Around March-April (Passover) Coca-Cola releases a special version of Coca-Cola that caters towards the Jews.

The "Kosher Coke" caps are yellow and there is a seal on it from the Orthodox Jewish Union saying that the product is kosher.

This version of Cola-Cola does not use corn syrup and uses real sugar instead.



I live near a Jewish neighborhood so I see these Kosher Cokes a lot around here. I don't think they're available everywhere and there are other Kosher versions of sodas around; Pepsi, Sprite, and Sierra Mist.



Has anyone had any of the Kosher sodas? I'm not too crazy about the Kosher Coke.

I haven't (probably not a big enough Jewish community where I live), but I've heard about the product for years. I have had Mexican Coke, which I believe uses the same formula.

I'm a big proponent of sugar making a comeback in our soft drinks. I absolutely love Pepsi Throwback and find that it "goes down" easier than its HFCS counterpart.

I'm totally out of the loop - I never even knew there was such a thing as kosher Coca-Cola. :eek: :crazy: :lol:

I'd never heard of Kosher Coca-Cola either.

I looked into this more and Kosher Coca-Cola is available in:

New York City
Boston
Baltimore
Miami
Atlanta
Houston
Philadelphia
Los Angeles




Another interesting fact is that this Kosher Coca-Cola is originally how Coca-Cola was made. High-fructose corn syrup became the standard in the 1980s. It was around this time that Coca-Cola began experimenting with the formula (New Coke).

When New Coke flopped the corn syrup became the standard and hasn't changed again since, but Coca-Cola started getting rid of the sugar around the '70s.

There are so many soda drinks are in the market.But this is a Special one. Soda isn't really typically the very first consumable substance that comes to mind when losing weight is topic of discussion. However, PepsiCo would like to change the game for Japanese consumers with its latest release, Pepsi Special. The business claims that this brand new fat-blocking Pepsi drink contains dextrin, a non-digestible starch found in some baked solutions that will supposedly raise the consumer's metabolism and really burn fat.

Then again Pepsi tastes like garbage water.

I would try to avoid corn syrup if at all possible.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2337798/Are-sugar-addict-Scientists-say-high-fructose-corn-syrup-addictive-cocaine.html

James, off-topic, but of what descent are you? Most New Yorkers are either of Jewish, Puerto Rican, French-Canadian, or Italian descent.

I had never heard of Kosher Coke until today when I saw this thread.

nope,never had it.

Coke is always Kosher even if it's not passover. During passover there must be stricker dietary laws. Look on the top of the cap of a 2 liter bottle for example, there will be a U in a circle, that U means that the product is Kosher.

The "Kosher Coke" caps are yellow and there is a seal on it from the Orthodox Jewish Union saying that the product is kosher.

This version of Cola-Cola does not use corn syrup and uses real sugar instead.Yes the first time I tried this it tasted disgusting Jimmy.... (I must have gotton a bad one?)

Several years later I tried it again and it was delicous!!

Total missed opportunity. How could they not call it Kosha Cola?

That sounds a lot like " Mexican coke" that we have here in LA in some authentic little Mexican restaurants and Ranchero grocery stores ! It is in old fashioned skinny bottles ( reminds me of how Coca cola was when I was a kid and you need a bottle opener to get them open ) and made with pure cane sugar as apposed to high fructose syrup that regular coke is made with ! ;)

I bought this recently and still have some in the house. It still didn't taste as I remember the old Coke though. I don't know if anyone else remembers this but the cane sugar Coke from the 60's and 70's would leave a residue on the bottle. It kind of looked like little fibers all up and down the glass inside the bottle. This one doesn't seem to do that.

It was said on page 1 that Coke is always Kosher, and it is. It's only special for Passover.

These days with rare exceptions like when I tried the special Coke or Root Beer, I drink Seagram's Ginger Ale 99% of the time I drink soda.

The last time I was in Atlanta, Georgia, we went to the "World of Coca-Cola", a museum, that showcases the history of the Coca-Cola Company and its brands. They had a tasting room where you could sample all the worldwide flavors of Coca-Cola. It's amazing, the difference in flavors, of what people around the world enjoy! I don't know if this museum, is still open, after Covid. But if it is ... it's worth going to. It's very interesting.

Looks like it’s still around.

They seem to still have some remaining pandemic protocols in place, and a bunch of signs hanging that say “Pepsi Causes Covid”, but besides that you should be good to go.
