Australian Coke

For some reason, it seems that America is the only country where Coke doesn't have real cane sugar in it. Mexico does, Australia does... I can't recall if the other places I have been have or not. But really, considering how much Coke the US goes though, you would think we could get the good stuff. But no, we get synthetic nasties in our soft drinks.

I am officially boycotting American soft drinks. Which, you know, will be really easy for the next three months as I will not actually be in America. But, you know, it's about the spirit, right? Or maybe I will just boycott the nasty ones and drink the Hansen brand drinks that have all sorts of real things in them. Better yet, I will make my own soda. Take that commercialized American companies!

Not that Coke is a bad company or anything, they do actually have scholarships and things for students, so they are doing something right, but in terms of sugar content, I am disappointed.  I pointed out to my host family how lucky they are to have real coke, and they just concluded that Americans settle too often for eating nasty things, so the companies just take advantage. Also, it turns out that Australia grows it's own cane sugar in large amounts, so Coke has ready access to a supply.

Cheers!
