He said that he only drank the 8 Fl Oz bottles because they contained the best mix, so it's possible that the bottlers down in Mexico use a different formula than US bottlers. Mexican Cokes tastes less "sharp" in my opinion; perhaps they use less phosphoric acid?
I always thought that it was all in my mind. I have always considered the taste of those lovely little glass bottles of coke to be much better than from a plastic 2 liter bottle. Am I crazy, or whut?
