Read your comment, didn't get it, scrolled away, jaw dropped as I realised what you were talking about and had to come back to check I read that right 💀
The main problem is, you've gotta get it in the country it's made, or somewhere close. By the time it gets to your country, environmental exposure has ruined the flavor.
The problem is corn syrup costs more to make than sugar but is subsidized by the U.S. government so Manufactureing of sweetened foods cost the companies less to make. Look at a candy bar, cookies, even canned foods have corn syrup. A human body can't digest it fully it immediately bonds with fat cells and can't be dieted or exercised away. Only liposuction or surgery can. It is the main cause for our national obesity problem.
@@marcelousneal4641 the plastic bottles aren't the problem here in Mexico the coke bottles come in plastic ones too and still taste good as the glass ones it's the ingredients that give it the flavor not the bottle lmao
@@marcelousneal4641 they literally use different sugar types, their not the same bro one uses corn syrup and the other uses cane sugar two different ingredients.
its not the the sugar that changes the flavor. It s the the glass botte that retains the full carbonation of the soda. Plastic bottles lose Co2 due to plastic being porous.
@@anniep7627I believe so too. A long time ago, USA used to import a lot of cane sugar from Jamaica. Now corn syrup is cheaper than bringing cane sugar to USA; whereas Mexico has tons of local cane to harvest more cane sugar!!!
Soft drinks used to be made with cane sugar, back in my day (I am 65). Before the (so called) high price of sugar made the soft drink companies start using high fructose corn syrup! Pepsi makes a "real sugar" version of their drink (compared to their regular Pepsi with high fructose corn syrup). Tastes different, if you aren't used to sugar but, better than high fructose corn syrup!!
@brianroberts7716 I'm sure you're right that the container makes a difference, but how can you possibly suggest that a change of ingredients doesn't result in a change of flavour? I'm assuming the coke in the UK and Europe is the same as the Mexican stuff. We don't use corn syrup, as far as i know and a lot of the chemicals put in American products are illegal.
Hfcs has 55% fructose and 45% sucrose. Cane sugar is 50/50. Hfcs is not the problem. The actual problem is the abundance of added sugars in processed food in the USA. Also, the fact that people just guzzle ounces and ounces of soda a day. The quckest way to ingest calories is by drinking it. Stop drinking sodas and stop eating things with added sugars. In essence, yes, avoid products with hfcs. Not necessarily because it is hfcs, but because it has no business being in the ingredient list and because it is overused.

Why US doesn’t ban high fructose corn syrup when it is harmful for consumption? Coke should do something since they made so much money for so long and still they don’t want to give back to the community.
One of the reasons it taste better is because the ORIGINAL formula was made from "pure cane sugar" which they transitioned out because corn syrup is MUCH cheaper and does not rely on a crop that has very limited places in the United States it can grow at. Oh and also because the "corn industry" pretty much paid off everybody so that corn syrup would be the ONLY thing besides artificial sweeteners that can go into American coke.
I want that product boycotted. I shouldn't have to cut soda with lemonade because it hurts my bladder and my kidneys. We eat plenty of corn. We don't need corn syrup. We had excellent hurricane protection when we had sugar cane crops on the edge of the Everglades.
High fructose corn syrup has a very distinct and overpowering flavor. The only reason we don't usually notice it is because it's in almost everything we eat in the US, so we've built up a tolerance for it, just like how the palette of diet soda drinkers eventually adjusts to the awful taste of those beverages.
Please do. I went there for the first time 2 months ago(3 more times since then) and the food made me sick every time, no offence. The food quality in the US really needs to be improved.
Because the only thing u.s. coke is good for being used as a cleaning product. It really gets rid of that rust and cleans stainless steel and silver perfectly. Just do not consume. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That delicious bpa melting into the soup of chemicals they call soda. I don't why we've allowed only America to replace normal beverages and food with cancer causing FrankinFood. I stopped consuming it and my health and quality of life has skyrocketed. Get your shit from fresh food markets and farms that dont use Monsanto. Drinking the coke with real suger in the glass bottle, although not the healthiest, you can just taste the difference
US Coke: Dry mouth, need another drink, feel dirty inside. Avoid like the plague. Mexican Coke: Buys smaller bottle because it's enough. Original recipe. Always checks for availability.
