Why can I, living in Chicago, USA, buy mexican-made cokes? It doesn’t make sense to me. They are there in the mexican aisle of my store, but we already have USA cokes one aisle over. Why do most supermarkets sell both?

Because Mexico makes better Coke, since they use real cane sugar. It's cheaper there since they don't have all the fucking corn subsidies.

That's right, Mexico makes an American product better than we do.

Real cane sugar doesn't make it better. Cane sugar is for children.

>>12536342
Because mexican coke uses real cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup.

Okay I know. But why doesn’t the USA produce both then?

Corn subsidies. You have no idea how big the corn lobby is in DC.

The taste is slightly different. I don't see the appeal. It's still sugar and still shit for you either way.

In blind taste tests, with americans and most importantly, non americans. HFCS beverages win out over sugar every time.
Humans are biologically designed to prefer sweet things.

Sime people prefer glass bottles and when the company wanted to save money they stopped selling cola in glass.

source? One one hand I find that hard to belive, but on the other hand HFCS coke has more sugar/calories than mexican coke

[Anonymous No.12536431]

>>12536417
Is it because of taste or because they get a bigger sugar rush from more sugar?

marketing tactics

When USAians are served coke labeled "Mexican coke" vs "American coke" they prefer Mexican. When they are given a blind taste test they prefer American coke make with HFCS because that is what they are used to. Go figure

I'm looking for source. The experiments were based on taste tho.

Humans are only biologically designed to prefer sweet things as CHILDREN. Your sweet tooth is supposed to diminish as you become an adult, and this is for dietary reasons. If you still drink beverages with HFCS as an adult, you have issues.

The fact that they sell well enough in the USA to even have them as an import should be enough to tell you that any such study would probably not be very reproducible.

[Anonymous No.12536503]

>>12536490
People prefer the idea of real sugar over HFCS. This is why the sell so well. In blind taste tests HFCS perform better than cane sugar equivalents.

Sounds like you're the one crying, "boohoo someone told me drinking muh corn syrup water is bad, moommmmmyyyy!" Lashing out when presented with facts isn't a very mature thing to do, anon. Grow up.

Double-blind taste test showed that people can't tell the difference by taste alone. Also Mexican Coke is specifically made and bottled for import the USA, HFCS is used in Coke distributed in Mexico.

>>12536359
It can. It's just cheaper to make it with HFCS; Pepsi still makes a real sugar version.

When we stupidly slapped embargos on Cuba after Castro freed the 95% who were slaves to the corrupt fascist banana republic US puppet Bautistas, our supply of sugar cane was eliminated so Monsanto stepped in with their carcinogenic Roundup saturated corn for hfcs production. Sugar cane is a luxury in short supply in the US.
