Around here at least, Costco, Sam's and many other places always carry
Coke and Pepsi from Mexico which are made with sugar.

And Mexican water, the thought of which is troublesome if you've ever
returned from a Mexican vacation with giardia. :-P

Mine did too. But not at that price.

I've always wondered about that. The carbonated water might be added at
the bottler in Tucson, or Mexico, or Japan, or wherever, but isn't the
syrup, which I am pretty certain contains the sweetener (HFCS, sugar, or
whatever), made in Atlanta.

Pepsi Throwback isn't specifically from Mexico. They make it every now
and then, presumably when the price of actual sugar drops to the point
where they can sell it at the same price as the regular HFCS stuff. I
love the taste of it better than standard Pepsi. Dr. Pepper and 7-Up
are doing the real sugar throwback thing, too. I hope it's working for
them. There is just no substitute for real sugar in soda.

Sheesh. Of course I have. From wikipedia:

"The company operates a franchised distribution system dating from 1889
where The Coca-Cola Company only produces syrup concentrate which is then
sold to various bottlers throughout the world who hold an exclusive
territory. The Coca-Cola Company owns its anchor bottler in North
America, Coca-Cola Refreshments."

From the Coca-Cola company's own webpage:

"Our Company manufactures and sells concentrates, beverage bases and
syrups to bottling operations, owns the brands and is responsible for
consumer brand marketing initiatives. Our bottling partners manufacture,
package, merchandise and distribute the final branded beverages to our
customers and vending partners, who then sell our products to consumers. "

The bottler is where the carbonated water is added, not where the syrup
is produced. The syrup is produced in Atlanta or wherever, then sold to
a bottler who adds the water, puts it in bottles, etc., then sells it.
"Bottled by..." does not necessarily indicate where the syrup was made.

Much of the soft drinks in Mexico are bottled in the southern portion
of the country, near where they grow and refine cane, and water is
rain forest pure. It's really in northern Mexico, especially the
border towns (both sides) where the water is treacherous. Last I was
in Central America all beverage bottles were reuseable glass, no
plastic, even booze bottles were reused... however many of the locals
would keep the bottles to fill with their own brews, tropical fruit
wines are potent and delicious... once you try cashew wine you'll
never pay big bucks for grape wines again.

Not such a mystery: The Jews who use it, and the people who love
sugar Coke all stockpile it!

I've spent some time at a Coca Cola bottling plant, and there were
separate huge holding tanks for "sweetener" that was pumped in from
tanker trucks. The filtration process for the water used in production
was quite extensive, even though the water source was standard US city
water. The water in the soda, or in the bottled water was definitely not
"city" water (as claimed by anti bottled water kooks) even though that
was the origin.
