As a result of that bottles of Coke with real sugar in it get a price premium and even if they might taste the same (depending on who you ask). People are willing to pay more for it because they "know" it is the "good stuff". Even if they don't really care there is something to ask people if they want a coke and then causally insert you have code with real sugar in it which makes it suddenly much better. What is rare is sought after.
- jcnnghm 16y agoI really do believe that the Mexican Coke is a large contributing factor. I can taste a substantial difference between the two, and have gone out of my way to avoid corn syrup since.
- X-Istence 16y agoThere is a big difference in taste when it comes to Coca-Cola sweetened with real sugar and high fructose corn syrup. I much prefer the taste of soda with real sugar over HFCS, so when Pepsi did their throwback I bought it by the case, when I can find Mexican coke (Costco has it generally) I will buy entire cases. To me it is not so much about the perceived health benefits of one over the other, but rather the taste.
