Passover may be more than two weeks away, but for those of you who love your soda with pure sugar (or just love your sugar), you can get Passover Coke now. The special Coke, which isn't made with the forboden corn syrup, is only available in two liter bottles for a limited time and is distinguished by its yellow caps with the symbols "OU-P" on them. Calls to stores around the city found that some aren't carrying the product yet (deliveries could be there as soon as Friday/Saturday), but some stores already have the product is on their shelves — the Upper West Side and Harlem Fairways. A call to Coca Cola revealed that Passover Coke is already available in many markets, like Albany. Other establishments that Coke's corporate communications department recommended in our area include Key Foods, Associated and A&P. If your local grocery store isn't carrying it, you can even ask them to order it. Of course, the rest of the year, you can buy Passover Coke as "Mexican Coke."

It gets earlier and earlier every year. My dealer is already carrying kosher for passover weed.
Careful now. Depending on the neighborhood, you may get something radically different if you ask for "Mexican Coke."
Both only contain caffeine.
Does it come with a yellow cap that un-twists on its own during sabbath?
Wow this is so cool and Jewish I might even decide to get an all expenses paid trip to go to Israel and be brainwashed for 2 weeks.
Being Jewish is totally awesome!
As a total Cok (a Cola) head I love this stuff and actually look forward to it every year. It's not as sweet as the corn syrup Coke. They should totally make it available year round. I'd definitely buy it every time.
This is from awhile back but Mexican Coke was (is?) available at Costco:

Don't support middle-eastern terrorism. . .
only buy conflict-free regular Coke!
HFCS is mentioned in the Torah? Wow! That's what I call foresight.
Yeah can someone explain the religious reason for not consuming HFCS?
Alex, HFCS is considered chametz: bread, grains and leavened products that are not consumed on Passover.
More from wiki: Chametz is a product that is (a) made from one of five types of grains; (b) has undergone fermentation as the result of contact with liquid.
Are calcium triphosphate and butylated hydroxyanisole 'chametz'?
Hmmmm...Rabbi approved corn syrup...
I've got a Mexican Coke guy, as it were, on the Upper West Side. So sweet, so smooth, so good.
