Is Mexican Coca-Cola better than regular Coke?
An American classic may be getting upstaged by its Mexican counterpart.
More places are starting to offer Mexican Coca-Cola. It is made with pure cane sugar, while here in the U.S., it is produced with corn syrup.
Sweetness Bake Shop in Miami has been selling Mexican Coke for about 10 months now, and exmployees say customers can't get enough of it.
"I mean, it's a more natural flavor," said manager, Jonathan Braswell. "People love it because it gives them a more natural taste."
Local 10 wondered if people could really tell the difference, so it set up a very unscientific experiment at the station. One cup was filled with regular Coke, and another cup was filled with Mexican Coke, and employees were asked which one they liked better and why.
In the end, the American version won, but by only 1 vote.
Mexican Coke is a little more expensive, which is why the company switched the corn syrup in the 1980s; sugar prices got too high.