He had to keep the conditions of how both cokes were served the same so as to limit any differences that could in turn bring about differences in taste.
as a mexican, I can say that there's even a difference in taste between the various containers. we have plastic bottles, glass bottles and cans. glass is best, bht there even a difference between the taste of liter bottles, half, liter, 12 ounce and 4 ounce mini bottles. I would say 12 oz is the best tasting.
Very true, glass is best then plastic is ok and cans are the worst. I will take a plastic bottle over a can every time and glass bottle over everything else always. I was so glad that pepsi brought back mountain dew with real sugar, I just wish they'd sell it in glass bottles!
id say this is very psychological, but I agree. It does taste better. Also, if you go to a local Costco or something similar, all the glass bottles have cane sugar coca-cola. I noticed quite a bit difference when i first tried it. 100% worth it.
U need to go to the little town stores cuse they still hand make them the original way just big stores like HEB, Walmart etc make them like USA trust me I'm a Mexican my self😊😊😊
The Mexican version is the original Coke recipe without the actual coke. The soda was originally created as a medicine but failed. The creator accidently made the beverage. It was originally only called Coke because it was made from cocaine but after the FDA was created, or something happened, i forget, they had to remove it and the name changed to coca cola. The second CEO switched to HFCS to lower prices and compete with new competition. It was expensive to get the can sugar from Mexico ... which is why Mexico still uses the cane sugar, they are the largest producers of it. Sorry, I'm a foodie and food nerd. There's a whole series on Hulu about the food that built America.
Made in 1886 with Cocaine and the Cola nut. Originally called Coca-Cola. Ban on cocaine switched it to using caffeine for the boost. Name changed to Coke in the 80s when they tried to change the formula but wasn't successful, which resulted to them bringing the original back which they called Coca Cola Classic. The Coke was changed to Coke 2. Which was still a flop and ended up being sold only in certain countries until it was discontinued. And now it's just Coca Cola again. I'm a cocaholic and I use to work for a distributor.
@@TamaSamoaAnamuaI remember as a kid having two options at the vending machine at the corner market near my house. One was for Coca-Cola, and then way down the machine, the second to last option, was Coke. That was made in response to the Pepsi Challenge earlier in the 80s where people preferred the sweeter taste of Pepsi. What they didn’t take into account was that consumers ended up not liking the sweeter taste when they consumed an entire can or bottle of Pepsi. It was too sweet and many people turned to Coca-Cola Classic. New Coke failed for similar reasons. Well, that and the fact that you don’t mess with Americana! As much as I’ve always preferred Coca-Cola, there was one Pepsi product I was absolutely obsessed with: Crystal Clear Pepsi. It existed briefly in my tween/early teen years. Loved it. Loved the smell. Loved the taste. Loved that it was clear. Loved that I was 12 and could drink endless amounts of it and not gain weight.
This is absolutely the truth! Probably a lot has to do with the glass bottle, but the Mexican Coke is 100% better! Depending on where you live it’s pretty easy to find in the US.
It’s not just coke it’s most sodas in Latin America. They don’t modify their corn into corn syrup so they use cane sugar. jarritos are my personal favorites.
The Mexican version has a slightly different flavor than the American but what really makes it stand out, and better in my opinion, is the mex version has cane sugar which doesn't leave a syrupy texture in your mouth and the fizz is more satisfying.
The real reason actually isnt the sugar, its the bottle, to keep the acidic drink from reacting with the plastic they put a protective lining inside the plastic bottle, but the drink still reacts with that lining and changes the flavor, while glass bottle coke (any glass bottle coke not just mexican) taste better because almost nothing including coke reacts with glass making the bottle superior at preserving the flavor
Reasons why is because of the glass bottle there is less of a chance for micro plastics to enter the drink container combined with a more natural sweetener this makes the mexican coke significantly better
Interestingly enough, as a Jew, I learned about this years ago during Passover, which is where you cannot eat certain types of grain or leavened breads. One of the prohibited grains is corn, so American Coke is not Kosher for Passover. However, Mexican Coke is, since it uses cane sugar!
