    Why the hell did they go with India as the example? Americans are way more likely to be familiar with Mexican coca-cola that’s made with sugar than Indian coca-cola. Hell, on the east coast we get Kosher for Passover coca-cola with cane sugar.

        Oh you’re right, my brain saw the style and mistook the FP for FB and thought it was a Forbes article.

      Mexican coke mostly uses corn syrup now, right? Like the “Mexican coke” they sell in US grocery stores has cane sugar but the domestic Mexican stuff usually doesn’t

        It must vary by region or store. The Mexican Coke at my local is all sugar.

      Who the fuck decided that high fructose corn syrup was not KfP?

      Or is it a product of a fermentation process that takes more than a few hours?
