Here's how to tell the bogus Mexican Coke from the real thing.
Paul Stephen/StaffCoca-Cola fanatics may be in for a surprise the next time they order a Mexican Coke in San Antonio.
But at some restaurants and convenience stores in San Antonio, that's beginning to change. A Coca-Cola product has been spotted here bearing all the trappings of classic Mexican Coke — the curvaceous half-liter glass bottle, the"retornable" and"sabor original" wording, and, of course, the"hecho en México" designation — but a quick glance at the fine print on the nutrition label reveals something unexpected.
The bottle she bought did have a few obvious tells. For starters, the cap was green, not red. And unlike the classic Mexican Coke, this bottle bore warnings indicating the product contains excessive calories and sugar in compliance with a food labeling law enacted in Mexico in 2020. The pure cane sugar Coca-Cola is made in Mexico expressly for export to the United States. The version with high fructose corn syrup has the same calorie count and, as I said, contains markings that indicate it is sold in Mexico, too.
