![]() ![]() I doubt the official Mexican “real sugar” Coca Cola made for export is all made with HFCS, no doubt some of it is but not all. I doubt there’s much Mexican Coke made for export that even has cane sugar, most likely it’s a lot of beet sugar. Why is cane sugar/beet sugar not allowed in Mexican sodas for the Mexican market even if they are reduced calorie and contain artificial sweeteners? Most “real sugar” glass bottle versions of sodas tend to noticeably taste worse imo (mostly because of the less carbonation) if you’re able to get your mind out of the “ice cold glass bottle=yum” mentality which is definitely real, everything seems to taste better ice cold in a nice supple glass bottle according to most people lol. ![]() I understand some people just don’t like the less syrupy mouthfeel which I understand, but when people start going on about how “real sugar” is not even comparable to HFCS, that’s where I call it. Personally I actually prefer HFCS, always thought it was so stupid the whole demonizing HFCS culture, I don’t like the term “real” sugar neither, sugar is sugar. have been and are available for sale in Mexican supermarkets, yes of course with the warning labels required by law - indicating Excess Sugars, Excess Calories.īut don't believe everything you read here, just because an ignorant idiot makes up stuff, about something being illegal.īottom line, yes, whenever you visit Mexico, or if you are in the USA shopping for Mexican soda, be aware, that just because you see a Mexican soda, it does not necessarily mean it will always be made with real cane sugar. There is not any law prohibiting the sale of sodas with real sugar in Mexico, and thus, sodas imported from the USA, such as Pepsi Real Sugar, Mtn Dew Real Sugar, IBC, Boylan Bottling Co. Companies in Mexico are choosing not to make sodas with real sugar for the local market, not because of any law, but moving to the global trend which you can already see in Europe of moving towards artificial sweeteners. Thus Pepsi Mexico, makes a Pepsi with real sugar (in glass bottle) but exclusively for export to the USA, Coke Mexico, makes a Coke with real sugar but only for export to the USA. I recently wanted an apple soda, and I just couldn't find a Mexican one for sale in Mexico, made with HFCS only.įew sodas made in Mexico for local consumption are made only with HFCS, now most have also Acesulfame K and sucralose.įor example Dr Pepper made in Mexico is sweetened only with HFCS, interestingly the Dr Pepper Light is sweetened not with aspartame (as the US DP Diet is) but with Acesulfame K and sucralose.Ĭontrary to what the idiot who says that it is illegal to make sugar sodas in Mexico, in real life there is not any law precluding a Mexican company from making a soda with real sugar. The idiot commenting that it is illegal to make real sugar sodas in Mexico, is a pathetic ignorant. How did the soda play with the tequila, salt, and lime? Naturally, our opinions varied, but 5 indicates perfect balance while 1 means you’re better off drinking the tequila straight rather than ever combining it with that soda.I live in Mexico, and can confirm that Mexican Coke for local consumption is sweetened with HFCS plus sucralose. Overall Paloma Balance: This was the most important category. Some of our favorites, like Jarritos and Squirt, tasted less like “real” grapefruit but had signature flavors that worked well in a Paloma. Grapefruit flavor: Does this soda taste like an actual, natural grapefruit? This category also wasn’t necessarily a deal-breaker. Sweetness was not necessarily good or bad, and we found that some of the sweeter sodas made for a more balanced Paloma, even if they were a bit too sugary on their own. ![]() ![]() Sweetness: We ranked these from dry (1) to sweet (5). We found that some fell particularly flat (1) and that others held onto their bubbles for an impressively long time (5). The majority of grapefruit sodas we tasted were a solid 3. Carbonation: For this measure, we were concerned less with the type of carbonation (small and fizzy versus large and bubbly) and more with the persistence of bubbles after repeat sippings. ![]()
