What about the stuff in britain? made in the same place?

here, glass tastes better than plastic... but i think it may be to do with the manufacturing process of the bottles... while the glass doesn't taint the taste in any way - the plastic (while not being poisonous) does.

There is no real way to know how much our coca cola differs from other countries. THe most unhealthy formula to date is still being produced in mexico as far as i know, its packed with additional sugars and sweeteners, this was the original coca cola that was also sold in the states and in europe untill the company proposed to make their product healthier. Coca cola in europe has changed its taste about 3 times in my lifetime alone, i am 24 in a few days

Currently there are so many Independent producers that its impossible to know exactly how its made, Coca cola throughout the world will taste different because many bottlers will add more sugars and sweeteners than others may like too. The better or sweeter it tastes the more unhealthy it is for you to consume even in somewhat medium amounts

Coca cola isnt the most unhealthy soft drink though, some cheaper variants going by the name "cola" or "spring cola" could be a lot unhealthier for you.

I may only consume a glass of coca cola when i eat a large meal, otherwise i always consume water from the filter we had installed in our sink years ago.