Absolutely. What is sad is our Coke used to taste like the Mexico version. I live in Tucson. There is a deli here that sells it. At least once a month I get my fix with a really great pizza
Btw, glass bottles are the best way to enjoy a beverage. Glass acts neutral to any liquid and won't alter the taste. Cans take some of the taste "away" and plastic bottles add a bit of that plastic taste.
Absolutely, not just the Mexican version, but in fact most of the world uses sugar cane and not cornsyrup. In fact, you have to leave the USA to experience the true taste of Coca Cola, the way it was made in the past.
No other countries are special.. Mexican coke is different because coke has its roots in North America. Coke from other countries tastes worse than American coke bud😂
@@The_og_moonwalker honestly it doesn’t taste better but that’s only with a select amount of countries like Mexico.. like a really small select amount. Idk just a thought
I live in germany, and I did never drink an american coke, because the "mexican coke" is the normal variant here (and it also comes in both plastic and glass bottles)
We need to petition Coca-Cola to start making cane sugar, Coca-Cola in the United States and bottles like Mexico. Recycling the bottles will result in a discount like the old days.
Al decir mexican americano que es ese modismos americano somos todos los que nacimos y vivimos en el continente americano desde Alaska hasta la Patagonia deberías decir mexicano Norte americano ha por cierto me han dicho que la Coca cola de México es una de las mejores de américa
Many countries use sugar in there coke. We in the US transitioned to corn syrup because it was cheaper for the companies and we all suffer from it. It's in nearly everything we eat that is sweetened
I'm old. Coke USA used to be made with Imperial Pure Cane Sugar and come in refillable glass bottles. In the 1970s they shifted to corn syrup and plastic to lessen production costs. Mexico bottlers never made that shift. Also many believe Mexico still uses one of the older formulas where the US formula has been tweeked a few times over the years. The Coca Cola we drink now is not what I had back in the day. We drink Coca Cola Classic. It was formulated to replace New Coke, a colossal failure from the 1980s. tldr: Mexican Coke BETTER!!
Are people ignoring that one of the reasons for why the US doesn't use cane sugar is the trade embargo with Cuba. Otherwise the USA could source extremely high quantities of cane sugar right on its border.
Philippines is getting played as well. We now have plastic bottles for coke sprite pepsi mountain dew royal. (mix in the province) and it’s Carbonated water, Caramel color, Acidulants (Phosphoric acid, Citric acid), Sweeteners (Sucralose and Acesulfame-K), Natural flavors, Preservative (Sodium benzoate), Acidity regulator (Sodium citrate), Caffeine. Saturated Fat 0g, Trans Fat 0g, Dietary Fiber 0g. As for Royal It’s Sugar. And sarsi is in a glass bottle and can. Province only Bottle. Sarsi is a very popular soft drink in Southeast Asian countries. The flavor is similar to root beer. Available in 330mL cans. Ingredients: Carbonated Water, Sugar, Caramel Color, Preservative (Sodium Benzoate), Natural and Artificial Flavors, Sweeteners (Neotame and Ace-K), Acidulant (Citric Acid).
Everyone has the Mexico version don't they (except US of course). In Australia ours is made with cane sugar. Have no idea what it tastes like with high fructose corn syrup but apparently it's better.
We had to bring another glass bottle to buy a coke or leave money untill you return the bottle. You can also buy the bottle but that would be expensive coke. If it was slightly broken when opening, you lose your money....but the people would use it to grind salt or things of that nature, use it as bottle..., if broken bad, pieces would be used to shave. TIA. Cans and plastic coke were luxury lol
Rather than it being a Mexican version it's more of a global one, most places around the world have a very similar coke flavour with the slight difference being where the sugar is sourced E.G Mexico uses cane sugar whereas the UK uses sugar from sugar beets. Only the us tends to use the corn syrup that gives it that iconic artificial chemically taste. That aside a big difference her is that the Mexican coke is also in a glass bottle, coke tastes way better out of a bottle.
Yes I 💯% agree especially with that natural cane sugar it's amazing. Now they are available at some Mexican supermarkets now to purchase.👍 Delicious. And it always in that original classic glass bottle wish makes it more authentic.
