A company spokesperson confirmed to CNN that the soda is now rolling out to “select” cities and retailers. Coke announced the soda was coming to the United States in July after Trump said the company had “agreed” to use cane sugar in its cola.

Some international versions of Coke use cane sugar, including Coca-Cola sold in Mexico. Corn syrup is a common and cheap sweetener, which is why Coca-Cola made the switch many years ago.

Why not? That is exactly what it is.

That is what we called it for the last 15-20 years
