I've found it in Minnesota and Oregon.

Hmm. Remember, Canadian Coke also uses sugar. Minnesota is a border state, and Oregon is not that far at all.

Yeah, but I'm talking about the Mexican Coke. It only comes in glass bottles. The regular Coke in MN and Oregon is corn syrup.

Right, but unless they specifically source it from Mexico (as that link seems to for that outlet), it might be Canadian Coke, which also has sugar and which you can also buy in glass bottles.

Oh cool. I think it says made in Mexico on the bottle, though.

I think that's a pretty good indication of origin. :)
