They’re sweeter because they use high fructose corn syrup where as other places like Mexico still use cane sugar. To get a good Coke in the US, you have to go to a Mexican market or taco truck and get it in a glass bottle. We have a gluttony of corn here so it gets forced into everything from plastic to gasoline to soda.
Comment on Does Coke Zero taste different in the UK vs. the USA?

If I remember correctly, sodas tend to be made sweeter in the US because Americans usually drink them super cold, which makes taste buds less sensitive, while elsewhere drinking more room temperature soda is more common.

You don’t have to go all the way into Mexico. Just closer to the boarder. You can get Mexico coke just about anywhere here in south Texas. I’m sure the same is true for Southern California or any other boarder state.
Much like cocaine, Mexico coke is far easier to get than most people realize. You just have to ask for it and a lot of people don’t.

This is interesting! But sadly does not answer my question.
