It’s Kosher Coca-Cola time 2014!

Guess what time it is? It’s Kosher Coke time again! If you, like me, love the flavor of sugar Coca-Cola, it’s time to get your special orders in if you’d like Kosher Coca-Cola this year! Some stores will stock it, but if yours doesn’t plan to, you can place a special order for as many bottles as you’d like.

I’m often asked what, if anything, I’ll pay full price for. Each time this year, I do a huge stock-up on one thing that’s not only worth it, but has become something of an annual tradition for me — Kosher-for-Passover Coca-Cola! I try to buy one bottle for each week of the year – and if I time it right, I’ll be almost ready to run out around this time next year.

Those that know me well know of my love for classic Coke. Coke connoisseurs know that the original formula of Coca-Cola was made with cane sugar, and the flavor is unmatched with the HFCS-laden Coke of today.

But this time of the year, each year, is anxiously awaited by myself and Coke-iphiles all over the country, because once a year, Coca-Cola bottles Kosher-for-Passover Coke… and it’s made with natural sugar, not high-fructose corn syrup, as corn products are not kosher.

So, if you love Coke the way I do, and you want the original, delicious, BETTER Coke, look for the yellow-capped bottles designating them as Kosher for Passover. The labels also state “Original Formula” on them. Readers have already written to say that some stores already have these in stock.

If your store does not regularly keep a large variety of kosher products in stock, you can do what I do each year and ask your favorite Jewel-Osco to special-order you as much as you’d like. For me, that’s enough to last you until NEXT Kosher-for-Passover Coke season!

If you DO plan to special order it, also make sure to pick it up promptly when it arrives — not only will your store be more likely to accommodate your special orders in the future, they will also be happy not to be devoting floor space to your numerous bottles of Coke. :)
