American Coke is terrible

[SandEagle]

i just got back from Canada recently and yes coke without HFCS tastes much better.

you can lock the thread now

I could drink coke with real sugar all day long.

I really want to try vanilla and lime coke with real sugar. I cant imagine how much better they would be.

I actually didn't try Pepsi. I just assumed it was not HFCS since no one here talks about it.

that's because pepsi sucks

Dr. Pepper.

I heard stevia was just approved by the FDA, better days are ahead for coke/pepsi. 😉

Seriously? Cool..

 

[fustercluck]

Eh, Stevia will probably cause as many problems as aspartame/splenda.

Diet pepsi is 1000x better than diet coke. I will say that much. I liked diet cherry coke, but they don't sell it anywhere anymore. Pepsi one has been my drink of choice for a while.

Neither of which is proven to cause serious problems...

I tried some Diet Coke made with Splenda - it has a yellow stripe instead of a red one on the can - and it is WAY better than normal diet coke imho and really close to mexican coke in taste.

Wrong. I know at least 2 people who have adverse reactions to aspartame, mainly constant headaches.

FDA approves Stevia lol.

I agree with the Diet Pepsi. I can't stand dies Coke but love DPepsi.

You should also try Cherry Coke Zero (it is very good).

Is this new? Where do you live?

It's not new, NorCal (Bay Area) Costcos have been selling it for a while, or at least this year. Kinda pricey though. I think it's $18 or something.

The Dollar Stores in Vegas sell it by the bottle 2 for $1 in the original sexy I think 16oz glass bottle 🙂

Yea, our coke does suck.

I remember when I was in germany several years ago, coke tasted vastly different than what it does now.

But... I don't drink much soda anyway.

My high school bus driver was called Fat Pat. He was a fat, disgusting, slob of a man. Just thought you should know.

 

[theeedude]

It's a small price to pay to keep our sugar tariffs.

 

[yhelothar]

i've had both.. tastes about the same to me...
does going from HFCS to sugar really make it from good tasting to terrible? 😕

 

[KeithP]

There is place here in LA called Galcos where you can get the Mexican Coke as well as a lot of other hard to find sodas.

Yes. Real sugar coke almost has a burn to it (best I can describe) and tastes awesome. Coke with HFCS is best described as tasting flat. It tastes a lot like sugar Coke after sitting in the sun with the lid off for 12 hours

Nah... I'm not really fat. Just a nickname that stuck with me from my school days (where I was fat). I'm a little pudgy at the most now.

Actually, I find the foreign Coke and other products to taste a bit weaker than their American counterparts.
