Some people swear by soda made south of the border


You're probably familiar with the flavor of the most popular soft drink in the world: Coca Cola. But few people insist a version of the soda that's hard to find around here tastes better than the rest.
Most Coke sell in the U.S. is sweetened with high fructose corn syrup, but bottlers in Mexico still use cane sugar. The majority of American bottlers switched away from cane sugar in the 1980s.
The Coca-Cola Company says there is no noticeable difference in taste between the two, while fans of Mexican Coke beg to differ. "I think it has a lot cleaner flavor,".
Additionally, Coke made with cane sugar is extensively available around Passover, and Pepsi recently launched a cane-sugar-only formula called Throwback Pepsi.
