Coca-Cola Original Taste
Verfügbarkeit für Abholungen konnte nicht geladen werden
The classic red 330 ml can, Danish/German export labelling. Front reads "Original Taste" with "Delicious & Refreshing" beneath the wordmark. This is the European recipe — sugar rather than high-fructose corn syrup — which is the main reason customers seek out imported Coke rather than buying domestic.
European-recipe Coca-Cola in the 330 ml can, made to the sugar formulation rather than the corn-syrup version sold in the US. 139 calories and 35 g of sugar per can. The most familiar product on the shelf, and for a lot of shoppers the one that proves an import store is genuinely importing.

Why this tastes different
European soft drinks are typically sweetened with sugar, not high-fructose corn syrup. Corn syrup is the default sweetener in American soft drinks; in Europe it is uncommon, and most people notice it straight away in the taste and the finish.
Six artificial colours — among them Tartrazine (E102) and Sunset Yellow (E110) — must carry a warning about children’s attention on anything sold in the EU. Rather than print that on the bottle, most manufacturers reformulated with natural colouring. European fruit sodas also tend to carry more real juice than the same brand name does elsewhere.
Sugar is still sugar — we are not telling you this is a health drink. The difference is in the flavour and in what else is in the bottle.
