Mexican Coke

I get strange looks when I specify Mexican Coke while ordering at taquerias. The gawkers don’t get the difference, but the important distinction is SUGAR.

While domestic Coca-Cola is sweetened with high fructose corn syrup, the south-of-the-border cola is made with pure cane sugar, which tastes better and is better for you, despite what is sort of implied in the following commercial.

Seriously, watch the video. Do they ever say one GOOD thing about corn syrup, or do they just give smug looks in response to the implication that it is bad for you and ignore the actual health implications. I also love that they need to include the phrase in moderation.
