Title: Onion Soup w/Coke
7 oz Coca-Cola(original bottle) *
* Nearly impossible to find. Substitute a "mini Coke" in the 7 1/2 oz size.

I've been told that Mexican Coke can be found on Scamazon and in
Mexican grocery stores. Here's a recipe for OpenCola. Just like Coke,
it does *not* contain any kola nut.

Also Wally World, Target, Kroger, Lowes, Costco, Home Depot, etc. I get mine at Sav-A-Lot (discount.no-frills stupormarkup) or Dollar Generous.

Nothing specific. Mexican Coke tastes the way I remember the Coke for my
youth used to taste. But other than the containers being sized in mL vs
Oz I haven't a clew.

Also, i've noticed some recipes have a caret (^) symbol at the end
of the title. Do you know what this means?

I have no earthly idea unless it's a recipe entered/posted by Carolyn
Shaw. Her recipes *always* had that symbol. I think t was an identity
tag or it helped her sort her MM base for *her* recipes.

These days, Mexican soda uses real cane sugar instead of HFCS commonly used here in the US.

For the first time in over 40 years, Coca-Cola is bringing back a cane sugar–sweetened version of its iconic soda to the U.S. this fall. The
move marks a nostalgic shift for the beverage giant, which famously
replaced real sugar with high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) in the early
1980s due to rising costs. Now, amid growing consumer demand for
simpler, more natural ingredients, Coke’s return to cane sugar taps into
both retro appeal and modern wellness trends.
