>Very strange the the ingredients differ. Perhaps a few laws at work. I have noticed that in a lot of colas in the US that corn syrup is used. Not sure why. Gives a slightly different taste.

American sugar producers have a powerful lobby. Cane sugar is kept at around double the world price with import quotas. Corn syrup is priced higher than it would otherwise be, but lower than cane sugar.

I notice that the Canadian version does not say "sugar" either. I can't remember noticing whether coca cola tastes better in Canada.

I was at a gas station in west Texas that was bringing in Coca Cola from Mexico, where it has cane sugar and tastes better. It's a national shame that "America's drink" tastes better outside America. I guess I think of it that way partly after seeing that movie "The Coca Cola Kid", directed by one of Dragan's favorite directors: http://us.imdb.com/Title?0088931