I believe that it's not just sugar vs corn syrup, or variations of mix. That it's also something to do with the bottle itself. That plastic bottles can impart a slight 'synthetic' tang to the drinks contained where as glass, doesn't. I'm old enough to remember when all cokes came in were glass bottles. Even from vending machines. With those you had to be mindful of what size coke you were getting. Like if you dropped .35 cents for what you thought was a 12oz coke, but it turned out to be a 8 oz bottle. I seem to recall the near one liter bottles being priced about .75 cents to .85 cents. Sure I understand that glass is heavier than plastic, and corn syrup is cheaper than actual sugar, but if I'm going to be dropping near $2 or more for a coke, just give it to me in a late 80's early 90's style screw top glass bottle. It'll taste so much better and be re-closable, until the actual pop top bottles.
Shirley, pls, he is drinking out of a glass. What you are saying would make sense if he drinks them out of the bottle, but he is not doing it. And if you are saying that because the American coke got a different taste because was stored in a plastic bottle and that changed the flavor, then.... we would have far bigger problems than just taste, because you would be talking about chemical interaction, so, no. The plastic bottle has nothing to do, it's the HFC syrup crap you get in all american sweets that is the problem. He even mentioned it.
This is my 4th month of not drinking any sodas and sugar. It was hard initially, but now I can control my cravings. Don’t feel like drinking it. Even now that I’m thirsty at the moment, after watching this video, I don’t feel like drinking coke or any other soda substance. I was addicting to it. Proud of myself!
Good for you man! Eliminating added sugar from your diet takes time and effort, but it's definitely worth it for your health! Makes you look more attractive too.
Another cool trick to try. Is Papa top on a Mexican Coke and put it back in the fridge. Pop the top on an American Coke. Put it in the fridge. Come back a day later. You'll find out the American Coke will be as flat as Kristen Stewart. The Mexican Coke will still be nice and stacked like Salma Hayek. 😁
I get the Mexican soda, not just Coke from Amazon. I grew up in the 70's drinking soda with sugar from glass bottles. It's just like it was in 72'. It's a little heavier on return day, but that's okay!
In 1986 I was in Cancun Mexico and had a coke from a little grass hut stand near the ferry to Cozumel. It was hot and the coke was partly frozen. It was the best coke drink I ever had.
Not law.. the US government subsidize corn industry therefore it's cheaper for companies to use corn syrup instead of sugar. It's all about socialism for big companies.
@@j.p.4199 the corn industry being subsidized is part of the US farming laws. So exactly what I said. And even if that WOULDNT be the case youre still wrong because it also taste different because of different filtration water systems and bottling processes. So different international laws. Back in line. Try again…
The fact that the Mexican version came in a glass bottle already gave it a huge advantage

I would say 12 oz is the best tasting.
Very true, glass is best then plastic is ok and cans are the worst. I will take a plastic bottle over a can every time and glass bottle over everything else always. I was so glad that pepsi brought back mountain dew with real sugar, I just wish they'd sell it in glass bottles!
id say this is very psychological, but I agree. It does taste better. Also, if you go to a local Costco or something similar, all the glass bottles have cane sugar coca-cola. I noticed quite a bit difference when i first tried it. 100% worth it.
This is true wherever you are im from philippines the glass bottles taste good compare to plastic or cans
Agree pop does taste better out of a glass bottle.
100% Agreed
That's why mexico has the highest percentage of diabetic ppl.
Unfortunately, Mexico has begun using high fructose corn syrup and the flavor has dramatically changed for the worse. I am so sad now.
Yeah, tasted it a couple of weeks ago and it just wasn't the same anymore 😢
Yeah, these days you have to get Cola from certain european countries to have the real sugar variety.
U need to go to the little town stores cuse they still hand make them the original way just big stores like HEB, Walmart etc make them like USA trust me I'm a Mexican my self😊😊😊
@@nanomageEuropean countries made certain ingredients illegal.
I had japanese coke and Dr. Pepper. so much better.
