WASHINGTON, D.C. — In yet another sign of the New Golden Age being ushered in under his administration, President Donald Trump announced that Mexican Coke would now be made in America.

The landmark move came following an intense period of negotiations, as Trump sought to bring the best-tasting version of Coca-Cola to the United States. The president stated that the change would play a crucial role in making America great again.

"Mexican Coke will be back in the United States, where it belongs!" the president posted on Truth Social. "For far too long, the most delicious Coke has been made in Mexico. Such a travesty. I spoke with Coca-Cola today, and am proud to announce that starting immediately, Mexican Coke will be made right here in America, as it should. Many people said it couldn't be done. Biden should have done it, but he couldn't make it happen. Sad! Coke tastes much better out of glass bottles! Make Mexican Coke American Again! Thank you for your attention in this matter!"

Industry experts said Mexican Coke's move to being produced in America would create a seismic shift for Coca-Cola drinkers in the U.S., to the delight of Trump's supporters. "Mexico has no business being the place where Mexican Coke is made," said one MAGA voter. "America is where Mexican Coke should have always been made. No more outsourcing our Mexican Coke-producing jobs to Mexico! God bless you, President Trump!"

At publishing time, Trump was reportedly in intense negotiations with PepsiCo to bring back Crystal Pepsi.

It’s the real sugar it’s made with.     And it does taste much better.    It tasted better yet when they used Cane sugar.

LOL, that was my first thought too. So I had to do a quick google search and it turns out it's possible. 

In 1903, the fresh coca leaves were removed from the formula. After 1904, instead of using fresh leaves, Coca-Cola started using "spent" leaves – the leftovers of the cocaine-extraction process with trace levels of cocaine. Since then ( by 1929 ), Coca-Cola has used a cocaine-free coca leaf extract. Coca-Cola - Wikipedia

So Coke has been cocaine free for the past 96 years. And most people don't have solid reliable memories before the age of 3 to 4. Lots of people have partial memories from prior to that age but consistent solid memories usually begin around age 4 which would place Krishna at least 100 years old. 

Having read his postings for the past few years since I've been here, let me congratulate him on having a very solid brain. I may not agree with 100% of what he posts but his reasoning is clear and memory is solid. He's doing damn good, better than I am and I'm 30 years younger than him.  jrSmiley_91_smiley_image.gif

Yeah, but will people be willing to pay the increased price for Coke made with real sugar? 

Bulk high-fructose corn syrup cost about $0.35 per pound for 2025, only rising from $0.27 in 2015, and remaining fairly close to this price in the past few years, according to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).  In comparison, the price of refined white sugar is $1.01, which is up substantially from $0.61 in 2015. Why cane sugar could increase product costs | Fox Business

A single can of Coke contains approx 39 grams of sugar. As there are 453 grams to 1 pound, a pound of sugar can make 11.6 12 oz cans of Coke. But there's no way the price increase for Coke will go up by only 66 cents.

The above listed article also contains interesting information around the potential impact to farmers in the USA around the price hit to growing corn as demand for corn syrup decreases. As of now Coke as not yet formally responded, but the real response will be the consumer.

I already do.    Have for some time.    
Of course I only drink it as a cocktail mixer.    Cuba Libres mostly.
