This is a really wordy article to express very simple ideas.
The author is trying hard to dismiss those of us who prefer the non-corn-syrup taste, but I don't think they've succeeded here.
At best they've shown some combination of:
* It's a minority of people who prefer the non-corn-syrup taste.
* Some people prefer glass bottles.
* Most people aren't that conscious of the difference.
As to this suggestion to Coca-Cola:
> Bottle American HFCS-sweetened Coke in Mexican Coke bottles, and just tell everyone it comes from Mexico.
They do sell corn syrup coke in single-serving glass bottles at some places. I have sometimes bought them mistakenly thinking it was the Mexican one. When this happens I taste the difference and don't like it.
Corn syrupy beverages just taste unpleasant to me. It took me a while to realize this, but once I did I found I can consciously discern the taste of corn syrup. I have the same objection with bottled sweetened tea, for example. Some brands have corn syrup and some brands have sugar. I tend to like the latter and dislike the former. This has happened to me even when I wasn't aware of the ingredients.
