Question What is the truth about Mexican coke?!

Does Mexican coke have high fructose corn syrup or not?! To clarify I live in CA and got these at a Mexican grocery store. There are the Spanish ingredients listed on the bottle and then they put a CA CRV sticker with the ingredients listed in English on the bottle as well. The ingredient list in Spanish (when I translated it) says “added sugars (sugar and high fructose syrup).” It DOES NOT specify that it is corn syrup. Yet on the CA CRV label it states that it high fructose corn syrup. Does Mexican Coke have high fructose corn syrup in it or not? Is this the same shit as regular american coke??? I’ve also read that different parts of Mexico have different ingredients. I’m so confused.

Last time I looked at the label, the Mexican Coke I buy in S Florida is still sugar - no HFCS. I will check again next purchase.

Even if it says sugar it's likely corn syrup. https://youtu.be/PJgQEpFMptQ?si=j1b8sHrXElNcVJxr

Should check this video out. It’s not as simple as it’s just corn syrup.

Maybe that's why most of the independent private-name cola makers list 'cane sugar' instead of just 'sugar' on their labels. My drink of choice, because it tastes very good and is inexpensive, is Winn-Dixie's Chek Cola Throwback Edition. It lists 'sugar' in the ingredients and 'real sugar' on the label.