That’s only the plastic and can coke bottles. The glass bottle ones like in this video still use cane sugar
The Mexican version is the original Coke recipe without the actual coke. The soda was originally created as a medicine but failed. The creator accidently made the beverage. It was originally only called Coke because it was made from cocaine but after the FDA was created, or something happened, i forget, they had to remove it and the name changed to coca cola. The second CEO switched to HFCS to lower prices and compete with new competition. It was expensive to get the can sugar from Mexico ... which is why Mexico still uses the cane sugar, they are the largest producers of it. Sorry, I'm a foodie and food nerd. There's a whole series on Hulu about the food that built America.
They are the biggest producers because they are, unfortunately, the biggest consumers
It wasn't made from cocaine, it was made with cocaine
Made in 1886 with Cocaine and the Cola nut. Originally called Coca-Cola. Ban on cocaine switched it to using caffeine for the boost. Name changed to Coke in the 80s when they tried to change the formula but wasn't successful, which resulted to them bringing the original back which they called Coca Cola Classic. The Coke was changed to Coke 2. Which was still a flop and ended up being sold only in certain countries until it was discontinued. And now it's just Coca Cola again. I'm a cocaholic and I use to work for a distributor.
@@TamaSamoaAnamuaI remember as a kid having two options at the vending machine at the corner market near my house. One was for Coca-Cola, and then way down the machine, the second to last option, was Coke. That was made in response to the Pepsi Challenge earlier in the 80s where people preferred the sweeter taste of Pepsi. What they didn’t take into account was that consumers ended up not liking the sweeter taste when they consumed an entire can or bottle of Pepsi. It was too sweet and many people turned to Coca-Cola Classic. New Coke failed for similar reasons. Well, that and the fact that you don’t mess with Americana!
As much as I’ve always preferred Coca-Cola, there was one Pepsi product I was absolutely obsessed with: Crystal Clear Pepsi. It existed briefly in my tween/early teen years. Loved it. Loved the smell. Loved the taste. Loved that it was clear. Loved that I was 12 and could drink endless amounts of it and not gain weight.
Yes because it's in a glass bottle it healthier also! Plastic is bad for our health
The Mexican cola DOES taste so much better! It’s like the Coke Cola I had growing up in the 60’s. I only buy that kind now.😌
It’s a placebo effects there is literally no difference
@@someonewhoisyou4643difference exist, usa made it with corn sugar and mex with sugar cane

Mexican coke taste alittle different but I wouldn’t say it’s better tho
Yeah they put coke in coke
This is absolutely the truth! Probably a lot has to do with the glass bottle, but the Mexican Coke is 100% better! Depending on where you live it’s pretty easy to find in the US.
Check your local taco shop. They usually stock the Mexico bottled coke and it tastes like the older version. It's very good!
I agree❤
Okay.
It’s made with coca
They sell them in a 24 pack at Costco
Good point! .... thx
All the soda drinks that come from Mexico have a better taste then the USA versions

It’s not just coke it’s most sodas in Latin America. They don’t modify their corn into corn syrup so they use cane sugar. jarritos are my personal favorites.
"This is you vs the guy she told you not to worry about"

The Mexican version has a slightly different flavor than the American but what really makes it stand out, and better in my opinion, is the mex version has cane sugar which doesn't leave a syrupy texture in your mouth and the fizz is more satisfying.
💯
The real reason actually isnt the sugar, its the bottle, to keep the acidic drink from reacting with the plastic they put a protective lining inside the plastic bottle, but the drink still reacts with that lining and changes the flavor, while glass bottle coke (any glass bottle coke not just mexican) taste better because almost nothing including coke reacts with glass making the bottle superior at preserving the flavor
Coke corporate leaders have left the chat...
SORRYBUT EVERY THING TEST BETTER OUT OF THE USA
Why? You just watched a coke ad lmao they loving it
Reasons why is because of the glass bottle there is less of a chance for micro plastics to enter the drink container combined with a more natural sweetener this makes the mexican coke significantly better
So that's why it's more sacred than water in Southern Mexico
Mexican coke taste even better when you drink it directly out the glass bottle. Make sure it's ice cold❤
Tastes better with rum.
Interestingly enough, as a Jew, I learned about this years ago during Passover, which is where you cannot eat certain types of grain or leavened breads. One of the prohibited grains is corn, so American Coke is not Kosher for Passover. However, Mexican Coke is, since it uses cane sugar!
