Sugar is very soluble?

It's not at all hard and as prviously stated, fruit juices contain at least as much sugars naturally.

In the US we get our sugar from high fructose corn syrup unless we spend more to buy the imported Mexican Coke that's made with real cane sugar.

When I lived in Seattle, I always found it amusing that soccer moms would brag about buying Mexican Coke at Whole Foods like it was something special. They could just drive an hour north and buy Canadian Coke, which is also made with sugar, for half the price!

Surely not really half the price if you can buy one locally, and have to drive two hours there and back for the other.

This is true. That's why in baking, sugar is considered a liquid, not a solid.

From my calculations a can of coke has 12 teaspoons of sugar. That seems almost undrinkably sweet.
