Is there anywhere in the U.S. where I can get Coca-Cola (Coke) made with real sugar (NOT corn syrup)?

Question

The ingredients list used to say sugar and/or corn syrup, but now it just says corn syrup.

Answer 1

Try a Jewish supermarket. The for-passover varieties don't have corn syrup.

Or -- do you live near Mexico? Apparently the Mexican stuff is made with sugar, too.

Answer 2

Probably not. Corn syrup is such a cheap sweetner and it takes so little to sweeten so much that all the manufacturers have switched to it. Look at the labels on a lot of the common foods we eat and you will see it's actually one of the first few ingredients. It's causing epidemic weight and diabetes problems.
I have finally just switched to diet soda to avoid the corn syrup thing.
If you just want a nice soft drink with sugar, switch to Kool-Aid that lets you add your own sugar.
Even Sports drinks have corn syrup!

Answer 3

US Coca-Cola has been corn syrup only since they returned Coca-Cola Classic in 1986.

While years ago US kosher-for-passover Coca-Cola had sugar in it, it's now HFCS only in most bottling districts. Even if it wasn't, it was only available during the springtime.

A better bet is Latino grocery stores that illegally re-import Mexican Coca-Cola: look for the "Hecho in Mexico" stamp on the bottom of the bottle.

Pop the Soda Shop, in Scottsdale, Ariz, offers Coca-Cola with sugar, presumably from Mexican importers.

Answer 4

No, the Coca-Cola Formula is only sold with the high-fructose corn syrup added to it, even in fountain machines, plus this would alter the flavor of coca cola, and you might as well try a natural brand of cola. they even have organic colas out now, give a couple of them a try. (I like Coca-Cola the best though)

Answer 5

I doubt it--we are in a corn syrup epidemic--and lots of folks are allergic to it and don't know it

Answer 6

I think the cokes in the glass bottles in Wal-Mart are like that.
