I enjoyed a Mexican Coke yesterday

[KitchenWitch]

:woohoo:

Love Coke bottled in Mexico - no HFCS!

[Parche]

1. Fajita flavored?

:shrug: :hi:

[KitchenWitch]

2. Nope, but I had two asada tacos on the side!

:9

3. I love Mexican Coke!

I find them in the Hispanic Food section of one of my local markets on occasion.

The difference in taste is amazing.

[KitchenWitch]

4. I got mine at a Mexican bodega.

I suppose I could have Mexican coke fairly often, since I live in SoCal, but I like it as an occasional treat.

[driver8]

5. I live in So Cal but have not had a Mexican Coke...what do they taste like?

I am going to have to try one!!

[KitchenWitch]

7. Like regular US coke, only crisper.

:9

It is hard to explain. But it is better than the Coke with HFCS in it.

[alphafemale]

9. It tastes like Cokes used to taste! It actually haz Flavah!

You can actually detect hints of cinnamon and vanilla instead of just over powering syrupy taste.

[driver8]

10. I love the way Cokes used to taste...I'll have to try one.

I gave up drinking sodas as a New Year's resolution but I've got to try this Coke!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

20. Smooth aftertaste, no syrupy flavor.

Much better.

34. They taste like the Cokes of your youth

Not sickeningly sweet, but pleasantly spicy.

They sell these in grocery stores all over in New Mexico. I used to keep a couple of bottles on hand for special occasions. They're head-and-tails above regular U.S. Cokes.

[quip]

6. Was it served at about 70 degrees?

It has always been my experience that foreign pop is never cold enough. And I am too paranoid to use ice cubes, so feh. :hi: :toast:

[KitchenWitch]

8. It was fresh out of the refridgerator in a glass bottle!

:9

[quip]

12. Excellent. Glass bottled pop always taste better

Do they add extra syrup to the mix or something? :thumbsup:

[DarkTirade]

26. They use actual cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup.

That's the only difference as far as I know. :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. My dear KitchenWitch!

Ah, sweetie!

I tried to reach you yesterday!

Did you get my message?

I wondered where you were!

I'll bet your Coke was delish!

:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

13. I've had it in France

Sooooo much better. :thumbsup:

[1gobluedem]

14. I love it too

We have a gourmet store here that sells it.

[midlife_mo_Jo]

15. I found one in the "fridge" at the counter of Target a while back

I savored ever swallow!

Real sugar.

In a bottle.

Yummy!

[MrCoffee]

16. FYI, Jones has a cola that's made without HFCS

They had to invent it to get the Qwest Field vendor contract. It's pretty good, plus, all the cans have a picture of Lofa Tatupu on them, so you get to sip soda from his decapitated skull.

[Mojambo]

23. I did not like it at ALL

But I like all their other offerings.

[Kucinich4America]

28. Jones Cola's not that good

But their green apple soda is the shit! I thought their root beer and cream soda were pretty well done also, though I'm not a big cream soda fan.

As for Mexi-Coke, it's great, but unfortunately pricey. If you live in a metropolitan area with a large Jewish population, look for "Kosher Coke" around Passover time. Unfortunately, it's in plastic bottles like all Coke products in the US, but at least it is sweetened with cane sugar, and not high fructose corn poison. Tragically, it's only made in limited quantities, and as I said, distributed in areas with a significant Jewish population. Which lets out my one synagogue town, apparently. :(

[Fox Mulder]

17. That's the only Coke I'll drink.

I love it.

[applegrove]

18. I know I don't like coke as much as I did as a kid. Must be that they

switched to HFCS from sugar. I think I heard that before. Send me one - will ya?

[EstimatedProphet]

19. I like Jarritos Limon

Their version of Mountain Dew rocks!

[SPKrazy]

21. no HFCS cool

is it like priced higher?

I've got some Mexican grocery stores around here.

I don't need to drink Coke anyway, but a real coke made with real sugar might be a treat for once in a while :9

[lost-in-nj]

22. I have a bottle (empty) of Coke

in my room

From Mexico.....


we went to Tiajuana and saw them brush the flys off the meat on the outdoor carts..
and decided we will only have drinks that were sealed.!!!!


LOL


lost


yuch

we didn't eat there.
we ate when we got back to San Diego!!!!

[ronnykmarshall]

24. They are SO good!

I love the mexican sodas too.

[knitter4democracy]

25. MexiCoke rulz! So does MexiPepsi.

It's the same recipe as when I was a kid. Mmmmmm!

[allalone]

27. it's so good

made like the olden days with sugar instead of artificial stuff. I can't find any here anymore,
PNW. maybe in summer again, I hope.

[conscious evolution]

29. My sister gave me a case for christmas.

YummyYummyYummy

I am convinced the whole new coke-old coke fiasco was a fabrication to distract people from noticing the switch to HFCS from cane sugar.

[texanwitch]

30. I have one once a week.

Taste just like the old Coke.

Glass bottles are the best.

Anyone remember in the old days the bottles had a deposit on them.

That was easy an way for a kid to pick a little pocket money, just look for soft drink bottles.

[KitchenWitch]

31. Essentially, all beverege contatiners in CA have deposit

Only you do not take the bottles back to the store to get the money back. Once a month I take our bottles and cans to the recycling center to get my money back.

[texanwitch]

32. Wish we had that here.

The streets would look better.

[KitchenWitch]

33. You would be surprised

I see cans and bottles all over the roadsides here.

[NashVegas]

35. I Like Jarritos

The soda they serve in my fave Mex restaurant.
