Just send him some Coke from Israel, it’s made with sugar there.

Passover Coke, Pepsi, and Sprite has all but disappeared by now here in NJ... but just recently I stumbled across a HUGE display of KP Dr. Brown's Cream Soda and Black Cherry Soda, in 1L bottles, in the Kosher aisle of my local Shop-Rite!

The bottle says "sugar and/or high fructose corn syrup" in the ingredients, but the cap has the "K-P" logo, whereas other Dr. Brown's sodas I've seen just say "K" on the cap -- so I'm guessing this is the real thing, made with sugar.

I found a huge stash of KFP Coke down here in Orange County at a Vons in the city of Orange. I was surprised to see it since they didn't actually have it before passover. In fact, they had more of the KFP Coke than they did the normal stuff. Yellow caps and sucrose listed on the ingredients, along with a much better taste. I was impressed, and might have to go back and pick up a few more bottles, even though I don't drink much in the way of full calorie sodas.

This stuff is worth the occasional indulgence.

Actually, send hiim to Bethlehem PA. They have year round supplies of Coke with Sugar. (Also Cherry & Decaf Coke are made with sugar too!)

I was in a busy Pathmark supermarket today and they had an entire shelf of KP 2 liter Coke. Every bottle was yellow cap KP. They were $1.69 a bottle so I didn’t buy any. I’m not a Coke drinker anyway.

The store is in Howell New Jersey.


Here it is 2 weeks after Passover and the stuff is still around.

He doesn't even have to go that far - just to Chester County.

Their Coke w/ Lime is also sucrose sweetened.

I believe that SNL with KFP Coke is on right now.

It's true! Today I made a pilgrimage from NJ to a Wal-Mart and a Giant supermarket on Nazareth Pike in Bethlehem, PA, and both had sucrose Coke in stock -- but only in certain sizes. The 20 oz. and 2L bottles and 12 oz. cans of Coke and Cherry Coke are sucrose, but the .5L and 24 oz. bottles, midget cans, and retro glass bottles are all HFCS. Also, there is no sucrose Dr. Pepper or sucrose Sprite to be found -- it is strictly a Coke thing.

But these are not leftover Passover items -- the caps on the Bethlehem sucrose Coke bottles are regular red, not yellow, and they do have the "My Coke Rewards" promotion just like ordinary HCFS Coke bottles.

The expiration date code on the 20 oz. bottle I grabbed today is "JUN2507BHC", if that means anything to the experts here as to which plant it was bottled in.

Abarta Coke doesn't produce their own 16.9oz, 24oz, 8oz glass, or 8oz cans. All are produced by other bottlers for them.

20oz, 2 liters, 12 packs, and 24 packs are what they produce.

A slightly closer source for you would be Phillipsburg NJ, that's Abarta territory as well.

Apparently, Abarta has Coca-Cola bottling plants in Bedford Heights (Cleveland), OH, Pittsburgh, PA, Coatesville (Bethlehem), PA, and Tonawanda (Buffalo), NY.

And fans have been complaining that Abarta isn't bottling any Vault or Vault Zero -- but instead we get real sugar Coca-Cola all year round.