And when you see yellow lids on coke this is because the local bottler is actually using cane sugar for the Passover period. Keep your eyes open.

Good analogy.
That shot was funny 😂
Its not just the sugar source. The American one is in plastic. And soda is an acid. It leeches plastic into the drink, while glass is natural
Btw, glass bottles are the best way to enjoy a beverage. Glass acts neutral to any liquid and won't alter the taste. Cans take some of the taste "away" and plastic bottles add a bit of that plastic taste.
Boycott cocacola
@@theend5876go to Mexico
@@arctictropic1147 boycott Israel product
Bottles gives you more bite (i.e, keeps the carbonation much better) for starters. Plus cane sugar just tastes better than HFC. :)
Glass doesn't release toxins like metal or plastic.
Absolutely, not just the Mexican version, but in fact most of the world uses sugar cane and not cornsyrup. In fact, you have to leave the USA to experience the true taste of Coca Cola, the way it was made in the past.
Its the same.
No other countries are special.. Mexican coke is different because coke has its roots in North America. Coke from other countries tastes worse than American coke bud😂

It's because Mexican drinks are made with water falls
Many countries use sugar in there coke. We in the US transitioned to corn syrup because it was cheaper for the companies and we all suffer from it. It's in nearly everything we eat that is sweetened
I'm old. Coke USA used to be made with Imperial Pure Cane Sugar and come in refillable glass bottles. In the 1970s they shifted to corn syrup and plastic to lessen production costs. Mexico bottlers never made that shift. Also many believe Mexico still uses one of the older formulas where the US formula has been tweeked a few times over the years. The Coca Cola we drink now is not what I had back in the day. We drink Coca Cola Classic. It was formulated to replace New Coke, a colossal failure from the 1980s. tldr: Mexican Coke BETTER!!
Coca Coca Classic was supposed to be a return to the formula used just prior to New Coke.
He,s right also the difference in Europe or example Morocco in Morocco its more fresh less sugar and more flavour!💯💪👍
"this is you vs the guy she tells u not to worry about" 😂😂😂
HUGE Difference -- Mexico's is made with pure cane sugar -- no chemicals or disgusting HFCS.
Are people ignoring that one of the reasons for why the US doesn't use cane sugar is the trade embargo with Cuba. Otherwise the USA could source extremely high quantities of cane sugar right on its border.
Same in Philippines, cane sugar, and is superior. Even the quarter pounder and french fries at McD is like it was in America 40+ years ago.
Why do Americans settle for the inferior quality products? This is fairly consistent of American companies to do. 🤬
Philippines is getting played as well. We now have plastic bottles for coke sprite pepsi mountain dew royal. (mix in the province) and it’s Carbonated water, Caramel color, Acidulants (Phosphoric acid, Citric acid), Sweeteners (Sucralose and Acesulfame-K), Natural flavors, Preservative (Sodium benzoate), Acidity regulator (Sodium citrate), Caffeine. Saturated Fat 0g, Trans Fat 0g, Dietary Fiber 0g. As for Royal It’s Sugar. And sarsi is in a glass bottle and can. Province only Bottle.
Sarsi is a very popular soft drink in Southeast Asian countries. The flavor is similar to root beer. Available in 330mL cans. Ingredients: Carbonated Water, Sugar, Caramel Color, Preservative (Sodium Benzoate), Natural and Artificial Flavors, Sweeteners (Neotame and Ace-K), Acidulant (Citric Acid).
Coke in glass bottles is always freshest like old-school.
Yes! I personally think plastic and cans dull the overall flavor.
Glass > Can > Plastic
Precisely!!! 👍🏽
All tastes better from glass bottles
Knew I'd find this comment in here somewhere 👍 Yupp it the glass bottle.
Coke from Mexico is the bomb

Meh
💀💀💀
Everyone has the Mexico version don't they (except US of course). In Australia ours is made with cane sugar. Have no idea what it tastes like with high fructose corn syrup but apparently it's better.

I miss those coke glasses. Part of my childhood right there.
Look for them at the thrift shops
I have 2 coke glasses I got from the Coca Cola factory in Atlanta
We had to bring another glass bottle to buy a coke or leave money untill you return the bottle. You can also buy the bottle but that would be expensive coke.
