Curious as to what your celebratory “first libation of the football season” will be, alcoholic or otherwise? Saw this on Twix for those of you who partake in the brown liquors:

For me, it’s the standard ice cold beer, probably Yuengling or Classic City Lager if I can find it. For the littles and my later cooling down sipper, it’s none other than this:

Be sure you find the ones that read “hecho en Mexico”…why?

While the Mexican version remained consistent, featuring the same sugar as it always had, the American recipe changed to using high-fructose corn syrup to sweeten it. While the company has always claimed that the flavor remains the same, a vocal group of passionate Mexican Coke fans claims they can not only taste the difference between Mexican Coke vs. American Coke, but that the former tastes better and “truer” (whatever that means ). Even though people still squabble over the subtle flavor variances, the most identifiable distinction between Coke from the two countries is in the vessel. Most American Coke comes in plastic bottles or aluminum cans, but Mexican Coke always comes in 12-ounce glass bottles  in the U.S.

If you haven’t tried one, pick one up (usually sell them as singles in the store) and take a flavor blast from the past this weekend.

note: the first drink blends with the second drink just fine. Go Dawgs!
