A bit off topic, but US Coke tastes like shit
I'm pretty sure it's because the use of absurd amounts of high fructose corn syrup. There's 39g (can't confirm, I got it from Google) of sugar in a 12oz (340ml) can. US soda is pretty much just carbonated high fructose corn syrup water with a bit of flavoring. There's probably other significant differences too since the US has barely the minimum food safety laws.
As if the US is the only country drinking flavored HFCS... 🙄
Quick googling shows that China, HK, Singapore, Malaysia, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Australia, UK, etc use real sugar
