The Wonders of Passover Coke

For those of us old enough to remember, there once was a time when popping open a can of Coke would tickle our nose and go down smooth, no acidic burn, no funky aftertaste. Then came the fauxCoke, the New Coke, and it was some nasty shit. There were riots in the street, cats and dogs living together, real end of the world stuff. Soon though, the Lord on High said "Yo, this really is some nasty shit.", and the world received what's now known as Coca-Cola Classic, which, while not as good as the original, was still better than that nasty ass New crap. For, you see, the new "Classic" contained HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup) instead of our beloved Sugar (Sucrose).

Which brings us to today's lesson. HFCS is not kosher. Meaning, for a few glorious weeks a year, we can find kosher bottles of Passover Coke on store shelves. Sometimes it has a different colored cap on the bottle, sometimes you just have to scan the ingredients list for Sucrose, but it's out there.

And the peasants rejoiced.

It mixes especially well with Pyrat XO Reserve.
