MEXICO CITY (AP) -- Ten people were injured in southern Mexico after what police described as an attempt to attack the Coca-Cola company's offices in the southern state of Guerrero.

The violence occurred in the state capital of Chilpancingo late Wednesday.

The Guerrero state government said protesters tried to attack the Coke offices "to damage the facilities."

It said the demonstrators, including teachers' college students and unionized teachers, threw gasoline bombs, and a state police officer was burned.

1. We only buy Coca-Cola bottled in Mexico, "MexiCoke"

Because it's made with real natural sugar not HFCs.

Have to watch the labels still.

It mixes much better with Rum that way.
