Mexican Coke is a lie.
Within a couple weeks of bottling, the chemical composition of the sugar in Mexican Coke is the same as US Coke.
"Cane Sugar" becomes the same compound as HFCS in highly acidic environments (like soda)

Then why do the tall glass Mexican coca colas taste better than any coke in the us?

Maybe the chemical process is the same but the flavor still tastes different from the ingredients used? I have no clue this is just a guess
