You can also find sugared Coke if you live near the Mexican or Canadian borders in the US. Or if you look for the bottles of Coke sold around Passover. [Correcting my earlier misnomer - Coke with corn syrup is perfectly "kosher", just not appropriate for Passover.]
(I don't actually like either type. Weirdly, I only like the taste of Diet Coke, and not even Coke Zero.)
- ars 18y agoThe holiday is Passover and it's in a month from now. You should be able find the sugar versions in about 2 weeks. Also, I've heard that the coke bottler in western PA has switched to sugar coke year round.
- menloparkbum 18y agoYou don't need to live by the border. Just go to a Mexican market and get the glass bottled Coke.
- Semiapies 18y agoI'm a few hundred miles away myself, but in a border state. How far into the US interior do they ship it?
- menloparkbum 18y agoI've found it in Minnesota and Oregon.
- Semiapies 18y agoHmm. Remember, Canadian Coke also uses sugar. Minnesota is a border state, and Oregon is not that far at all.
- menloparkbum 18y agoYeah, but I'm talking about the Mexican Coke. It only comes in glass bottles. The regular Coke in MN and Oregon is corn syrup. This stuff: http://www.mexgrocer.com/6295.html http://www.mexgrocer.com/6295.html
- Semiapies 18y agoRight, but unless they specifically source it from Mexico (as that link seems to for that outlet), it might be Canadian Coke, which also has sugar and which you can also buy in glass bottles.
- menloparkbum 18y agoOh cool. I think it says made in Mexico on the bottle, though.
- Semiapies 18y agoI think that's a pretty good indication of origin. :)
- jws 18y agoI can buy glass bottled Mexican coke in Missouri. You don't get much further from a border than that.
- Semiapies 18y agoNeat.
