It wouldn't be more expensive. Coke uses HFCS because of the corn subsidy. If that went away, they'd surely revert to sugar.

In that case we'd probably just import real sugar. Agricultural handouts lead to more agricultural handouts.

And less dead poor people! But we don't care about those. Your hipster sugar is more important.

I support giving poor people any amount of money (or food, I guess?) directly. I don't support messing up the commodities market (and numerous other things as a result) for the alleged purpose of feeding them HFCS.

Did you infer "hipster" from the italics?

Mexican Coke isn't any more significantly expensive than US Coke.

355ml glass bottle in mex costs 6 pesos, or 0.30usd, while the plastic bottle version at half a liter goes the same price. cans can go as much as 10 pesos in vending machines. 2L plastic is around 25 pesos or $1.50USD. I don't buy soda so my numbers may be off by 10%.
