NY POST (oldest, continuously published newspaper in America - founded by one of our foundng fathers, Alexander Hamilton) March 19,2007 By RIta Delfiner 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." |
