Kosher Coca-Cola, or Mexican Coca-Cola made with real suger cane
Just curious about this. I drink Pepsi myself and not the diet kind. I am not overweight or Jewish!
What I find interesting is that around Passover time, there is a version of Coke available that is made with real cane suger instead of High Fructose Corn Syrup. I've been doing some research over the years and HFCS is bad stuff, but then I'm addicted to Pepsi.
So I ws really interested in finding some Coke, or Pepsi made with real sugar cane, like when I was a kid. My friend has tried it and he feels there's a definite difference. It's smoother and not as sickly sweet as Coke made with HFCS. And I like that it does not contain HFCS.
Now I learn that Costco is selling Mexican Coke, essentially, the same as Kosher Coke, made with real suger cane.
So has anyone tried this Coke? What do you think, where can it be bought the rest of the year, and I wonder how long Costco will carry it? I plan to try it. Want to discuss this?
Opps, I tried to change the thread title but couldn't, it might appear that I am discussing cocaine, which I am not!

Re: Kosher Coke, or Mexican Coke made with real suger cane
Well, all Coke products are Kosher, but Kosher for Passover Coke is only available usually the month before Passover because the HFCS is a corn derivative and thus not permissable during Passover.
So to all you non-Jews, please leave the Kosher for Passover Coke for those of us who actually need ("need" being a relative term considering Coke is a staple to some and not to others) to buy it during Passover. If your store has some in stock after Passover, feel free to buy it then. 
I've never seen Mexican Coke before. Is it really bottled in Mexico, or is just one of those experimental flavors that they try every once in awhile?

I have, in the hispanic foods aisle along with the fruit drinks in spanish that I can't read. usually the coke is in smalish bottles, 12oz or so I'd guess.

Re: Kosher Coke, or Mexican Coke made with real suger cane
Hmmm...
There is a mexican meat market in town that I used to go to late at night with some buddies. Ususally we were there to get some late night munchies (mmm, burritos). Everytime I went I would pick up a handful of pepsi that was sold in glass bottles. Being born in 85' I dont get to see these very often as cans and plastic bottles were already the norm. For some reason it tasted fantastic. Was never sure why. I thought maybe cause it was in a glass bottle. I still have some of those empty bottles in my pantry.
Were these Pepsi's manufactured with cane sugar instead of the HFCS? Hmmm...
Sure tasted good.

NO NO NO!
Buy it by the truckload. Coca Cola needs to know that there's a demand for it. |

Well, I buy my Dr. Pepper with pure cane sugar, and it's certainly a cleaner taste than regular Dr. Pepper. I'd love to find Coke like that. I'm not Jewish, but I'm afraid I'll have to grab a pack of it if I see it.

Re: Kosher Coke, or Mexican Coke made with real suger cane
I had the sugar cane Coke when I was in Mexico several years ago. I have to say I could enjoy it here in the States. I find regular Coke (and just about all "regular" soft drinks) here to be far too sweet for my palate.

Re: Kosher Coke, or Mexican Coke made with real suger cane
Jones Soda uses cane sugar in certain flavors if you're not wholly committed to Coke. Plus it has funky flavors like Sweat (though I don't know if it has HCFS).
Dublin Dr. Pepper uses the cane as well.
Having tried the Mexican Coke I can say I prefer it to the HCFS version.
