If you have had coke with real sugar, do you prefer that, or the corn syrup version?

It wasn’t until a few months ago that I found out the coke with real sugar in the USA is available at a lot of taquerias, because it’s imported from Mexico. The coke in most of the world outside the USA is made this way, but the coke in the US is made with corn syrup. I much prefer the coke with the real sugar since I started drinking it and can’t stand the coke with corn syrup anymore.

Do you find there is a difference in the taste of coke when it has real sugar, or do you not?

Answer #1

Real sugar…I was really happy when they introduced Pepsi Throwback a few months ago - made the way it was originally…but my elation was temporary as Pepsi Throwback is no longer sold in any stores here.

Answer #2

There is a slight difference to me in the taste but I would do it because sugar is more natural. I have actually only tried the Mt Dew but Coke couldn’t be too far off.

Answer #3

We have the throwbacks and they are the only ones that come in the old style glass bottles.

Answer #4

I prefer coke with the pure cane sugar however I prefer the pepsi with the corn syrup. lol The coke with pure cane sugar has a completely different taste to me. Coke with corn syrup is just very harsh but when it contains pure cane sugar the flavors seem to blend together better. It also seems sweeter than its corn syrup counterpart which I don’t quite understand.

Answer #5

I agree about the Pepsi, I haven’t had a chance to try the coke with real sugar, but I do prefer the real sugar as it has a better taste and it doesn’t have such a thick taste as the regular

Answer #6

yes i like the real sugar much better, the taste has more of a ‘bite’ to it than with the corn syrup. i like the pepsi throwback as well. the one soda i didn’t like with the real sugar was dr pepper- it just was too much of a different taste for me.

Answer #7

I don’t like the real sugar… Maybe cuz I’m more used to drinking it with corn syrup

Answer #8

Corn syrup… I guess I’m just used to it

Answer #9

I prefer Coke made with sugar too.

Hopefully the folks at Coca-Cola are taking this impromptu poll into consideration.
