different from ones bought in the USA? I just ate it.

I know Diet Coke and Coca-Cola light are different.

Anyone notice any other "American" products that are a little different in other countries?????????????

1. Sometimes there are restrictions on ingredients
Maybe they don't allow more than a certain percentage of corn syrup sweetener or something.

I remember buying Froot Loops in Germany and the coloring was completely different than the US version. Different (natural?) food colorings, but tasted about the same.

4. I love Coke from Jamaica
I don't know if they still do this but it used to have a bit of ginger in it. Mmmmmmm It was tasty! It also might be because they used cane sugar but that slight hint of ginger was nice.

5. Mexican Coke tastes better.
They use real cane sugar unlike the U.S.
