Pepsi vs Mexican Coke
Which uses more fossil fuels to get to me, regular Pepsi or Mexican Coke? Regular Pepsi uses high fructose corn syrup. A lot of fossil fuels are used to grow the corn (specifically in the fertilizers) to produce the HFCS. But Mexican Coke comes in a glass bottle instead of the can. I'm also assuming that the sugar used in the Mexican Coke doesn't use the same source of fertilizer (and/or it doesn't need as much.)
Ok, maybe this is just wishful thinking. At best it's just transferring the 'real' costs of producing the beverage to me, the consumer, instead of the tax payer (because of the corn subsidies in this country.)
At least I can get the Mexican Cokes at Costco.
