Who knew? Coca-Cola make special coke for Passover.

[bif]

3. Coca-Cola Makes a Special Batch of Kosher Coke for Passover. While Coke is generally a kosher product, the dietary laws tighten during the Passover holiday making high-fructose corn syrup a no-no for observant Jews (it really should be a no-no for everybody all the time, but that's neither here nor there). In response, Coca-Cola pumps out a batch of limited edition Coke that uses (gasp) real sugar instead of the kitniyot corn. Look for bottles with yellow caps on them to be sure you're getting the right one, baby! (I know, that was Pepsi's old jingle, but close enough.)

2. Is the price the same? and what's so unKosher about HFCS?

Not that I support HFCS, just wondering why sugar is kosher but corn syrup not? Maybe because the equipment used was not blessed, or something?

:shrug:

If I see it, I'll buy some. I don't usually drink much soda, but if it's real sugar...

13. Mexican Coca-cola is also made without corn syrup.

I don't know if it is Kosher or not but it is available in most parts of south Texas year-round.
