Are there any colas still manufactured with cane sugar?!


Question: I remember I used to enjoy Coke and Pepsi alot more when I was a boy in the mid 70's. I understand that a tremendous amount of manufactured food items switched to corn sugars in the late 80's, and this might account for me not liking junk foods as much as I used to. I'd love to try a cola which is still made with cane sugar, if one exists. I live in the New York metropolitan area, so finding specialty shops is not an issue.

Jones Soda is made with cane sugar. It is really good! You can get it almost anywhere.

I think they still use it in Mexico. I get coke in glass bottles here in Florida now and then from Mexico that has it in it.

I think some drop in Tempest Keep, Kael'Thas loves him some cane sugar cola.

In some places you can find Dr Pepper made with real cane sugar. They come in glass bottles and it is manufactured from the Dr Pepper plant in Dublin, Texas. It is quite delicious. I have seen other cola drinks made with real cane sugar but they are from smaller companies. Look for a store that sells drinks that aren't as commonly sold in grocery stores. I think I may have seen Dr Pepper with cane sugar be sold in 4 packs at Costco, but I am not 100% sure. They sell them here in Davis, CA at a magazine shop that also sells candy from other countries.

They have Coca-Cola from Mexico at Brookshire Bros., but you are in New York... I'm in Texas... They sell Dr. Pepper with cane sugar in it at Wal-Mart now, but New York has cleverly doubled its income by kicking Wal-Mart out as well... All I can tell you is if you ever come to Southeast, or perhaps any part of Texas, take a look around Wal-Mart or Brookshire Bros., and stock up. Anyhow, good luck. They taste immensely better than this junk that they have now...
