I had some of this Mexican Coke just last night (from my local Mexican run conveince store).
It was good. But better? Well, I'd prefer it to watered down fountain sodas and 2 litre bottles of Coke, but not not to canned coke.
Mmmm....aluminum.
I do find that canned coke tastes better than the plastic bottled ones. I expect its a combination of:
1) The plastic taste leaching into the soda (something you can clearly taste if you leave plastic bottled water in the sun)
2) the fact that plastic breathes, albiet very slowly, and a small amonut of carbonation is lost;
3) Plastic bottles are clear and the sun can change the taste during storage or transport if the soda is exposed, plus inreasing item one above, and I often see large pallettes of soda sitting in the sun at beverage wholesalers and outside the coke bottling plant by the LIE in NYC.
4) Metal cans cool faster than plastic bottles and colder soda tastes better as it stays carbonated longer.
