Fact Of The Day
There is one small difference between Coke that is Kosher for Passover and Coke that is not Kosher for Passover. The Passover stuff has sucrose in it, and it tastes like Coca-Cola used to taste before they started using cheaper corn syrup instead of sugar. Not only that, there's a conspiracy theory out there about this.

Apparently, true Coca-Cola fans (I didn't know that this group of people had formed a coalition) stock up during the Jewish holidays.

NPR did a story about it three years ago. You can listen here.

In Europe and Mexico all they sell is the real sugar stuff. It's fucking delicious. Corn is connected to so much that's wrong in the US. I was reading recently that we eat more corn here than they do in Mexico. A chicken mcnugget is more than 50% corn. This is why I take all of the ethanol hoopla with a grain of salt, or schmalt, the tasty new corn-derived salt-substitute.

I hear that schmalt makes your french fries get off your plate and dance.
