    TLDR; Mexican Coke is sweetened with sugarcane, but the acid in the soda splits sucrose into glucose and fructose. So you basically end up with a drink that has similar chemical sweeteners to high fructose corn syrup.

    Also, Mexican coke probably tastes better because it as a shit of glucose and fructose, not because you’re tasting sucrose.

      I bet the glass bottle also has a subjective effect.

        Yeah, I bet that the glass works for some folks. My friends and I played with some blind tastes test, and some people couldn’t tell the difference, and other could tell 100% of the time with ease.

        My guess is that the taste difference is due to the fact that Mexican Coke has so much glucose that it easily throws a OTC glucose monitor into an overload error state.

          Diabetes is one of the top killers in Mexico, so that does track.

      It makes me wonder if Coke is desperately inventing some kind of chemical stabilizer that’ll usher in a whole new health problem.

        It’s just basic, easily reproducible, chemistry. Not some sort of conspiracy.

    “Even Johnny Harris” is not adding anything. Do people think Johnny Harris is an authority on truth or something?

      He finally made a good video with his Saudi one recently. He might actually be making good on his promise after his NATO hit piece fell flat
