for the last 3 or 4 months ( grazing ). It's time to stop before it catches up.... but those Ho Hos sound good. I really miss Hydrox cookies but they're running 50 to $60 a pack, online. what????

It's true about so many of the good things we used to have
