And I wonder what kind of sugar German Coke is made with. I suspect what's going on in Russia is not a foodie phenomenon, but I don't know...

A lot of foodies in the United States prefer Mexican Coke, because it uses cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup, and so is slightly less sweet. When I was in LA last year I tried some at a Mexican restaurant and I thought it was a lot better. Ironically, many people are willing to pay more money for imported coke in the USA.

There was a Coke bottling factory in Liberia, and pretty much anywhere we went, we got a Coke, or Fanta. It was nice. The third Coke in 2 hours is a little hard though. Cheers for calling carbonated sweetened beverage by its proper name though. Pop all the way!! I have seen Fanta in Liberia, despite the fact that I cannot find Fanta here in Cali.

All ham aside, down here in South Florida many of los latinos (as well as los gringos) love their Materva and Ironbeer; which technically aren't imports as they are produced in Miami, but they originated in Cuba and only came here after that infidel Castro had his Revolucion. I guess you could say the soda companies themselves are imports.
