Our local Sam's Club has this and it's great with Gentleman Jack. :xyxthumbs: They sometimes have the orange drink also.

Hi Bill.
Use to be an excellent mixer back in those darker days.
Haven't had one in a few years now.

It's so much better. I discovered the difference while living in Brazil for a few months. No weird syrupy after taste. I'm thirsty! Im the MAN

I also noticed it doesn't quite pack the sting that "normal" Coka-Cola today has. I like both over ice, but I only prefer one straight out the ice-cold bottle and that is the Mexican Coca-Cola.
I seen some Mt. Dew just the other day with sugar, not corn syrup, and in a glass bottle. If I could only recall where I seen it I'd be set. Haven't had a Dew like that since I was a kid.
You gotta try it Setec...if won't dissappoint, I promise.

A certain age?
Uh oh.
For what it's worth, some cola companies in the states created a line made with regular sugar instead of HFCS.
Might be worth finding to avoid paying the extra price to travel to mexico?

I've had both of these, but can't find them in a glass bottle...and it makes all the difference in the world.

Mexican Coca Cola is the formula used before the US bottling companies switched to the current formula using high fructose corn syrup. It uses pure cane sugar like the original recipe and comes in a glass bottle. The formula changed in this country after New Coke was retired and Coke Classic was released.
I have even seen the Mexican Coke bottles at Publix recently.

Meghan I do believe that is the Coke that is from Mexico.
But not all coke in glass bottles is the type imported from Mexico, but most is.
It will show on the bottle where it is made and the ingredients should list cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup.
The made with sugar version is definitely better for you and in my opinion tastes much better!

I got it, thanks. I do believe the Coke back in the day was much better, do you remember about 30 years ago they pulled the "we are changing the formula" bit, I think it went clear.

Coke still uses and recycles glass bottles in Brazil, mostly at restaurants and bars. You'll see the big flat bed trucks driving around with thousands of empty bottles in the old school wooden crates. You won't find diet coke in brazil either. Just the regular coke (with cane sugar), which you can buy in plastic bottles and cans as well, and coke zero. Fanta is very popular there and uses cane sugar as well. Man, it is so much better!
