The REAL, real thing.

It’s a little known fact, but the Coca Cola we drink in the United States is an imposter. It’s not the Coca-Cola of our childhoods, but a sad corporate compromise. It’s an exercise in corporate cost cutting, which we’ve all accepted, blindly, after the famous “New Coke Conspiracy“.

Coca-Cola is an American Institution. It’s as American as apple pie, diabetes and morbid obesity. To change it seems blasphemous, but I can tell you, we’re one of the few countries that has accepted this doppelganger into our homes.

In the US, Coca cola is made with corn syrup (HFCS) instead of real sugar, to save a few pennies. In Europe, Mexico and even in India, Coke is still made with pure, expensive, fat-producing sugar, which makes drinking a Coke a real pleasure. It would be perfect if we could just get them to use ice.
