I've been looking for a reason to stand naked on top of my house and I've never been able to come up with a viable excuse to my wife. Now I have one!

I used to buy Mexican Coke that still uses real case sugar. It tastes so much better. I think there's a place in Texas that still bottles Dr. Pepper with real cane sugar too.

I would definitely try this Pepsi product. The kids love Jones soda and I surmise it's because of the cane sugar used.

I lived in Piedras Negras Mexico for a short period of time and I loved Coca Cola down there. I always wondered why it tasted so much better than the stuff in Eagle Pass Texas across the border.

Philippine Coke uses cane sugar too, that's why it always puzzled me that there was any competition between Coke and Pepsi, when Coke was so obviously better-tasting.

Then I came to the U.S., where Coke and Pepsi pretty much taste the same and understood.

Splint, that's Dublin Dr. Pepper and you can buy it online.

Has anyone had luck finding Passover Coke? It only comes once a year!

I still have a bottle left from last year. I always stock up and I'm going to be ready because Easter comes early this year.

Canada has stuck with the sugar instead of HFCS. Actually, most of our products (from the ones I've looked at), are still sugar. Go Canada for not following in the US's footsteps (for once).

but really that's comparable to having a cigar to having a cigarette isn't it?

maybe it's just in my circle of friends, but they always talk about how hfcs is so evil and they wish everything was pure cane.

still, a soda every day, or a couple, whatever, can't be good for you.

It's a lesser evil. Heck, 100% natural fruit juice is as bad as cola in terms of low-glycemic carbs and sweetener.

If you're going to cheat though, you might as well go for the good stuff. Cane sugar sodas taste good.

I can count the number of sodas I've had in the last year on one hand, but I've enjoyed every last one.

Wow, I am learning so much about sodas in here.

I tried a Mexican Pepsi back in the early 80's and quite liked it. Now I see why.
