>Costco doesn’t sell caseloads of Cocacola shipped all the way from Mexico to the north east because it’s “hipster bullshit
There was lab work done doubting whether Mexican Coke actually uses real sugar, https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1038/oby.2010.25... and in general blind taste tests don't show people really prefer Mexican Coke, it's mostly random. Plus, Costco would definitely ship tons of Coke from Mexico if it were "hipster bullshit," that kind of stuff is profitable.
