Difference in Coke Taste
I know there’s a difference in taste between Coke produced in the U.S., and Mexico. The U.S. Coke bottlers use High Fructose Corn Syrup, and Mexican Coke bottles use Cane Sugar. But I’ve noticed that there are differences in taste depending in what type of package you purchase it in. As far as the U.S. bottled Cokes go, the best tasting Cokes come from aluminum cans, and McDonald’s soda fountains (McDonald’s being the best tasting out of the two). The worst tasting, for me, is Coke from the individual-sized plastic bottles. For some reason it just feels like it has a bit more syrup than the Coke found in other packages. It just tastes too damny syrup-y for me.
