You are entirely correct, Puffin.

The Coca Cola Company only ships the syrup to other countries outside the US. Those countries then mix the syrup with their own water. You should try Dutch Coca Cola, I think it's the best!

This is also the reason why coke tastes differently at any fast food joint because those joints also mix it themselves. They buy the syrup directly from the US, not from the local 'mixing company' in their country. I think the coke from fast food joints tastes more watery.