If it was slightly broken when opening, you lose your money....but the people would use it to grind salt or things of that nature, use it as bottle..., if broken bad, pieces would be used to shave. TIA.
Cans and plastic coke were luxury lol
I have two of them, one clear transparent and a green one. They might be easy to find. 💯
Yeah I'm with you. I'd rather the glass or aluminium can version over plastic.
Rather than it being a Mexican version it's more of a global one, most places around the world have a very similar coke flavour with the slight difference being where the sugar is sourced E.G Mexico uses cane sugar whereas the UK uses sugar from sugar beets.
Only the us tends to use the corn syrup that gives it that iconic artificial chemically taste.
That aside a big difference her is that the Mexican coke is also in a glass bottle, coke tastes way better out of a bottle.
✨Iconic Artificial Taste✨ 😂 I'll say this tho Americans have mastered the art of selling garbage
It’s not just Mexico. In Europe in the 70’s we had glass bottles and real sugar and that was the best
The guy she tells you not to worry about will put you in therapy😂
In Italy Coke is made with sugar...
When I moved to the U.S. Coke became a refreshing laxative...
We did that same comparison a while ago but we did it blind. The Mexican version won every time.
Yes I 💯% agree especially with that natural cane sugar it's amazing. Now they are available at some Mexican supermarkets now to purchase.👍 Delicious. And it always in that original classic glass bottle wish makes it more authentic.
There is no difference between them they both taste the same
@@brandonhiday4227they 100% do not he’s actually right. Mexicos is way better
I believe it uses sugar, but not pure cane sugar. It still lists HFCS and sugar as an ingredient.
I believe that it's not just sugar vs corn syrup, or variations of mix. That it's also something to do with the bottle itself. That plastic bottles can impart a slight 'synthetic' tang to the drinks contained where as glass, doesn't.
I'm old enough to remember when all cokes came in were glass bottles. Even from vending machines. With those you had to be mindful of what size coke you were getting. Like if you dropped .35 cents for what you thought was a 12oz coke, but it turned out to be a 8 oz bottle. I seem to recall the near one liter bottles being priced about .75 cents to .85 cents.
Sure I understand that glass is heavier than plastic, and corn syrup is cheaper than actual sugar, but if I'm going to be dropping near $2 or more for a coke, just give it to me in a late 80's early 90's style screw top glass bottle. It'll taste so much better and be re-closable, until the actual pop top bottles.
Even water from a GLASS bottle tastes better than in plastic.
We can buy the Mexico glass version in California. Tastes like the 1960's in USA as a kid. 10 cents from the coke machine. Delicious then and now.

Glass has advantages over plastic. The plastic changes flavor
Dude, it's the sugars. That's the biggest difference.
Shirley, pls, he is drinking out of a glass. What you are saying would make sense if he drinks them out of the bottle, but he is not doing it.
And if you are saying that because the American coke got a different taste because was stored in a plastic bottle and that changed the flavor, then.... we would have far bigger problems than just taste, because you would be talking about chemical interaction, so, no. The plastic bottle has nothing to do, it's the HFC syrup crap you get in all american sweets that is the problem.
He even mentioned it.
100 percent plastic alters the taste of ANY liquid.

Right about that.
San Pellegrino in orange and lemon flavor are so good in glass but the canned ones are terrible lol
UK coke uses white sugar, ours is pretty great too. I've had mexican coke it just straight up is the best but ours slaps the USA's too
Another cool trick to try. Is Papa top on a Mexican Coke and put it back in the fridge. Pop the top on an American Coke. Put it in the fridge. Come back a day later. You'll find out the American Coke will be as flat as Kristen Stewart. The Mexican Coke will still be nice and stacked like Salma Hayek. 😁
Agree. Cane sugar makes all the difference.
I get the Mexican soda, not just Coke from Amazon. I grew up in the 70's drinking soda with sugar from glass bottles. It's just like it was in 72'. It's a little heavier on return day, but that's okay!
In 1986 I was in Cancun Mexico and had a coke from a little grass hut stand near the ferry to Cozumel. It was hot and the coke was partly frozen. It was the best coke drink I ever had.
