because it contains real sugar. No corn syrup. If you're in the United States, you can experience the difference in flavor by trying coke bottled at one of Coke's plants in Southeastern Pennsylvania (I think that's where it is, at least). Another great thing that I discovered... you pay like € 0,49 for a can of coke AT THE GROCERY STORE here, but then you get €0,15 of it back. That means that you only pay €0,34 which converts to about $0.50. That's not a bad deal - it tastes better AND it's cheaper, as long as you take your cans and bottles back. So remember future travelers to Germany that between €0,08 and €0,50 of whatever you're paying for beverage is a deposit that you should redeem by being kind to the Earth and taking your bottles back!
My friend, Maggie, posted really cool pictures from Saarbrücken, specifically our trip to the Völklinger Hütte and in particular our visit to the street art exhibit that is being housed there. It was a great time, and you can check it out at this link: http://mcease.wordpress.com/2011/05/27/saarbrucken/ -- Imagine seeing THIS going up around you near the end of the 19th century...wow!
This is a brief and somewhat pointless update (except for the pictures), but I need to get to bed now. Good night!
