If you are a big soda afficionado like me, then you know all about the awesomeness that is Mexican Coke. The reason for its awesomeness? Sugar. Unlike our Coke, Mexican Coke uses pure cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. This gives it a distinct and magical taste. While it's not something I would recommend for regular consumption, it is a very tasty treat. The only problem is it's a little hard to come by and it's sort of expensive. Folks in places like Southern California are at a bit of an advantage because many Mexican eateries offer it but sometimes charge up to $2.50 for a bottle. Anyways, the whole reason for this post is that I was in Target the other day browsing through their food aisles, which seem to have greatly increased as of late to compete with Wal-Mart, and found several bottles of Mexican Coke in the foreign food section, hiding next to the Jarritos drinks. They are $1.25 a bottle, which is cheaper than most places I've seen. I'm not sure if they are available in other locations or maybe it's just a regional thing, but it's worth a look. If you can't find Mexican Coke in your area, you can always order it online from the super awesome Soda Pop Stop.
