Coca-Cola’s move comes a week after the White House issued a statement by President Trump saying he had been talking to the soft drink giant about using cane sugar rather than high-fructose corn syrup in its signature drink.
Corn Refiners Association President and CEO John Bode predicts that an increase in using U.S. cane sugar will lead to a rise in foreign cane sugar imports.
Bode said in a statement to NPR, “Replacing high fructose corn syrup with cane sugar would cost thousands of American food manufacturing jobs, depress farm income, and expand the trade deficit.”
So will we have to call it Mexican-American Coke?
Canadian coke is also sugar based so really you can just call it “modern coke”
Gonna be super fun with all y’all’s tarrifs tho
But I think it was originally sugar and they switched to HFCS because corn subsidies.
If so, then this is old coke.
Old-New Coke

Omg is that why I’ve never tasted the difference? Like, I can taste the difference from a glass bottle obviously, but I’ve never noticed anything different in coke when I go down to Mexico.
“The Coke of America,” naturally.
