Buy Mexican Pepsi!

One of the blogs I read just directed to this article about PepsiCo suing a Mexican company for distributing Pepsi made in Mexico to American consumers.  It almost reminds me of the coke zero commericial where they are trying to sue coke for “taste infringement” even though they belong to the same company.  I’m not really sure what the deal is with this lawsuit, but I would bet the Mexican Pepsi is much better than the American Pepsi.  Unfortunately, I have not had Mexican Pepsi, but I have had Mexican Coke, and it  is WAY better than American Coke.  

Mexican soda is better than American soda because they use cane sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup.  The only reason American soda producers use high fructose corn syrup is because of the huge tariffs on sugar and subsidies our government provides to corn growers. 

I’m not a health expert, but I have heard from articles like this that high fructose corn syrup is worse than sugar for our health.  

You have to love a government that cares so much about its citizens that it will tax and subsidize a healthier, cheaper, tastier  alternative out of the market.  And when it still comes to the market at a higher price, good-old fashion litigation comes to the rescue to prevent us from having any choice whatsoever.

Anyways, if you can, please check the ethnic foods aisle at your grocery store and pick up some Mexican Pepsi (or Coke if there is no Pepsi), and tell the government just how grateful you are that they can effectively dictate which soda you are allowed to drink
