    Winning: Trump Announces Mexican Coke Will Now Be Made In America

    Politics * Jul 17, 2025 * BabylonBee.com

    WASHINGTON, D.C. - In yet another sign of the New Golden Age being ushered
    in under his administration, President Donald Trump announced that Mexican
    Coke would now be made in America.

    The landmark move came following an intense period of negotiations, as
    Trump sought to bring the best-tasting version of Coca-Cola to the United
    States. The president stated that the change would play a crucial role in
    making America great again.

    "Mexican Coke will be back in the United States, where it belongs!" the
    president posted on Truth Social. "For far too long, the most delicious
    Coke has been made in Mexico. Such a travesty. I spoke with Coca-Cola
    today, and am proud to announce that starting immediately, Mexican Coke
    will be made right here in America, as it should. Many people said it
    couldn't be done. Biden should have done it, but he couldn't make it
    happen. Sad! Coke tastes much better out of glass bottles! Make Mexican
    Coke American Again! Thank you for your attention in this matter!"

    Industry experts said Mexican Coke's move to being produced in America
    would create a seismic shift for Coca-Cola drinkers in the U.S., to the
    delight of Trump's supporters. "Mexico has no business being the place
    where Mexican Coke is made," said one MAGA voter. "America is where
    Mexican Coke should have always been made. No more outsourcing our Mexican
    Coke-producing jobs to Mexico! God bless you, President Trump!"

    At publishing time, Trump was reportedly in intense negotiations with
    PepsiCo to bring back Crystal Pepsi.

    LOL. ;)

    I can remember when they had a "crystal" version that was called Pepsi Free.

    "It is positively Pepsi and it's caffiene free!
    Positively Pepsi Free (caffiene free)!"

    Not sure what happened with that version. IIRC, that was a mid-1980s
    thing... more I think about it, maybe even earlier than that. ;)

    That was early '90s, IIRC.
