President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Coca-Cola agreed to use real cane sugar in its US sodas at his suggestion, though the company did not confirm the change. A shift from high-fructose corn syrup would align US Coke with versions sold in Mexico and Australia. Diet Coke, sweetened with aspartame, would be unaffected.
So does the cane sugar Coke taste different because it’s just fresher, or is there something else at play? Because it definitely tastes different.
It’s the ratio of glucose to fructose. In cane sugar it’s 50/50, but in hfcs it’s 45/55. Op is confused.
The cane sugar breaks down into that 50/50 ratio in the acidic soda. So it’s fairly close, but not exactly the same.
It will taste different only if you get it fresh.
This is something I’ve experienced. Sometimes Mexican coke tastes great and sometimes it tastes exactly like regular coke.
