Gourmet Food : Coca Cola, 11.5 oz.

- Arrived Flat
My order was packaged extremly well, with lots of bubble wrap. Thank you for carefully wrapping each bottle. It was appreciated.

But...

The soda arrived flat...no fizz. I really wanted to enjoy this, but the flatness ruined it. My guess is that it was flat when it was shipped.

Price: C-

3.5 stars.

I attribute the difference mainly to the use of cane sugar in the Mexican product. The aroma of this product is better as is the taste. The greensish tinted bottle gives it a nostalgic feel, but it is the taste and ... Read More
