Why does soda from other countries taste better than American bottled soda?!


Question:

Why does soda from other countries taste better than American bottled soda?

Have you ever had a glass bottled Coke from Mexico? How about a Fanta? They have more flavor and less sugary taste. Why is that?


Answers:
Because they use sugar. Soda in the U.S. uses high fructose corn syrup because it's cheaper than sugar.

Probably because most foreign countries use real sugar in their sodas and we use artificial sweeteners.

The United States has a fascination with corn syrup. Most other countries use plain sugar. The corn syrup gives the pop a "syrupy" flavor where as the sugar doesn't. I noticed this when I was diagnosed with a corn allergy and after several years of avoiding it, I tried a regular pop and almost gagged it was so syrupy.

I was told that corn syrup is cheaper than sugar here in America because of poor relations with sugar growing countries like Cuba. I'm not sure how true this is, but it seems plausible.

u r so right. try to read the ingredients of cans and compare.
