QuoteIn April of 1985, the Coca-Cola company announced that it was re-formulating its flagship carbonated drink, which to the horror of Coke fans everywhere, included a switchover to high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). Soon, the rest of the soft drink industry followed suit, and the classic taste of cane sugar-based sodas became practically extinct. Today, only a few small boutique soft drink companies still make sodas with refined cane sugar (or sucrose, made from sugar beets) a costly ingredient when compared with HFCS — but true carbonated beverage connoisseurs know and can tell the difference, as corn syrup has a characteristically cloying sweetness when compared to refined sugar. For nostalgic Coca-Cola lovers, unless you live in a foreign country that classic taste is but a distant memory.
Every late March and early April, for the two to three weeks leading up to the celebration of the Jewish Passover holiday season in the United States, Coke fans living in major metropolitan areas with large Jewish populations get their Real Thing, if only for that brief fleeting period. According to Jewish law, nothing made with chametz (any of a number of proscribed cereals and grains, including corn) during passover may be consumed — so in order not to lose sales from observant Jews during that eight day period, a small number of Coca-Cola bottlers make a limited batch of the original Coke formulation, using refined sugar. Needless to say, stocks run out quickly and fans of Passover Coke have been known to travel many miles seeking out supermarkets with remaining caches.

QuotePassover Coke products (and Passover Pepsi) in 2-Liter bottles can be distinguished by their yellow caps, inscribed either with just the "OU-P" symbol and/or the words Kosher L'Pesach in Hebrew.
I know this is a weird post, just something I came across. I posted this because I found it relevant that basicly, if you research High-fructose corn syup and why it is in so many foods and drinks you'll come to some interesting conclusions, then you see they remove the poison for the jewish community...
I'm not surprized, those bastards do treat us like cattle, remember mad cow disease?

They're responsible for mad cow disease too?.... Tell me more.
I'm not saying they are, but the whole mad cow disease thing was linked to feeding cows with cows to make them fatter...cannabilization of cows, jews didn't buy that meat since they don't consider it kosher....so they'd get premium cannibal free cows while the rest of us get the sick ones.
