Jonah: I'm really not sure. I don't think corn syrup is a common ingredient here. Sounds horrible, anyway. Last time I actually bothered to look at a soft drink's ingredients it just seemes to be glucose or fructose.

Promising. One downside that just occurred to me -- anything you get from the States will have high fructose corn syrup in it. Nasty stuff, wretched aftertaste... Don't know if they have it in Canada.

I'm not a big pop drinker. But Pepsi and Coke tastes the same as it always does.

You want strange taste, buy a Coke in Greece. Seriously. It's Coke. . . but different. I really wish I could find a way to characterise it. Not as sweet, very mineral aftertaste.

When I was in high school, a Brazilian foreign exchange student told me that Coke (as in Coca-Cola) had always been sold in South America with lemon in it.

"Always?" Bit of a sweeping statement there. And untrue as well - I used to live in Brasil and never saw any such thing. Unless "always" means "for a long time but not before 1988" in Portuguese, which it doesn't.

Ditto to Da_bang. Most soft drink companies in the United States began switching to high fructose corn syrup in the mid-'80s. By the mid-'90s, all the biggies had switched over. Coke, Pepsi, R.C., Mountain Dew, 7�up, Jolt, Barq's Root Beer... they all taste different from what they used to be. And I know it's not my local bottling plant, because this is across companies, in the Pacific Northwest, the Northeast, the Southwest... I miss all the wonderful beverages I could get in Japan. *sigh* At least I've got Ramun� in the stores over here.
