That's interesting. My Mexican Coke was brought back by a vacationing co-worker. The label was in Spanish, so I had my Puerto Rican co-workers translate the ingredients label. It had both Phosphoric and Citric Acids in it. We both could tell right away that it didn't taste like the USA Coke we were used to. He didn't mind it as much as me, but I wouldn't buy it again.
Interestingly enough, another vacationing co-worker brought me back a Coke and a Pepsi from Brazil! I don't remember what I thought about the taste, but the labels were all in Portuguese. My co-worker doesn't speak much Portuguese but his wife is from Brazil but unfortunately not a co-worker so she wasn't around to translate for us.
And then the same co-worker who brought me back the Mexican Coke went to Arizona I think it was, and brought back bottles of Dr. Pepper from the, per him, first Dr. Pepper bottler! They still use pure cane sugar. It was really good and did taste like Dr. Pepper from the 1950's!
So, while I still remember my Dad standing up in the row boat on the Mississippi down by Muscatine, holding a bottle of Coke up and saying "No matter where you go in the world, this always tastes exactly alike!".
Guess that isn't quite true anymore!
