Yellow-Capped Passover Coca Cola

I never paid much attention to the color of caps on bottles of Coca Cola. In fact, I do not think I bought a bottle of Coca Cola in almost two years. But thanks to a 2014 article in Food & Wine, I learned that Coca Cola makes yellow-capped Coke for Passover (HT Dan Lewis at Now I Know). This Coke, like Mexican Coca Cola, is sweetened by sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. The New York Post wrote about the Passover Coca Cola before this year’s Passover. Citing to the New York Times, the Post explained that “[t]he change in [Coca Cola’s] formula [for Passover] dates back to 1935, when an Atlanta rabbi, Rabbi Tuvia Geffen, urged Coca-Cola to release a version of their soda that could be consumed during Passover so no one would have to miss out on their favorite drink…” I need to find a bottle one of these days. Add this to my growing collection of soda facts. You can reply to this article from your own site by sending a Webmention.
