TLDR; Mexican Coke is sweetened with sugarcane, but the acid in the soda splits sucrose into glucose and fructose. So you basically end up with a drink that has similar chemical sweeteners to high fructose corn syrup.
Also, Mexican coke probably tastes better because it as a shit of glucose and fructose, not because you’re tasting sucrose.
It makes me wonder if Coke is desperately inventing some kind of chemical stabilizer that’ll usher in a whole new health problem.
Yeah, I bet that the glass works for some folks. My friends and I played with some blind tastes test, and some people couldn’t tell the difference, and other could tell 100% of the time with ease.
My guess is that the taste difference is due to the fact that Mexican Coke has so much glucose that it easily throws a OTC glucose monitor into an overload error state.
I’ve definitely experienced this. Not so much with coke, which I don’t care much for either way, but lemonade. Lemonade out of a glass bottle is top tier, followed by the post-mix syrup served at bars. Out of a can though is just not as nice. I don’t care if there’s no rational reason for that to be the case (the post-mix at least might be a different recipe, but Sprite in a glass is surely the same as Sprite in a can).
“Even Johnny Harris” is not adding anything. Do people think Johnny Harris is an authority on truth or something?
