What's up with that? It's what they used to make here in the US, before corn syrup was king and soda-pop was sweetened with real white sugar (sucrose). My local Costco frequently sells Mexican-made Coca-Cola, which is sweetened with sucrose instead of corn syrup, and it was a treat to buy a case Christmas, though I don't drink soda pop in general.
