There's something indescribable about why American Coke tastes so good. You could chalk it up to the perfect amount of carbonation or its syrupy levels of sweetness
But, every once in a while, if you're in luck at a store or restaurant, you might spot that special glass bottle
the iconic Mexican Coke. If you've tasted Mexican Coke, then you know there's something distinctly elite about its flavor.
But is there really a difference between Mexican and American Coke? Or is it just that cool, vintage glass bottle playing tricks on you

Mexican Coke contains cane sugar while Coke produced in the U.S. began using high-fructose corn syrup instead of cane sugar in 1980.

Beyond the type of sugar in the ingredient list, there are other slight variations between American and Mexican Coke that could factor into taste.
