If Coke would use sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup, I'd be more apt to drink it occasionally. The only time I do is when I'm in Europe, where this Frankenstinian HFCS goop hasn't made its way into every man-made grocery store product.
Mexican Coke doesn't use sugar anymore (or didn't last time I looked at the ingredients, anyway).
Still comes in long-neck glass bottles, though. (Mexican Coke.)
