Mexican Coke

In the United States of America, Mexican Coke (Spanish: Coca Cola de México) or, informally, "MexiCoke", refers to Coca-Cola produced in and imported from Mexico.

Although intended for consumption in Mexico, Mexican Coke has become popular in the United States because of a flavor that fans call "a lot more natural tasting". While many believe the primary difference in flavor between Mexican Coke and the American Coca Cola recipe is that Mexican Coke is sweetened using cane sugar as opposed to high-fructose corn syrup, a scientific analysis of Mexican Coke found no sucrose (standard sugar) in its sample of Mexican Coke, but instead found fructose and glucose levels similar to other soft drinks sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup. Coca-Cola claims that Mexican Coke exported to the United States is made with cane sugar, while some bottlers may use high-fructose corn syrup for drinks intended for sale in Mexico. Therefore, while Coke labeled "Mexican" in the U.S. is made with cane sugar, not all Coke sold in Mexico is.
