" I think it's because HFCS is much cheaper. We grow more corn than you could imagine here. "
Yeah, why countries like brasil have "real" coke because they can easily and fairly cheaply produce cane sugar where as America really cannot except for a very short growing season in teh deep south.
I do prefer the taste of real coke and will buy the bottles in a local store in Wisconsin, but also drink the mass produced stuff for the US also.
"When creating advertisements, it's allowed to only use a small percentage of the advertised product in the actual display. For example, since ice cream usually looks rather discolored and several other things on camera, there's a good chunk of the actual product replaced so that it will look more like the actual thing. Of course, most companies go beyond the making it look accurate to just plain making it look better, such as in the picture in question. So yeah, you were missing something here. "
Oh I see. Thanks. I never knew that but I guess I shouldn't so surprised as considering the fact that it IS advertising and I do know that fashion magazines tend to do the same thing, touching up the picture by enhancing the lighting, brightening teeth and widening the hips, that sort of stuff. Which of course leads to the whole controversy about young girls feeling insecure about their own bodies but that's another story. Anyway, when I was younger I was thought McDonald's hamburgers looked great in the ads, only to be disappointed by a wrinkly bun and dodgy meat whenever I bought one. I still do.
I knew that. Just go to a Mexican market and buy the coke in the glass bottle or buy at costco they sell it to. glass bottle mean Mexican coke which means real sugar
