He went swimming in a river -- and I've never seen him so happy. But he didn't like getting a bath afterwards.

I love his expression, he looks so put upon.

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...

jim - 04/11/06 11:35
I think you'll find I complimented the Dr.

ladycroft - 04/11/06 00:31

UCSF, the difference is night and day to me. You're not alone at all!

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.
