68. Nope..it's only for export to the US

Coke sold in Mexico now has high fructose corn syrup. Some makes its way to the US.

if it’s in a glass bottle with Spanish writing with a more aggressive ‘Coke bottle’ shape but sans “Hencho” (these are popular in Hispanic grocers in CA and TX) then it’s Coke from Mexico made with HFCS.

The sticker on this version of Mexican Coke lists both sugar and high fructose corn syrup as the sweeteners.As for the Mexican version blended with sugar and high fructose corn syrup, it ranked just a hair above the sucralose-sweetened Coke. It wasn't quite as off-putting but definitely didn't have the fizzy swagger of either the U.S. or cane sugar Mexican Cokes.

Depends on where you buy them. Mexico has 3 bigger bottlers and a few smaller ones:

BEPENSA, that got the Yucatan Peninsula, works with corn syrup.

FEMSA, who got from Tabasco to Mexico Valley, and Tamaulipas, uses corn syrup with some substitutes to reduce the caloric content.

Arca Continental, that got the northern side of Mexico works with both corn syrup, and cane sugar right next to the US to catch some sales across the border.

You wouldn't find any cane sugar coke inside the country.

“Mexican coke” aka Coke made in Mexico switched to HFCS long ago. It’s cheaper and more accessible. Which makes it a wise business decision.

“Mexican Coke” the BRAND of Coke exclusively made in Mexico to be sold in the US is still cane sugar. You can find this at some groceries in the US (with cases being sold at most CA grocers) a ton of Mexican restaurants, and if you’re lucky in cases at Home Depot, Costco or Sam’s Club.

How do you tell the difference? The latter comes in a glass bottle and is clearly labeled “Hencho en Mexico” and a white label to fulfill American laws/guidelines affixed to it if you buy it at a grocery store and not a restaurant.

If it’s glass bottle with English writing on it, it’s probably some nostalgic B.S. I have neighbors who think their mini glass American bottles are Mexican coke and don’t have it in my heart to correct them.
