Pepsi 2 liters made with sugar can be spotted during Passover with their white caps (as opposed to blue).

Most Sams Clubs also sell Mexican Coke with pure cane sugar in 24 packs for aound $18.
BTW there are already several lengthy cane sugar product threads here on FW. As I posted in a couple of them a few years ago GlassBottleSoda.org is a great site for locating local bottlers that still uses pure cane sugar in their drink products.
What about sugar-sweetened chewing gum? It is so difficult to find gum that doesn't have chemical sweeteners or sugar alcohols. Bazooka, and I think Bubblicious also, still make sugar-sweetened gum, but I miss the original Juicy Fruit.

LOL!Remember Bazooka Big Buddy? The only gum that could double as a ruler and advertised to have a full cup of sugar in every stick! It is too bad the bogus ADM (the largest producer of HCFS) funded studies of the earliy 80s killed off the sugar-sweetened chewing gum industry forever.
In the Pacific Northwest, Jones Soda Company makes soda with inverted cane sugar. The problem with them-at least to me-is that they focus on too many off flavors. For instance they make weird flavors during the holidays like 'Turkey and Gravy' flavored soda. I can get a lot of their off flavors at the one supermarket in my small town but the thing is I don't care for these flavors. FUFU Berry, Green Apple, and Berry Lemonade are readily available for around $5 per 12 pack. When the Seattle Seahawks went to the Superbowl, Jones Soda distributed their Cola flavor in mass quantities. (Yeah, it's hard to believe the cola flavor is rare compared to flavors like FUFU Berry!) Back then, it was possible to find regular Cola flavored soda at Albertson's for around $3-4 for a 12 pack! That price put them in direct price comparison with a similar 12 pack product from Coke or Pepsi.
It would be nice to find a cane sugar soda maker step up and make their product widely available, even it is just their local area, and offer comparable products to Coke and Pepsi for the same price.
Edit to add: Thomas Kemper sodas are widely available here but are very pricey... almost as much as beer.

FYI: I came across a commercial on the Food Network from the Corn Refiners Association about HFCS. I was going to put it on YouTube, but it is already posted.
This CRA commercial states that HFCS is ok in moderation, and that we are lead to believe that HFCS is as nutritionally as good as sugar.

I'm not sure how many of you know this, it may be old news, but you can get the Coca-Cola made for Passover that is made with beet and pure cane sugar.
In the weeks leading up to Passover (which starts April 9th this year), many stores in the Jewish parts of town will carry it. You can recognize these 2-liter Coke bottles by their yellow caps. I've heard that Pepsi makes a Passover version of Pepsi also but with white bottle caps, but I've never seen it myself.

I had the Mexican cola here in the US and also had them in Mexico, somehow the one I bought here taste just ain't as good as the one in Mexico (Mexico City to be precise). What's you guys take on that?
Zeanuts I noticed the same thing. I buy Coca-Cola in bottles from a small latin store and they are from El Salvador. I think the shipping and heating/cooling cycles affect the flavor a bit.
Thank goodness I spend a lot of time in Latin America and can drink the good stuff all the time. We American's get screwed in our own country wrt Coca-Cola.
Heard on the radio that Pepsi is introducing some kind of retro Pepsi made with cane sugar. Hopefully Coke will do the same.

FYI Passover Coco-Cola is 98% beet sugars so they are not really considered the traditional "cane sugar" Coca Cola of the pre-80s. Also just because you buy a Coca Cola product bottled in Latin America that does not guarantee it is cane sugar based. In fact most Coca Cola sold in Mexico and Central America is now beet and sweet potato sugar based. People often make false assumptions that since Sams sell cane sugar Coca Cola products bottled in Mexico that all Mexican Coca Cola product from Mexico is cane sugar based with is not true.
