Mexican soda

I was always a Coke kid - even though I could get RC (and Hires rootbeer, Bubble-Up, etc in the early days) for free.

I always wanted to try some 50s coke....I mean Coke. Well, that, too. Right up there with LSD 25.

Obligatory "I see what you did there."

I'm a huge fan of coke from UAE.  The stuff we'd get in iraq and afghanistan, it's different than both mex coke and us coke.  More jolt and less sweet maybe.  Almost a little mediciney but man it packed a punch.  It's not worth a trip back to the sandbox for more but if I ran across it in a specialty store or something I'd get some. 

In '07 I escorted some contractors through a Pepsi bottling plant in northern Iraq.  Kinda fun but holy jeebus you couldn't pay me to imbibe that product after seeing the conditions in which is was bottled.  My favorite part was the barefoot filthy 8 yr old kid in charge of picking the newly blown bottles up off the wet dirt floor where they were kept and putting them directly onto the filling line.  It's like they were intentionally filthying the bottles.

Mexican Coke really is that good.  Best price I have found is $17 for 24 bottles at Smart and Final.

Also, Pepsi has their "Throwback" Pepsi and Mountain Dew available which is made with real sugar.  It's widely available in cans at grocery stores and Target.

A bit off topic, but then again we are talking about mexicoke...  Several beers produced in equatorial regions are made with formaldehyde.  I guess if it can preserve a corpse it can preserve a beer.  Makes for a wicked hangover in the morning.
