Passover Coke
Category: life
I gave up drinking soda almost two year ago. BUT, this is the one exception every year. What is it you ask?

Passover Coke.

There are some Jews who can not have any corn-related products during Passover, so the good people at Coke make soda with REAL sugar, not corn fructose. I am not a Jew, I am more than happy to pretend today.

You can really taste the difference.

Look for the yellow bottle caps (2 liter size only, with the OU-P).

Even this Coke doesn't hold a candle to Dr. Pepper made from real sugar cane. That is really something to die for.

Thanks for the heads up on Passover Coke. I am partaking in a glass as i write this. Sure can tell the difference... this is so much more betters.

Not a fan of the good Dr, myself.. never understood the fuss. I always thought it tasted like Coke that went bad.. lol. But hey, that's just me...

When I was kid in the late '60s early 70s, as far as I can recall, coke was made with sugar. Then the new Coke fiasco happened. After that, to my taste, Coke just didn't taste the same using corn syrup as a sweetener.

I was never a big Coke drinker (i'm not a big fan of colas in general) but that pretty much did it - no more Coke for me.

My friends thought that I was crazy because I could the taste the difference between suger and corn syrup and they couldn't.

I'm glad I'm not alone in this.

It was a lot of fun, but a gray day. Lots of geese everywhere.
