I agree with this in Mexico coke is cheaper than water at an average 10 cents per liter. Though their Chinese EV tariff plan is going to negate any real health benefits since their local market doesn't produce EVs in enough volume.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

What do Chinese EVs have to do with their health?
I don't know where or how are you buying your stuff but a 3L coca cola is between 40-50 pesos while a 20L purified water costs about 20, more from the big brands but it's still 17 more liters
Oh i thought it was stupid cheep
I'm happy seeing a country actively trying to help it's citizens.
First they decreased poverty through a series of measures - https://apnews.com/article/poverty-mexico-president-andres-manuel-lopez-obrador-social-welfare-c7ec7f184ce8163e84fffa1b9f47aed8
Decreasing sugar intake will reduce obesity and diabetes.
I know Mexico still has major issues.
About time. Have you had a Jarritos? Shits like 50% sugar.
Is it 50% sugar, or does a serving contain 50% the daily recommended value of sugar?
I sell jarritos at work, all 3 flavours we have say approx 10% sugar (guava, mandarin and lime)
But if Mexico stops making Mexican Coke, where will I get decent Coke in America? 😩
Try Colombian Coke
You can still buy them, you'll just pay more.
I can get sugar free Coke without importing it. The reason to import regular, sugar added Coke is because they use cane sugar; we use HFCS.
They can take my horchata and tamarindo from my cold dead hands.
High fructose corn syrup.... They are putting that on anything that goes into your mouth.
They are putting that on anything that goes into your mouth.
Arguably one of the least healthy drinks known to man, but unless they call corn-syrup some other fancy word I don’t think Rockstar energy drinks fall under this category?
Oh hey, more propaganda and Lemmy users swallowing it whole.
No wonder populists always use the leftist flag.
Actual populists rarely call themselves populists, you got that right at least. Mainly because a good chunk of people they pander to aren't bright enough to understand the term "populist".
But the ones I can think of are all firmly right wing. Trump. Orbán. Farage. And not one of them is, or would call themselves "leftist".
There was one guy back in the late 1930s who tried that and it didn't go well for him, and I suspect that makes them nervous.
But then, you probably think that guy actually was a socialist.
I don't know who drinks this shit. Just have some wine.
