It was damn good....much better than "American Coca-Cola"

What does this have to do with Liberty?

Well, as I learned from Ron Paul: A Manifesto, because of sugar quotas (anti-free markets), the price of sugar rose and as a result Coke (Pepsi, et al)switched to high fructose corn syrup, instead of cane sugar.

The result?? Government intervention leads to an inferior product.

I have actually gotten people to open their eyes a "smidge" by bringing up the insanity of sugar quotas in an alleged "free market."

discuss...

I buy one in the bottle everyday. It costs 1.19 and I gladly pay it. Once you drink a Coke full of natural sugar you understand why it was called refreshing. No kidding.

I wouldn't trust the water from that God foresaken place either. I bet they export the 'dirt' and keep the good stuff for themselves imo.

Heck I have heard they spray the tomatoes with human waste as a substitute for fertilizer?

The Link to buy them doesn't work so I have sent a message to their sales department to make this Ron Paul label available again.

There is one plant in Dublin,Tx that still makes Dr. Pepper with sugar. They refused to change the recipe way back when Dr. Pepper changed their receipe. Guess what....everyone looks for Dublin Dr. Peppers and the plant is always booming.

LOL, I bought one of those for my friend and

and "Kosher Coke," which is sold in two liter bottles with a yellow cap instead of a white one, is made with sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. Show up at your local deli promptly, though: it flies off the shelves!

For those who may not know the Whole Foods house brand cola is also made w/sugar.

There's a little international store here in town called Olive Market - and, man, it tastes so good to get a Mexican Coke (in a glass bottle) with the fresh made tamales.

I loved this video. What a marvelous example of a businessman who's passionate about his work, bringing a great range of products to his customers. That's capitalism at work, my friends.

Great tasting sodas. When I do go back to the states I have to get use to the taste.

lots of soda made w/real sugar. Boy are the good! I buy lots of Mexican brand sodas at the 99 Cent Store, too, in glass bottles--all made w/sugar. I won't drink one in a plastic bottle anymore and especially won't drink one if its not made w/sugar. Just makes sense.

A friend and his wife buy them in Mexico

I asked them why and they said the same thing. Made with "real" sugar and they are in glass bottles, not plastic. There is a difference!

Watch King Corn. Corn is heavily subsidized.

it is usually out around passover and some other time during the year. it is made with cane sugar. this guy is the man, and yes he does ship.

TimB -- Coke's in Mexico is much better so is ice cream

Submitted by OctoBox on Wed, 12/16/2009 - 15:30.

However, sugar is a heavily subsidized commodity -- like all others.

When gov't gets involved with anything you get more of what you didn't intend or less of what you did.

#1 Gov't gets invovled because we Vote and Lobby.

#2 We pay taxes

#3 We don't work under-the-table

#4 We buy Corporatist Products (the subsidy seekers)

#5 We keep our assets in Banks and/or on Wall Street

#6 We don't buy Local (products, services)

#7 When we have work done we don't hire under-the-table.

#8 We send our kids to public institutions to be educated.

Those 8 would pretty much eliminate all Gov't Power -- all Banking Power -- all Lobbyist Power -- and all Corporatist Power.

It would end all wars and necessitate the bringing home of all our troops

I would destroy all three-letter Gov't agencies.

It's called Counter-Economics
----We only need to put our heads together so we can come up with how we spread the message and solve people's primary problems: 1) Passive Income Streams (in free-market), 2) Find great Entrerepreurial Investments, 3) Home-School their Children Effectively, and 4) Create Fast Moving Groundswell.

If we had 20,000,000 doing the above all at once (or nearly so) we'd destroy the present decaying economy in 4 to 6 months; while, simultaneously developing another!!

Yes, at-the-same-time!!
