On the other hand, most -if not all- of tomato sauces in the UK are so acidic that Spaniards living in the UK are importing tomato sauce from Spain (as it has a bit of added sugar). It might be similar with actual Italians, so maybe this example is just that you're used to your way of having tomato sauce :)
- chosenbreed37 8y agoTrue. I understand that drinks manufactures adapt their products to suit different markets. The Fanta "Orange" I've seen in Europe seems paler and possibly less sweet compared to the ones in Africa. I wouldn't be surprised if Coke tasted slightly different depending on which part of the world you happen to be.
- VBprogrammer 8y agoI can vouch for that. My father used to bring a pack of Cokes back from Florida whenever we went growing up. Good old High Fructose Corn Syrup! Everything in America appeared to be shifted towards an extreme though. Fattier, bigger, saltier or sweeter than you'd find in much of Europe.
- TomMarius 8y agoCoke does taste differently - the ingredients are different even across Europe. I always look forward to visiting Germany because I always bring a 4-pack back.
- CloudNetworking 8y ago> Coke does taste differently It's usually cut down with things like chalk and aspirin when sold to final customers across Europe. Oh, you meant the other Coke. Nevermind :D
- theriddlr 8y agoUK Fanta contains orange juice and sweetener because of the sugar tax. Had international Fanta (possibly American or Arabic) on a Qatar Airways flight and it was bright orange with no real fruit, and most importantly, sweet and I felt satisfied after half a cup.
