As Passover approaches, Coca-Cola enthusiasts will notice a distinct change on store shelves: the familiar red caps have been replaced with vibrant yellow ones. This year, the yellow-capped variety of Coke, known as Kosher for Passover Coke, is causing a stir. It’s a great option for those who keep stricter dietary laws during this holy, beautiful period.
Kosher for Passover Coke provides a unique experience compared to most standard soft drinks. It has been carefully crafted to meet the rigorous demands of Passover. Those observing the holiday are required to get rid of all leavened products, referred to as chametz. That’s everything produced from those four crops, including breads and baked goods. As a result, Kosher for Passover Coke is sweetened with old-fashioned cane sugar instead of corn syrup, making it a dupe of the popular Mexican Coke that many consumers cherish.
Mexican Cokes were $9 for a four-pack of 12-ounce glass bottles. By comparison, the Kosher for Passover alternative offers a more affordable option. An average 2-liter bottle of Kosher for Passover Coke now sells for about $4. That’s nearly 34 of these, which is about 68 ounces, and is competitive with the price of regular corn syrup sodas. This important affordability makes it possible for more Americans to participate in the holiday with a refreshing beverage that fits their dietary needs.
The bright yellow cap is memorable for more than just its color. Its eye-catching hue conveys its powerful message. It has Hebrew inscriptions that say it’s “Kosher for Passover.” This branding makes it really easy for consumers to know which product is meant for those celebrating the holiday. Standard Coca-Cola isn’t kosher for Jews observing dietary restrictions during Passover. That’s why this blended solution is drink is so critical to so many people during the holiday.
Each spring, the arrival of Kosher for Passover Coke is much anticipated. This year, that availability peaks as Passover begins at sundown on April 12th. The short window creates a rush for consumers wanting to load up on this seasonal treat.
