A lot of it has to do with lack of safe drinking water in Mexico, and their delicious, made-from-sugar-not-fucking-corn-syrup soda, that is widely available in lieu of questionable drinking water. So it's a country where a lot of people have to take in a lot of sugar just to get the hydration they need.

Is corn syrup really making the beverages in the US taste so bad?

I can't imagine what else it would be. It generally behooves the bottling companies to keep the formulas as similar as possible, in order to promote global brand unity, and yet you can get "Mexican" soda at Mexican restaurants, or import Canadian soda, and it tastes so much better.

In fact, i may snoop around when i go up to Canada for a job interview in August, see if I can't buy up a case of grape or lime soda...
