Mexican Coke is different though. It doesn't use HFCS.



It would be more like Coke was Mexican owned and HFCS was outlawed in Mexico. Then Mexican Coke used sugar and the Coke they exported to America used HFCS. And America said, hey, you're not consuming the same Coke you send here: we're going to ban you if you don't sell to us and our plan is to keep making HFCS Coke once we buy you. You were also hurting Pepsi (Facebook/Twitter), who also only plan on ever using HFCS.


Yes it does. The US product called Mexican Coke doesn't, but Coke in Mexico does.


Precisely. Like TikTok and Douyin.


Except your analogy breaks as they are not the same product.


Except they are


No, buddy, they're not. If two products have the same name but different ingredients, they are categorically not the same product.

You chose a bad analogy, that's all.
