I think I really like that. I had an interesting conversation the with an oyster farmer about the variability in taste geographically in the northeast. And to me, honey is just honey. But apparently some folks can discern by taste which flower pollens comprise a batch. But then you drink a Coca Cola, which tastes exactly the same no matter where or when. It’s like it’s more of a chemistry experiment than a food.

A can of coke is the same everywhere. Fountain cola varies wildly since restaurants use different levels of carbonation, syrup and freshness. McDonalds fountain coke is the best.

  Well ackshully, It's getting popular in America to get "Mexican Coke" (which is bottled, not canned so your point can still stand) because it can use cane sugar instead of HFCS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_Coke https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_Coke

  Between countries, a can of Coca Cola varies[1], particularly in the amount of sugar[2], as well as the type (HFCS in the US, cane or beet sugar in most other places).

Actually, Coca Cola tastes differently according to the region you’re living in... They tweak the recipe based on country https://www.coca-cola.co.uk/faq/does-coca-cola-produce-the-same-drinks-in-every-country https://www.coca-cola.co.uk/faq/does-coca-cola-produce-the-s...

  Just inside of Europe the taste difference is super obvious. E.g. it's clearly sweeter in Sweden than Germany. That could just be a difference in carbonation though. Also, for the zero calorie drinks the sweeteners used vary.
