Sounds to me like Coke has found a way to make money, again.
I didn’t know that.
I have heard of a case where a person had some sort of bacteria in his stomach and it was producing a lot of ethanol. The person was constantly drunk.
Also, this Kosher and halal stuff is big business. There are a few organizations and each has created their own set of logos that the company can place on their product.
I live in Montreal and once, there were these Coca-Cola bottles, 500 mL, with a green cap and green label. It was advertised as being made of sucrose (cane sugar).
I think it said Made in Mexico.
I bought it a couple of times. The taste was nice, different from red Coca-Cola, but I don’t know if it was because of the sucrose.
But it was only 500 mL and it was way too expensive. 4 times the price.
It was only available for a short while at a big store (Provigo Depo).
I have never seen yellow cap Coca-Cola around here.
The formula for softdrinks and everything isn’t always the same.
The prices on sugars fluctuates so they always calculate how many grams they need and which is cheaper. Sometimes, they mix sucrose, glucose and glucose-fructose (HFCS).
