    You don't have to guess!

    They're readily available at major retailers everywhere

    I suggest finding a place that sells the Pepsi made with real sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup

    Theyyyy taste the same. HFCS is just cheaper.

    no mexican coke tastes better I don't care if it's just a placebo effect or whatever I still feel a different mouthfeel

    They taste a bit different, but not a ton. Mouth feel is a little different, HFCS is stickier. But yeah it is not huge stuff.

    I used to love coke, there was a point where I drank one a day on average.

    Then I fell out of the habit, moving to Japan broke a lot of habits just via sheer upheaval.

    Last time I tried one it was just so sickeningly sweet that I put it down after a few sips, it's really amazing how much you get used to having or not having certain flavors.

    I cannot imagine someone living in America who hasn't tried a Coke once

    Like I get people who tried it and don't like it or stopped drinking it

    But an American adult who has never tried Coca-Cola is baffling to me

    I know a handful of Mormons who have never tried soda

    to be fair

    could not have chosen a finer mainstream root beer.

    Falsssssse

    I like both but given the choice will definitely take the sugar, it has a lighter taste to it, it's not as "syrupy"

    Nope

    I can tell the taste even without knowing which one it is

    My mom bought the real sugar Pepsi when I visited home once, got me a glass of it without
    me seeing the can and it had a slightly different taste

    it absolutely is not! I have done blind taste tests with myself and chosen the hfcs one every time. I went to england (where they use real sugar as well) and drinking dr. peppers there was a revelation, and I looked like an idiot because I said to my friend "what is the deal why does the coke even taste better over here"

    and he said "they use real sugar you idiot"

    I found out that there was actual science behind the fact that McDonald's Coke tastes better than other Coke and felt justified.

    Apparently they sell so much Coke that their syrup never has the chance to be anything other than fresh, and McDonald's has pretty stringent water purity standards, which are the two controllable factors someone could have over Coke.

    If you can't taste the difference between cane sugar and HFCS, your mouth is dead

    It's the 60 frames per second of soda

    if you want a crazy experience, and you hate Mountain Dew, try Mountain Dew Throwback, it is incredible.

    mountain dew is basically spit in a cup, but if you try the throwback one it is entirely different and actually great.

    Is there a similar thing with taco bell and mountain dew?

    The Coke museum in Atlanta has a 19th century style soda shop with an actual soda jerk that lets you mix the syrup and carbonated water perfectly.

    It is basically heaven.
