    Mexican coke tastes better because it uses slightly less sweetener and twice the amount of sodium. There’s a YouTube video by chemist George Zaidan that did a chemistry deep dive on the topic. The acidity of coke breaks down the cane sugar (sucrose) into fructose and glucose (which is the composition of HFCS). There is no difference in flavor between cane sugar and HFCS in acidic beverages, but there are often other differences in the recipes that improve taste. Most notably sodium content.

    Now I’m not saying that the em dash means it’s LLM or at least not him, but I am saying I doubt he knows about it. The spacing is wrong, though, so maybe it is his work.

    Also Trump: I’m putting a 50% tariff on imports from the country that makes the majority of the world’s cane sugar (Brazil) because I’m angry that they’re punishing their fascist that attempted a coup.

      I’m sure the CEO got a call from the Whitehouse and had a brief, rambly word salad vomited at them over the phone, and replied diplomatically along the lines of “we will absolutely investigate that as a possibility” in much the same way you placate someone elses precocious child

    Mexican coke (made in Mexico coke) is made with HFCS and sucralose.

    There’s is a federal tax on high caloric dense foods; and that’s how Coca-Cola avoided it.

    Looks like somebody’s been buying up stakes in sugar cane production. Didn’t they used to produce sugarcane on Epstein’s Island?
