When I visited China, I tried the coke on the plane first and after that I was hooked on it and I am trying to find away to get it in the U.S.

I don’t know if you still care, but I ran across the below comment on a High Fructose Corn Syrup discussion page and remembered your blog. Here ya go:

Coca cola in uk is sweeted with cane sugar,and in japan stevia (wich is better)i guess Coke would rather give us the crapy stuff (HFCS) to save them money.

i think it’s the high fructose corn syrup… only in america…. it’s like liquid cancer … diet coke is different and better here [in HK] too… pepsi? is ok.

If I drink a coke, I definitely prefer a Dublin Dr Pepper…. hmmmmmmmm. Talk about a sugar coma.

well my friend.. you are a wise man.. some could call you a mini “wealth-of-knowledge”.. but on this one, I’m afraid I’ll have to disagree.. at least with my own experiment. We are currently in Hong Kong (not the exact same as mainland China, but still an SAR) and the Pepsi is still nasty. I just can’t drink it.

Yes, the Coke does taste different; but I would much rather have a different tasting Coca-Cola than an HK Pepsi. It’s just me.. and of course, I would do anything for a Dr. Pepper right about now.. or a Sweet Ice Tea!!!

How were the cheese biscuits at Red Lobster??

Seriously? I don’t think so. I just feel everything here in America is sweeter than that in China. Maybe diet coke tastes lighter? I only drink carbonated drinks when I don’t have any other choices. Besides, coke is a drink for men. I love lemonade:)
BTW, I ‘ve never been to the Red Lobster! Lucky kid(*_*)!

Caffiene free diet coke- room temp or cold, doesn’t matter- hope they have it.

When I was in Scotland & Belgium I was surprised when they served coke/pepsi with NO ICE!!! yuck, neither of them won my taste test…hence I gave up drinking the stuff!

My wife is a coke fanatic and she has had coke all over Europe but never in China. Of course we now have American Coke with Chinese lettering, don’t think that counts.

I will forward this on to her, so is an avid non-pepsi person so not sure if she could switch, haha, course chances are she will probably not be in China any time soon either.
