My daughter is getting married to her lovely mexican gentleman soon, and I'm tasked with doing the wedding arrangements! I thought enchiladas would be a good idea, so trying to find some good enchilada recipes. What do you think? Any other suggestions?? Anyway, thanks for your hard work as ever...

NB: The Mexican Coca-Cola is not found in the soft drinks aisle, but in the Mexican Food aisle. There is a large Hispanic community near here, thus the local Cub Foods has a very well-stocked offering of Mexican and Latin American food items. This may not be the case for all Cub Foods locations. It’s still available at my local Cub Foods supermarket.

I was just at Costco yesterday and the Coke is still gone. Not even the Mexican bottles are there right now.

The original formula called for coca leaves which resulted in 9 milligrams of cocaine per glass, but this was removed in 1903. As for the more recent "old" formula versus Classic Coke--the manufacturer says it has not changed because they claim high fructose corn syrup has no discernible flavor difference from cane sugar. That's really the whole point of my article. For me, there is DEFINITELY a difference in flavor, even if the only technical difference is the sweetener. Remember, cane sugar is sucrose, not fructose, and although they are both forms of sugar, many folks believe they do not taste the same. I encourage you to check the international aisles of your local grocery stores as well as Costco, if you are a member, and get yourself some Mexican Coke. You will be glad you did! Claude,

WHEN IT WENT TO "CLASSIC COKE" IT RUINED THE TASTE OF MY FAVORITE DRINK. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT WORKED FOR COKE, THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT CHANGED THEIR RECIPE,BUT OTHERS HAVE SAID THAT THE ORIGINAL COKE CONTAINED THE DRUG "COKE" IN YOUR INVESTIGATION INTO THIS DRINK. HAVE YOU FOUND THIS TO BE TRUE. IS THIS SUGAR ADDITIVE THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IN THE OLD COKE AND THE NEW COKE. DEAR SIR:

I never knew this history. My nephew recently brought some Mexican Coca-Cola to a family gathering and I was pleasantly surprised at the flavor difference. Thanks for this interesting article.

I'm not even fond of plastic. The bottles from Mexico are great, but the ideal version would probably be dispensed and mixed on the spot from a soda machine/fountain where the syrup is the old cane sugar variety. I wonder if it's possible to buy sugar Coke syrup. I agree about the cans. I’m not even fond of plastic.

Blah. Maybe it's that HFCS aftertaste you describe. But I have tried the Real Thing and I really like it. ¡Me gusta! Don’t drink a lot of pop, but when I do, it’s never Coke from a can. Blah.
