Yes, actual cane sugar and not that high fructose corn syrup crap.

Every time that someone mentions Coke made/bottled in Mexico, the first thing that I think of is Montezuma's revenge.....

But my wife was born in Monty's land, so immune

Montezuma’s revenge happens to gringos who don’t eat salsa.

The hotter the better.

I never experienced that Montezuma's revenge. Thank God.

When I hear Montezuma's revenge I think of the early 80s video game. Was lots of fun (because you know you're old when...).

This was my mom's new car. We loved that power back window. Oh, and set belts were just a 'concept'

I did just once. We were in Mexico for a geology trip and we were heading to Taxco to spend the weekend. On the way there we stopped at a restaurant and I had a chicken sandwich that had a piece of lettuce on it. That was a mistake. I spent the weekend in the hotel room, mostly in the bathroom.

That ruined your weekend, I'll bet. Bummer.

Is that like bootleg Pitfall or is Pitfall like a reboot of Montezuma's?

Pitfall came first.

My dad was an engineer for Philco, which at the time was owned by Ford. One of his perks was a cheap lease of a new car each year. One summer we went to Washington DC, Williamsburg VA, and on to the Outer Banks in a full-size 4-door 1964(? I think) Mercury, dark green with lighter green interior, no AC, and -- thankfully -- that back window.

I still have a scar between ribs from Monty. He got internal and attached to my liver. They inserted a catheter between ribs, surrounded him, and sucked him out over two days in hospital

Not from drinking, not from eating shrimp at a roadside stand, not from visiting a tequila plant. I went water skiing in a "river" surrounded by cows. Either the water up my nose, or up my bottom

Sitting on the backseat (seatbelts do not exist) of the family car driving on some backroad on a nice Summer day and the car radio news of the state radio (100% ad-free) announcing "The popular American rock 'n roll singer Elvis Presley was found dead" and your father (behind the wheel) saying "What? No way!".

Watching the reel-to-reel tape recorder spool very fast (parents warning: "Do NOT touch !"), whizzing sound, and waiting for the rather violent 'end of tape' fly-off with subsequent flapping sound.
