Formerly, the U.S. also had sugar cane Coca-Cola, but switched to high-fructose corn syrup in the 1980s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now Coca-Cola has announced it’s going to release a sugar cane Coke drink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
From USA Today<\/a>: “Coca-Cola will add a new soda beverage made with real cane sugar\u00a0this fall, the company says. Coca-Cola announced the development in its second-quarter report, according to a news release on Tuesday, July 22. The beverage company was reticent last week when President Donald Trump\u00a0proclaimed on July 16 that Coca-Cola\u00a0had agreed to use real cane sugar for its soda beverages sold in the U.S.<\/strong> The Atlanta-based company did not announce that switch, however, but said that this fall Coca-Cola “plans to launch an offering made with U.S. cane sugar to expand its Trademark Coca-Cola product range,” according to the news release \u00a0‘This addition is designed to complement the company\u2019s strong core portfolio and offer more choices across occasions and preferences.’ \u201d<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n “The new drink will carry the Coke name. ‘We’re going to bring a Coke sweetened with U.S. cane sugar into the market this fall and I think it will be an enduring option for consumers,’ Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey said on a post-earnings call Tuesday, July 22. ‘We are definitely looking use the whole toolbox … of available sweetening options, to some extent, where there are consumer preferences.’ \u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The CEO pointed out that they use sugar cane in other drinks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “Quincey noted that Coca-Cola does use cane sugar in some of its other beverages including Gold Peak Sweet Tea, Vitaminwater, Costa Coffee iced coffee drinks, and lemonade.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, they are made by Coca-Cola but they’re not really “Cokes”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What about other countries?<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Newsweek<\/a>, “…most countries use a variety of cane sugar or beet sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup. The U.S. and Canada are notable exceptions, where high-fructose corn syrup is more commonly used in Coca-Cola products, according to the company’s website, which lists ingredients for its products worldwide. High-fructose corn syrup is also listed as an ingredient on the Coca-Cola websites for some Eastern European countries, such as Croatia, Hungary, and Kosovo.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There’s an exception in the U.S. – a kosher Coca-Cola<\/a> sold at Passover time, with pure cane sugar cane and\/or beet sugar so observant Jews can drink a kosher Coca-Cola. The kosher cokes are in 2-liter bottles with yellow caps, and some Gentiles buy them too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When Coca-Cola introduces its new sugar cane Coke drink, will it taste as good as Mexican Coke?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Accoding to Chloe Sorvino, no. She wrote a piece on Forbes entitled <\/a>Why Coca-Cola\u2019s New Cane Sugar Line Might Not Be As Good As Mexican Coke<\/a> . Here’s why: <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In the United States, Coca-Cola is made from high-fructose corn syrup while in Mexico it’s made from cane sugar.

“Several people have asked me if I think this new product will be better than the cult-favorite Mexican Coke, which has been made with cane sugar for years and is a rare treat for many when they find it in a U.S. restaurant. I don’t think it will be, and here\u2019s why: I doubt Coke will launch this new product in glass, as Mexican Coke is sold. Glass simply makes a better beverage, but tariffs are driving up the price of glass. I\u2019d bet that the American cane sugar Coke launches in plastic bottles.”<\/strong>
