I just had a Mexican coke for the first time. I'm not a soda drinker, but for the longest time I've heard how good this stuff is supposed to be. I thought this would suddenly make me understand the appeal of soda. It tastes exactly like coke from the can. Is this really as good as it gets?
If you don't ALREADY like soda, why would this soda magically make you like soda?Mexican coke tastes great for people who like coke, but are used to regular coke or mcdonalds coke.
>>21921157There are foods I used to hate because I'd only been eating cheap shitty versions, but when I finally had it prepared correctly using proper ingredients I learned to enjoy it. Fish and ham being two examples. I thought this would change my opinion on coke.
It's a sugary junk food just like all of the other sugary junk foods. The only difference here is it's made differently and you wouldn't notice unless you were already consuming one recipe in copious amounts.
>>21921155Yes. You have come to realize through experience that most people are full of shit. The only difference between American and Mexican coca cola is the glass bottle.
Agreed, the first time I had Mexican coke I was completely underwhelmed. I think it receives exaggerated praise from soda junkies.
>>21921168The flavor difference from Mexican coke doesn't come from the liquid, it comes from removing the aluminum flavor from a can. It's a subtle difference, so if you already don't like coke it's not going to push the needle for you.If you are interested in colas, look into craft colas. Your issue with coke is probably that it is overly sweet - craft companies usually dial down the sugar and focus more on the citrus and warm spice flavor notes. But I'm still not sure you'll like it. Coca Cola is notable among major cola brands as actually having noticable flavor notes beyond sugar and carbonation (next time you drink coke think of orange and allspice, you'll notice it in the flavor). It's why good cocktail bars often just use coke for drinks that call for cola instead of a higher end alternative. It is genuinely a good product. So if you did pick up on those notes and you still don't like it, cola probably just isn't for you at all.Iyoshi Cola from Japan is a personal favorite of mine, it has a nice herbaceous note to it.
Mexico switched over from pure cane sugar to HFCS a few years ago. It’s the same frankendrink chemical cocktail as the US now.I think the yellow cap jew coke is still real sugar though.
>>21921289>Mexico switched over from pure cane sugar to HFCSWhy lie?
>>21921155Sodas with HFCS leave a syrupy film in the corners of your mouth while cane sugar ones don’t, in my experience.
>>21921304Hmm maybe it was Sprite. My mistake.
it was prbably kook off cocacola, made in Edomex. The real coke you have to get it straight from Femsa
>>21921155>It tastes exactly like coke from the cantastelet detected.
>>21921155HFC is twice as sweet (and twice the metabolic load on your liver et. al.), and GMO/pesticide bonus. When it ices down, the fruit notes open up, whereas the cornslop garbage sweetened dogshit remains so sweet, it hardly tastes any different apart from overwhelming excess 'sugar'. Mexi-Bepis is the better of the two.
>>21921233>The flavor difference from Mexican coke doesn't come from the liquid, it comes from removing the aluminum flavor from a can.You can get bottles of non-mexican coke...The primary appeal is the Mexican coke uses cane sugar instead of HFCS and that appeals to the type of people that care about that stuff.
>>21921891>HFC is twice as sweet (and twice the metabolic load on your liver et. al.)Incorrect. HFCS has about the same ratio of fructose to glucose as cane sugar. It's not any sweeter nor unhealthy for you compared to cane.There is a slightly different flavor profile since the It's two sugars in solution rather than a crystalline solid from the two sugars bound together. But that's not "sweeter" it's just more "syrupy."
>>21921183False, they use cane sugar, American Coke uses corn syrup. Not everyone can taste the difference between them though
>>21921898There is no discernable flavor or texture difference between hfcs and cane sugar syrup. The difference in flavor perception is just the container - most people in the US only drink coke from a glass bottle when it's branded as Mexican coke, so they associate the subtly "cleaner" taste with cane syrup due to media hysteria over corn syrup in the US.
>>21921357You lied on purpose and got caught out
>>21922336I can only apologize so many times!
