Seeing the words Made in America makes my heart swell with pride. I can’t help but think of the hard-working men and women who made this country great and the amazing goods we’ve manufactured right here throughout our nation’s history.
The words Hecho en Mexico, however, often conjure up different imagery—I think of cheap souvenirs and the gift to the world that is Mexican Coke.
I’m not a huge soda drinker and I usually prefer a root beer over a cola. However, there’s just something about that real (cane) sugary goodness of a Mexican Coke that I find undeniably refreshing. It tastes so good! That’s why a nice cold (glass) bottle of Mexican Coke is one of my favorite things.
Have you ever had a Mexican Coke? No!?!? Stop reading this, go out, and buy one! What did you think? Sound off in the comments below.

I’ve completely lost that pride. And will not be getting it back.
And with that off my chest, I will have to try one of these.
By the way, good to see you Ammon. Seems like it’s been a long while.
Right back at ya 🙂
Definitely give one a try — you won’t regret it! Better yet, give yourself a “blind taste test” and let me know which you prefer.
That makes two of us, Nate.
My daughter lived in Mexico for a while and the word was the reason Mexican Coke taste better than US Coke is that they use real sugar instead of corn syrup like we do. Enjoy!
Oh, I know they use cane sugar. It’s awesome! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
I’ve heard of Mexican coke but can’t really remember if I’ve tried it. Now I’ll have to!
YES!!!!!!!!! One of me and my wife’s favorites! Love that stuff!
