Kosher Coke is not just for Jews
Kosher Coca-Cola, specially formulated for Jewish people to drink during Passover, has become a surprise best seller.But it is not just Jews who are snapping up the sugar sweetened beverage, many cola-fans think it tastes better then the normal drink.
Around Passover time Coca-Cola uses sugar to sweeten their drinks rather than the cheaper fructose corn syrup which Jewish people are banned from consuming.
This is actually the traditional way Coca-Cola was sweetened before the introduction of FCS, explaining why some people claim the flavor reminds them of their youth.
In turn, this could explain the number of 30-somethings who are currently sat on street corners drinking Kosher-cola, eating sweets and playing with yo-yos.
During Passover Jewish custom dictates that they are not allowed to eat foods that have any leavening agents (like corn) in them.
Many countries outside the US limit the use of FCS claiming it can have negative health effects and could be partly responsible the the high obesity rates in America.
