Envase Exclusivo PARA Refresco - The Coca Cola Company Hecho en Mexico
The wording on these bottles is all in Spanish - some have a paper label listing ingredients, some have No ingredients listed and say to go to Coca-Cola.com.mx
Corbonated water, cane sugar, caramel color, phosphoric acid, natural flavors, caffene
I live outside of a small town of 900 people in the middle of NM - which actually has a three block downtown, I can buy Mexican coke at our grocery store, either of our two dollar stores or drive 40 miles to Walmart & buy it there.
If you look at the labeling on the mini coke glass bottles in six packs - it lists corn syrup as the second ingredient. I never buy these.
Coca-Cola that is hecho en México (made in Mexico) contains cane sugar rather than high-fructose corn syrup, the current whipping boy of the food world. Hipsters and the trendy restaurants they patronize have known about Mexican Coke for some time now, and bodegas in Los Angeles have stocked it to appeal to their Mexican-American customers. But in recent years, Mexican Coke has been appearing in the wide aisles of Costco, signaling a broader interest.

I wonder if this will be similar to the "saccharin causes cancer" scare from the 70's.
