imported mexican coca-cola

import love

I try not to drink a lot of soda for all of the obvious reasons, but I have one weakness: Coca-Cola. Not diet Coke or Coke Zero or–cringe–Cherry Coke, but the classic, red-clad bottle of chemically engineered goodness. Some people want a glass of wine or a beer after a hard day; I just want a cold glass of Coke. But even the classic version has its variations, namely imported Mexican Coke and kosher Coke. The variant: sugar, in place of high fructose corn syrup. Some like it for the taste, others think that sugar is less harmful than HFCS, but whatever the case, there are die-hard fans that search it out. Which brings me to the incredibly awesome Brent Couchman and Luke Bott who have just started a Flickr group entitled 'Mexican Coke Art' for all of those who wish to express their love of imported Mexican Coke! Of course I had to join in! This is my little homage to king of sodas, Coca-Cola.

p.s. be sure to visit Brent and Luke's websites–they're pretty incredible illustrator/designers.

ha ha. Last year I finally figured out why I loved the Coca Cola in DR and it was because it didn't have high fructose corn syrup. During passover Erin and I had a glass of coke and it took me back home. It was delicious.
