Bigjon9981,

If you go to Bilker's in Cincinnati, they will have the KP Coke, possibly in cans and 7up in cans in addition to Coke 2L. That was Passover 2004 & 2005 I got stuff there.

In Columbus, the Kroger in Bexley has the largest selection of passover food. They had tons of 2L and Dr. Browns 6 packs. Apparently Dr. Brown's only makes Black Cherry and Cream Soda KP. The Dr. Brown's will have a K-P below the Hebrew letter with the K in the middle. Without it, you're looking at standard HFCS.

Also in Columbus, the Giant Eagle stores have a good selection. The ones in Dublin (Perimeter Loop Road) and Upper Arlington (Tremont? or Kingsdale) carry the 2L of KP Coke. More may have it as well. You may be able to find it at a Kroger in Dayton that is in a Jewish area, if there is one (not sure where that would be).

Jungle Jim's in Cincinnati at least used to carry all sorts of cane sugar soda. All of the West Jefferson glass bottles use sucrose (Dr Pepper, Mt. Dew, A&W, RC Cola, etc). They had Dutch Coke, Dutch 7up, Limca, Thums Up, Mexican Coke, Pepsi, 7up, Sprite, and Jarritos (always sugar).

That picture was taken circa Passover 2006. There were a total of 16 bottles of KP coke at one point. That picture includes 9 six packs of KP coke, 4 bottles of KP Pepsi, 2 six packs of Dr Browns Black Cherry, and some leftover JJ's bottles (including Afri-Cola!) and 2005 7up.

There may be a few Afri Cola and about two cans of KP Coke and two Dr. Brown's KP BC left. The rest is all history. I plan on restocking for the following year

I bought 20 2-liters yesterday, which left several pallets still on sale of Kosher for Passover Coke at Giant Eagle in Squirrel Hill, PA (pittsburgh area). Ingredients say only Sucrose. They had signs on the pallets saying their Kosher for Passover Coke & Diet have white caps instead of yellow this year. A store across the street, Murray Ave Kosher, sells many other varieties of Kosher for Passover items (at inflated prices), including cans from other bottling regions. It was nice to buy some Canada Dry cans last year (but at $3.99 or $4.49 a 6pk--ouch), those tasted excellent with real sugar! Last weekend I bought some 2-Liters Kosher for Passover w/Yellow Caps in San Diego at Ralph's downtown.

This weekend I plan on making my yearly trek to Heinens in the Cleveland Ohio area, because they get in 6pks of Kosher for Passover coke. As others have mentioned, the 2L have a 90day shelf life, and the cans have a 9month shelf life. Last year I bought enough cans to keep them in my vending machine at work (with their own slot & higher price of course) all year. My coworkers are now hooked.

So from my own experience, Pittsburgh Coca Cola distributes 2L to select stores, and Cleveland Coca Cola distributes cans to select stores.

On a side note, Coca Cola is apparently discrimiating against the Jewish by not providing Coke Rewards on the Kosher for Passover 2 liter bottles or the 6pks of cans

I'm looking in Cincinnati, too.

Last year I bought 15 cases, 4 2-litres, 2 sixers of 7-up, and 2 sixers of Dr. Brown's cream soda, all KFP, from Bilker's on Kenwood road. Unfortunately, Bilkers closed their doors a few months ago. I called Irv's, another Kosher market in the same area, but they aren't carrying it. I've got a call into the local bottler to see what they can tell me, but I'm not expecting much. If it comes down to it, I'm road-tripping to Chicago with the van.

As for Mexican, you can also get it at Party Source in Bellevue KY. They also have Dr. Pepper in bottles, made with sugar there. It's a night-and-day comparison with the HFCS crap.

No mycokerewards on 6 packs anywhere. And the codes are only under red caps, which they aren't using for KFP Coke. Then they would look just like all the regular ones.

Here is a very useful guide for Kosher Stores that are not of the regular grocery kind. Good Luck

Kosher Chicago

I checked Jungle Jims they had none as of Thursday at 6 pm. (they had it in 2006)
Bigg's in Mason had it in 2005 not sure about 2006 but they did not have it as of 9 am this morning.

If you want to drive to Columbus
Bexley Kosher Market & Deli says they will have it by Friday Mar 23

(614) 231-3653

3012 E Broad St
Columbus, OH 43209

Score One for Milwaukee! Kosher Meat Klub Supermarket has stock of KP Dr. Brown's and Coke. The cans were $4 per 6 pack, the bottles $1.60 each. Dr. Brown's 1L $.79 each. We got a few Cream and one Black Cherry (last one we saw!), and a few 2L. I'm probably going to wait until I go to Chicago to snag the cans since I got them last year for $2.25 each 6 pack. (Considering I had very many six packs last year, that is a considerable savings!)

No KP Pepsi or Dr. Brown's cans there, so that is a bit more reason to hit Chicago. Anyone found cans or KP Pepsi in Chicago yet?

Zap,
$4 for a 6pk of KP Coke, WOW !!!!!!
I have not gone out looking for KP soda pop as of yet.
I'm just about sure you could save a lot of money by
my parts.

Are the caps yellow as in previous years?

This is what we have in Milwaukee / Chicago.. Someone in PA also indicated that they have white caps out there as well, so this may be nationwide save for the CRC certification? Of course the Coke lists ONLY Sucrose on the Ingredients label, too.
