Mexican coke (made in Mexico coke) is made with HFCS and sucralose.
There's is a federal tax on high caloric dense foods; and that's how Coca-Cola avoided it.

Coca Cola US already makes a real sugar version that's kosher for Passover.

Sooooo, what's new here?
It's not widely stocked except around Passover, IIRC because it's more expensive. Because corn subsidies.
I don't like Coke, and I stopped drinking colas altogether years ago, so I'm not exactly current on shelve stocking. But that's my recollection.
I also don't drink soda, but I seemed to recall that a few years back Coca Cola did a limited release of the cane sugar version when they finally caught on to how popular Mexican Coca Cola was in the US.
But when looking for that, I found the regular annual stock of the same thing.
My guess would be another limited release, and when the average consumer balks at even the tiniest price difference, they knock this down to a trickle of a steady supply only to fit purely political/ideological demands. Keep a single bottling plant in Texas running cane supply 2 days a week, that kind of thing.
It's not limited. Coke in the USA sells a knock off version of Mexican coke. Same style of bottle, similar labeling, but the bottle won't be all fucked from recycling.
If your "Mexican" coke bottle isn't beat to shit and you're in the USA, odds are you're drinking the American version.
Oooooooh! A deception!
Yeah. Back when sugar-Coke was a thing (it was going around in popular media about "better" Coke being available around Passover) we searched around and found some and tried it. I couldn't tell a difference, but that's probably because I don't like Coke to begin with and hadn't tasted the corn-syrup version in decades so had nothing to compare it with. It was putting lipstick on a pig.
You're right that Coke-Cola's just going to fine ways to cut corners. My guess is that they'd start with sugar, but slowly start adding corn syrup back in in increasing amounts until it's back to mostly corn syrup and some token sugar.

What's new is copying the Mexican president. He heard "cane sugar" in a chocolate bar announcement. Then talked to Coke about something they're already doing.
Yeah, well just wait until he hears that cane farms are full of brown people. We'll be back to HFCS in a week.
Jfc
Finally, focusing on the important issues!
Broken clock moment.
Will maga care that he's literally taking business away from American farmers?
I was gonna say that. the reason everything has corn syrup in it is because the government subsidizes so much DAMN CORN we dont know what to do with it all
Chocolate bar in Mexico released with cane sugar a few days ago. Sigh...
So everyone needs to boycott coke and its subsidiaries now, got it.
For the title alone I upvote.
The Illuminati have already won, my friends. You're just watching a planned out future become history in real time. ;;)
remember to BSD anyways
