Mexican Pepsi

As far as I know, true Mexican Pepsi (and Coke) uses sugar instead of corn syrup. I live in a predominantly Mexican area of California and we have several mercados and taquerias that sell Mexican Pepsi and Coke. They have a distinctly different mouth feel than their American counterparts

If the guys that run the store expect you to speak Spanish when you walk in the door, they probably are selling the true Mexican sodas. If you're getting the corn syrup version of the sodas in glass bottles, your local bottler is probably just buying the bottles back from somewhere and putting the American soda in there as a novelty.
