Mexican Coca Cola?

[Mitch]

You can get Coke in the US with cane sugar ONCE per year. It's kosher for passover and will show up in Kosher Markets around March to April this year. Yes it tasts better than the regular mix.

Hmmm, time to do a little local research then. Thanks Mitch!

Moro, no worries, I was told by cousin to use the MC as a mixer but I normally drink those Rums neat. So so good!!!

Actually, I can buy the Mexican Coke with cane sugar any time from any number of local stores. Hell, even Central Market (a high end "organic" grocery store) sells it.

yea i havent had the sugar cane coke, but Cheerwine makes glass bottles with the old school sugar cane style, yes it is far superior

Well... once in a while i do have Coca Cola down here and when i go up to my grandmas house and have coke there... the taste isn´t right.

I agree 100% that our coke is a lot better. :thumbsup:

Mexican Coke with cane sugar is soooooo much better that the regular stuff.

Oddly enough, there is a grocery store here that stocks it. I found it accidentally one day when shopping behind some other Mexican sodas. I asked about it later and was told they only get one case of the bottles at a time, weird.

I've got 8 in the fridge right now. :clap:

 

[Volusianator]

Is it always bottles, no cans?

 

[Moro]

Over there, I think so; but if ye want cans...let me know

So its my understanding that cane sugar is sucrose... sucrose is nothing more than glucose and fructose which your body eaily breaks apart to produce those two molecules to transport across the intestines and into circulation. Splenda is mostly dexrose which is the R-Isomer of glucose (meaning it cant be absorbed by the body) thus you get the sweet taste without the caloric intake and the extra fructose which if I recal correctly will actually produce twice as much energy in your body. Id have to look it all up, but thats what I was thinking.

You've got it mostly right, but the dextrose is just a stabilizing agent/bulk material (sucralose is incredibly sweet and there is only about 1.3mg in it in a packet). The sweetness that you get from splenda is almost entirely from the sucralose, which is basically sucrose with three of the hydroxyl groups replaced with chlorine atoms.

Dextrose *is* metabolized by the body, btw. It's l-glucose which can't be.

They sell it here at Smart & Final. Our B&M has it.

I'd love to try it...so I'm gonna have to keep my eyes peeled when I'm out and about.

If you like Dr. Pepper, you can get the cane sugar variety from http://www.dublindrpepper.com/. It's supposed to be very good.

Is it just Mexico that uses cane sugar?

Pretty much everwhere except the US. I think it's because corn is heavily subsidized here and there are large tariffs on imported sugar, so high-fructose corn syrup is much cheaper than sugar.

yea Asher is right. leave it to america to take corn and make some sort of sweet unhealthy thing out of it

 

[indyrob]

Any good mercado will have it...I know mine does! It also has La Llave & Bustelo at cheaper prices than the big grocery stores.

 

[Swampfox21]

also check old school maw and paw stores. a small general store/ gas station on the edge of the national forest here sells old school RC cola, Sundrop, Cheerwine etc ( all of which are made from cane sugar)
