Tried Sprite from mexico in the glass bottle today. Supposedly its made with "real" sugar. Whatever that means, lol. Tasted great though. Real smooth
I've never had Mexican Sprite, but Mexican Coke is good (albeit massively overpriced).
I have a sort of maxim with food/drink: there's very little in nature that is edible that is THAT color. I'm a big Pepsi fan, but that looks like a bag of chemicals to me.
When I was a kid, I was carpooling somewhere with a handful of other kids (probably a group of kids from my baseball team). Someone asked the driver what they were having for dinner, and I swear the answer was "something blue." We then tried to figure out what blue foods exist, and the only thing we could come up with were blueberries (which kinda aren't really blue).
But anyway, all soda has basically the same ingredients: carbonated water, sugar or some other sweetener, phosphoric and citric acid (flavor enhancement and tartness), sodium benzoate (preservative), flavoring, coloring and (sometimes) caffeine. As I tell my wife when she goes off on "chemicals" in things, EVERYTHING is chemicals (even her herbal tea and fake meat).
While coke was/is the generic term, you ask for what you want specifically. We're not that backwards.
Hey, you want a coke while I'm in there?
Sure, get me a Dr. Pepper.
That's sort of the reverse of what I was asking. What happens if you ask for "a coke" at a restaurant? Are you getting a Coca-Cola? Or is the waiter/waitress going to respond, "what kind?"
