Default NYC: Kosher Coke a Big Hit: Passover formula

Excerpt from: http://tinyurl.com/yrjylv

NY POST (oldest, continuously published newspaper in America - founded
by one of our foundng fathers, Alexander Hamilton)

Why is this Coke different from all other Cokes? It's Kosher for
Passover. And even non-Jews are thirsty for the limited batch of Coca-
Cola because of a very special ingredient - it's made with pure sugar
instead of high-fructose corn syrup. "I had somebody with an Indian
accent call me one year to ask when Passover was so he would know when
to look for the Coca-Cola made with sugar," said Arlene Mathes-Scharf
who runs the Kosher food information website Kashrut.com
"These are people who love Coca-Cola as it used to be," said Jason
Perlow, 37, founder of offthebroiler.com, a New York metro-area food
blog. "Sugar lends a different flavor. It's not as sweet and it's much
fizzier and foamier."
Locally, Coca-Cola's Passover products, which are certified by the
Orthodox Union, have a distinctive yellow cap on the 2-liter bottles
marked with an O circuling a U next to P and the words "Kosher for
Passover" in Hebrew. Cans are embossed to show they are Kosher for
Passover.
Harriet Tolve, spokeswoman for the Coca-Cola Bottling Co. of New
York, said that for "at least 20 years,' it has been making the
Kosher-
for-Passover beverages "in addition to our regularly produced product."
