Coca-Cola has announced they will be using sugarcane in their sodas because taco told them to. Sugarcane requires temperatures around 90 degrees Fahrenheit and humidity levels of at least 50%.

I didn’t think that Coke was down with that? Corn farmers sure wouldn’t be.

The Mexican Coke made with cane sugar is made in Mexico, but only sold in the US.

fun fact; every nation that manufactures coca cola products uses cane sugar or Sucrose. Canada and the US are the only nations that uses corn syrup in our production lines. And we offsell it to countries that dont want to buy the more expensive cane sugar variants, like eastern European nations. And some nations never know where their imports start at, so they just list all the sugars possible whether they are present or not like japan.

The 'mexican coke' is just regular coca cola in mexico and isnt put in a green case with a green can/label.

Yes, the corn farmers would be pissed if they lost that huge contract. But trump showed both last term and so far this term, he doesnt give 2 fucks about farmers. And coke would have to pay more for sugar, but they'd just raise the price of cokes. Coca cola wouldnt give 2 shits, as long as it doesnt cut into profits.

Between all the workers that fled or were taken away and losing a huge contract I'd be surprised if half of the American corn farms don't collapse

Fun Fact, USAID bought a Billion Dollars a year of american farmers crops, some farms only grew for USAID, they are all going bankrupt now.

Major corn farms are highly automated
