Mexican Coca Cola Myth: It's Almost American.
By Venessa Wong; November 11, 2013
...when Francisco Garza Egloff, chief executive of Arca Continental, Coca-Cola’s Mexican bottler, let slip in an earnings call two weeks ago that the
company is considering using more corn syrup to cut costs (the government would soon approve a tax on junk food), America’s small but vocal Cult of
Mexicoke freaked out. It was enough to prompt a reversal of sorts from Arca, which subsequently vowed to continue using only cane sugar in the Coke it
exports to the U.S. Call it a New Coke moment in reverse for the maker of Mexican Coke. The uproar also revealed that much of the Coke
sold south of the border already contains high-fructose corn syrup. Arca’s corn-to-sugar mix for the soda it sells at home is around
50/50.

Mexico doesn't export coke in the sense that it just passes thru!

TW. Mexican Coke and Mexican Pepsi are both sold around here at Costco and other places... in bottles, and very pricey... So, we just wait to go to
Baja for the joy of a Mexican Coke made with cane sugar...

I did not realize that coca leaves are imported under special permit so that Coca Cola Company can use the flavoloids that are present in the leaves
to make Coca Cola. The cocain is extracted.
