Check for an international/Mexican market. The groceries around here that cater to the Mexican-American population carry the Mexican real sugar coke.

Found this one in Beaverton: Tienda Y Carniceria Palacios - (503) 641-3462
6110 SW Lombard Ave, Beaverton, OR 97008

"The real sugar cola is difficult to find. Anyone know where to get it in the Portland, Oregon, area?"

By the time I read all the ingredients on the label, I put the product back on the shelf....and go home to the old fashion way of using up my homemade jams & jellies and canned fruit and veggies. Next year, I hope to go back to home canned chickens, beef, and pork & other meats. I know how I handled the product and what was added to each one.

Some may frown at Coke cola products, then pour themselves a dozen cups of coffee a day. We all have a few old habits that seem to cling to us for a whole lifetime.

Like our fix on QB...and quilting!!! Good for us and low in calories!!! No sugar, can pass everything but Quilt stores...on road trips.

I buy real cane sugar and syrup at our local food co-op. makes a world of difference in baking. By the way, it is not white but light brown and. Cookies taste like when I was a kid some 60+ years ago. Lol

I've seen the Mexican coke at our Costco but I haven't checked recently as I'm not a soda drinker. You might check there.

What is the difference- nutritionally - between beet sugar and cane sugar?

How can one tell on the package ingredient listings whether cane or beets were the original source of the sugar?

Also during Passover, sodas are sold that have real cane sugar. Different color caps on the kosher products. You can stock up them.

IT's Beet Sugar! Most of the store brands are beet sugar....I read the packages...Domino is cane sugar.

AHHHHH! But, would it be legal?

Zero difference nutritionally: No nutritive value whatever for either! Both have same calories (17 per teaspoon). If the package does not list cane sugar, you can bet it's beet sugar--the cane people always brag about theirs.
