The perfect combination of syrup and effervescence makes the Coca-Cola at the outdoor food windows at Costco the best there is. If you like your Coke sweet, go to a bar, where the mixture is typically calibrated for a higher syrup content in order to mix with various types of alcohol. If you like it weak, most convenience stores will suffice. But if you want your Coke so that the effervescence makes you cough when you first bring it to your lips and the tingly bite of the bubbles does nothing to dilute the caramelly essence of the Coke taste...go to Costco.
