Get your coke from a Mexican market and you will find your coke and pepsi made with sugar. Don't know what else is in the product from Mexico that you have to worry about but at least you will be getting The Real Thing.

Mexican Coca-Cola Growing Popularity in the U.S. - Are you mad that the U.S. doesn't use real sugar in Coke? by SAM Posted 04/24/09
It may cost more because it is imported and made with real sugar, but Mexican Coke is becoming more popular the U.S. - especially in the S.F. Bay area. Anyone who has tried Mexican-produced Coke can testify and say that it tastes like it used to taste back in the days, it even comes in the classic glass bottle. What's behind Mexican Coca-Cola? Of course, it's made with real sugar. Since the late 20th century, The United States has been using high-fructose corn syrup. The real reason people starting using HFCS is that the price of sugar in the US is kept artificially high to promote the use of corn. Remember when Coca-Cola started coming out in cans and labeling as "Classic"? That's when it all went wrong!

I don’t think Mexicoke is available where I live or anywhere near it. I certainly would purchase it if it was available. I also don’t prefer spending much more for sugar soda than for hfcs soda. A 12 pack cans of typical hfcs soda is $4 or less.
Mexicoke, or “gourmet” soda can be $1 a bottle or more. I understand that sugar might be a little bit more expensive. I’ll pay a little bit more. Not twice as much. I don’t drink hfcs soda anymore.
