Pass Over the Passover Coke
Consider this a Jewish PSA, if you will.
When you go to local supermarkets and see the yellow-capped bottles of Coke and Diet Coke, if you are not Jewish, please don’t buy them. Those yellow-capped sodas are Kosher for Passover, so leave them for those that need them. My local Publix just put up the display sign above stating this info, but most places don’t have anything telling consumers what the heck is up with the yellow-capped bottles.
On behalf of hundreds of Jews in the area who will then be able to have Coke/Diet Coke for the week of Passover, I say thank you.
What’s good about that Coke, though , is that it is made with real sugar according to the original formula rather than the cheap corn syrup Coca Cola normally uses in the USA. Whenever I go to Mexico the first thing I hae in an ice cold original formula Coke right out of the old thick green bottles.
I have a diabetic friend in Seattle who buys Mexican Coca Cola bottles because of that as well.
But if I see you at Publix and we’re both gunnin’ for the last bottle of Passover Coke, I’ll wrestle you for it. ;-)
