>Experts will dispute this, but I swear Coke (the drink!) and chocolate tastes better everywhere else in the world. In part because they use real sugar and not corn syrup. Of course it does. Everyone knows this. There is a reason people pay extra for Coca Cola imported from Mexico (you can get it in the grocery store in South Texas). Same thing for Dublin Dr. Pepper vs Dr. Pepper.

  This is a really wordy article to express very simple ideas. The author is trying hard to dismiss those of us who prefer the non-corn-syrup taste, but I don't think they've succeeded here. At best they've shown some combination of: * It's a minority of people who prefer the non-corn-syrup taste. * Some people prefer glass bottles. * Most people aren't that conscious of the difference. As to this suggestion to Coca-Cola: > Bottle American HFCS-sweetened Coke in Mexican Coke bottles, and just tell everyone it comes from Mexico. They do sell corn syrup coke in single-serving glass bottles at some places. I have sometimes bought them mistakenly thinking it was the Mexican one. When this happens I taste the difference and don't like it. Corn syrupy beverages just taste unpleasant to me. It took me a while to realize this, but once I did I found I can consciously discern the taste of corn syrup. I have the same objection with bottled sweetened tea, for example. Some brands have corn syrup and some brands have sugar. I tend to like the latter and dislike the former. This has happened to me even when I wasn't aware of the ingredients.
