I wish Atlanta Coke would quit fighting to block this from the marketplace and make a cane sugar version available year around through their domestic bottlers

i think high fructose corn syrup is the devil incarnate and am willing to pay a premium for soda as a treat

costco currently has cases for around $18 in bottles - i'm going to pick up a couple - they taste much better and work nice as an occasional treat and not an all day swill

costco has real sugar coke?

:raccoon:

all sodas in other countries use real sugar instead of corn syrup and it tastes SOOO much better.

Just had an argument with my GM here. I want to see Mexican coke. We pay a buck a bottle, so itd have to be 4 bucks on the menu. I say why not. No one buys it? I drink it. Its WAY better...

Jarritos, BOING! all the Mexican sodas are better.

AWESOME.

I will grab some of that from C-co next time.

HFCS is indeed the devil.

What is it called exactly and what does the bottling look like? I tried to find it today at Walmart but didn't see it.

Diamond gas station sells it (individually, of course). Didnt know about Walmart or Costco though - might need to pick me up a case.

It definitely tastes much better and is worth the extra money. Plus, I freaking love soda/beer in bottles.

Uhm, this stuff is fantastic!

Picked it up from c-co. Just great. My mother in law just tasted it, not knowing it was any different than coke now and said, I quote "that tastes just like coke tasted when I was a little girl."

I saw a case of the stuff going for $17.99 at Safeway. Almost bought it, just can't justify the expense right now.

MESA! :thud:
I bought a case at cosco. Honestly, I don't taste much of a difference. My taste buds just aren't sophisticated enough.
I'm quite certain that I would find it just as disgusting as American Coca-Cola...
