    They almost certainly sub regular sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup.

    Corn syrup is pretty much only a thing in the US because corn is heavily subsidized for farmers in Iowa, and cheap foreign sugar is tariffed to protect sugar farmers in Louisiana.

      Yeah coke always had sugar wherever I went in Europe, it’s Pepsi that has sweetener.

      But nowadays I wouldn’t be surprised if they were selling more coke zero than regular.
