I really don't buy that sucrose even tastes any better/different though I'll admit I've never done a blind taste test. There's tons of people who claim there's a night and day difference between the two but then you ask them about any other minor ingredient change and they'll go "????????:confused:?? lol stop being a food snob," and most of the time they're not even aware that HFCS and corn syrup are completely different things. If there's anything to the "Mexican Coke tastes better" meme other than placebo effect, I'd bet it has to do with being served from bottles rather than cans, or maybe the total amount of sweetener.

I mean HFCS is still poo poo because it results in trade imbalances that gently caress over Latin American countries, and we probably wouldn't have quite as much sugar as "just because" filler if it were more expensive, but nope people have to bloviate about how much worse processed food tastes these days.

While it's true that HFCS and Sucrose probably have the same health effects (http://www.nrjournal.com/article/S0271-5317(13)00184-X/abstract?cc=y=) the difference is very pronounced, especially if you come from a country that doesn't load up everything with HFCS as much as the states do.

Re: HFCS v Sucrose, I do know that I enjoy the taste of those "throwback" sodas over the alternatives, though there are myriad factors as to why that might be (sucrose, glass bottles, cost fallacy, etc.)

It'll taste different if it's unrefined/unbleached cane sugar.
Plus they could be altering the ingredient proportions slightly.

It's this. The recipes for regular coke and Mexican coke are different even ignoring the sugar/HFCS. Also the glass vs. can thing.

I know the song and all that - I just have no idea why Latuff brought it up now, or why John's "Empty Garden" is more relevant than Harrison's "All Those Years Ago", or McCartney's "Here Today", or Dylan's "Roll on John", or Queen's "Life is Real".

I have trouble with caricatures, and also don't really know who Rubio is, so for a second I thought it was meant to be Paul Ryan? Something about the eyes, maybe. But again, I suck at caricatures, so it could just be me. There's been more than one occasion where I've seen a cartoon about Jeb and thought "Hey, that looks like a slightly botched but not completely terrible Dubya, why is he in the news now?" and then realised my mistake.

We're always hiring!

I really don't think Zed is about to get raped.

First off:
Assume we live in a reality where DbD makes sense. Take your time, I'll be here.
Ok, now, it's very common knowledge that the Muiry Sue family LOVES their guns, and it's a very safe bet to assume that at any given moment, one of them is carrying.
It is also safe to assume that Waifu actually knows how to shoot a gun, seeing as how she's married to the greatest sniper in all of human history.
What I'm trying to get at here is, she would very likely shoot Skye. And because it's DbD, the fact that she murdered her sister in the middle of a hospital in broad daylight would not get her so much as a slap on the wrist, because she was "defending her man" or some poo poo.
Skye would be well aware of this. If anything, it's some stupid elaborate setup that Sam is in on in order to mess with or test Zed.

Alternatively, and probably the more realistic option: Skye never gets significant victories over Zed and Waifu, since she's the stupid liberal.
Sure, she might get some troll points by using Sam's face on dating sites, but she's never going to "win" decisively.

What's going to happen is Zed will have known all along that Skye isn't his wife. There is going to be a gratuitous shot of her handcuffed naked to the bed, and some sick burns about what a stupid liberal slut she is.
Then, Zed, Waifu, and probably the doctors/nursing staff will all go out for a delicious Hostess fruit pie before learning about the fuckbarn being torched by Obama.

I'm going to swear till the day I die that Mexicoke tastes better, but when I lived in Texas you could pick up a whole bunch of different cane sugar sodas and they all tasted way better than regular Coke (even the overpriced American Coke in glass bottles).

Even cans of HEB's rinky-dink store brand cane sugar cola was amazing compared to regular US Coke.
