Over here in Asia nothing has HFCS. Everything is sweetened with sugar. Even in cans. It is amazing what the difference is. Unfortunately now that I live in Singapore it is hard to find coke in a bottle but I loved living in Thailand. Almost everything is still in a returnable bottle. The only place you will find cans is in 7-11's and the grocery store and even there you have a choice. Unless you are at a big fast food place where they serve fountain drinks most eatery's serve coke, Pepsi, Sprite, 7up, Green Spot, and others in a bottle. In Thailand most water bottles are even returnable.

I try only to stock bottles of pop that have sugar in my machine.  People really like the taste of sugar over HFCS.  I wish they would get rid of the tariffs the government slaps on imported sugar.

Might be good...I drank part of a bottle of National Bohemian Bock beer that was bottled in 1957 while at a gathering of fellow beer can collectors, and it was about one of the best beers I had ever drank!  We were all left with the desire for more of that bottle.  I could see the soda being the same way!

dr. pepper is my favorite drink. i grew up on it with sugar. then moved from my home town to find out that the rest of the world drank dp with hfcs. how awfull! well i'm here to say that the dublin plant near temple, Texas  still bottels the original formula of dp made with imperial cane sugar. avalible in 8 oz. glass bottels or 12 oz. cans look for the 12, 2 , 4  on the bottel. and drink a bite to eat.  i don't know how far or if the plant will ship but let me know and i'll ship em to who ever wants them. i'll fly u buy!
