A while back, Patrick bragged that he could tell the difference between the high fructose corn syrup (found in American Coke) and real sugar (found in Mexican Coca Cola). Jason requested that Patrick put up or shut up. Today we finally put him to the test. Here are the results:
The set-up, complete with scorecards and Roy Rogers styrofoam coffee cups.
Paul preps the experiment.
Kevin told Paul to “look devious.”
Patrick is presented with the experiment.
Patrick begins the experiment.
Paul: “Look everyone, I’m skewing results!”
Jason: “This is working out splendidly…. SPLENDIDLY.”
Bruce: “Someone remind me why I pay these people.”
Is that sweat on Patrick’s brow?
Patrick celebrates prematurely.
Paul arrives with the results.
Paul compiling the data.
Patrick pretends not to be nervous.
Patrick is presented with the results.
PATRICK ONLY GOT 3/10 CORRECT.
Patrick admits defeat to Jason.
However, Patrick may have gotten the last laugh, as he soon after made a startling discovery…

This contest is probably rigged! Do too changes in bottling and changes in the sugar market in general… much of the Mexican Coke on the market does not actually contain real sugar. Look closely at the labels… it will say either/or for sugar or HFC. There’s really no guarantee. Better to have a contest between Pepsi Throwback and regularly Pepsi. That you could actually one is HFC and one is sugar.
So yeah, I would ask for a recount!
