Quoted: Quoted: I've been buying throwback Pepsi and Mountain Dew by the pallet, stocking up because one day I know they'll take them from me again. Sadly that day has come. What u see on the shelfs is it. It ended I think feb 23rd. I have cases of throwback in the garage. I also have a source for Mexican Coke. I keep a few cases of that around. Screw that corn syrup crap. I'll keep my eye out for Jew Coke. I've never seen it here though. |

I bought several cases of Mt Dew throwback yesterday
and damn, it is 10x better than the shit made with HFCS. Why do they not just make it with sugar? cost maybe |

Quoted:
Jew Coke? I drink the Mexican stuff made from cane sugar. What's up with the Jooooo reference? Is HFCS not kosher and coke makes a kosher version? It's because of the corn syrup typically used in manufacturing coca cola. Corn syrup is susceptible to leavening; leavened products are not kosher during Pesach. I don't get the Jooooo reference either. It's also not Jew coke. It's a specialty run by the Coca Cola company to market to Jews during Pesach. Ed |

Quoted:
You can keep your Jew-Coke (no offense to the religion). I've tried it once and didn't like it. I'll take mine with HFC syrup You must be a young 'un. I used to love coke as a kid and thought my tastes changed as I got older. Then I had a bottle of Mexican coke and cursed the suits that ruined Coca cola. Greedy bastards. |

The term is not intended to be offensive, it is intended to be descriptive. I guess "Passover Coke" would be even more accurate, but many non-Jews might not actually know what Passover is. |

Sure its jew coke? I've seen plenty of yellow capped bottles but still made with corn syrup. They don't change the ingredients list so to keep manufacturing costs down while running a special line of Cola. The sign is the yellow cap. |

Why do they not just make it with sugar? cost maybe HF CORN S Emphasis on the word corn. The US Government subsidizes corn production to keep the price of corn artificially low. Ergo, it's cheaper to use corn to make corn syrup then to use sugar to sweeten cola and other food products. |

... Kosher Coke would have been fine. It struck me a bit odd. Jews and Europeans have a spotty history. Props to Denmark for evacuating nearly all of the Jews before deportation orders came down. I don't think "Kosher Coke" would be accurate, because Passover isn't about keeping kosher, it's about avoiding all kinds of things that Jews are allowed to consume during the rest of the year. I think the MOST accurate term would be "Passover Coke", but I've heard it described many times as "Jew Coke" and that doesn't really strike me as problematic, given that it's Coke (made by the Coca Cola company) that is made specifically for Jews. Thus, Jew Coke seems pretty accurate, even if Passover Coke might be slightly more accurate. I don't know how the term for describing Coke that is made for Jews only, would somehow have anything to do with the Holocaust or European history. I can assure you that no stereotyping, joke or offense is intended with the term. |

Quoted: Quoted: I try every year to pick up a bottle. Never been successful. Really? Wow - in my local grocery store here (a large Giant store), about HALF of the large coke bottle (of the size I bought) were this kind. I was a little surprised at how many it was. Either we've got a lot more Jews that I thought here in NoVA, or my store got a disproportionate amount of it. As this thread would indicate, it's not just Jews purchasing these coke products... some of us gentiles recognize that they have good taste |

Coke made for Pesach has nothing to due with the Holocaust, and it only intended to provide Jews a soft drink option during that season. -Ed |

I was throwing the Dane a bone on the 88 question as the Danes were the least 88 during the war. I have family (by Marriage) that were full blown Nazis and they often use a turn of phrase that strike me funny (odd not Ha Ha) about things like this. Perhaps this makes me over sensitive about these things.
I doubt the Prof was trying to be offensive, but I still found it an odd turn of phrase. |

If the labels are the same, and the only way to tell are the yellow caps, can this good stuff be had in cans? If so, how to tell???
I NEED TO STOCK IT DEEP LIKE XM193 @ 9 cents per round! But I hate 2 liter bottles. We only keep canned soda in the house. |

It's always been called "Kosher Coke" if you get a case of the cans, the side of the carton has "Kosher" on the sides I need to get me some |

The holocaust was just the culmination of the troubles. I may be just a touch over sensitive. I found it odd, but not offensive enough to report. Jew as a possessive noun is often perceived as a pejorative. |

Blind taste test anyone? What's ironic is that my wife and I actually did a blind taste test with a number of different types of Coke a few years ago to see if, first of all, we could tell the sugar coke (it was Mexican that time) from the regular HFCS Coke, and second of all, if we liked it better. I had trouble telling them apart myself. However, since LOTS of people on arfcom really dig the "real" stuff, I mostly started this thread to alert them that it's the time of year ago. |

Wegmans Food Markets keeps Mexican-import coke in glass bottles in stock all year round...for a slight premium (about a buck sixty per bottle). I, for one, am willing to pay the premium because there is very little in this world nicer than coming home from a hard day's work to an ice-cold Coke in a glass bottle made with real sugar.
