It has arrived in Indianapolis. 2L bottles with the yellow cap from facility (KE) Elmsford, NY. I just purchased 60 bottles of the stuff. The display had them in cardboard boxes with handles. The supermarket had them 10/$10. Anyone in the Chicagoland area please post where CRC cans are when they are spotted as I want to make a trip just for cans to outlast the 2L's. The last couple of years the Kosher stuff has been coming from (AX) Alexandra, VA. Before that we used to get cans from Herbco from (MD) Chicago, IL with CRC on them. I would rather have cans.

zap, thanks for posting the pic of the white bottle cap. I checked and mine are the same cap with the CRC P-06 logo. The CRC site (linked in this thread I think) said that they were accidentally made with the 06 cap stamping instead of 07.

So Pittsburgh got their 2L stock from MD-Chicago Main Depot. Since I didn't look, I am now curious where the the bottle with the Yellow cap I bought in San Diego last weekend was produced.

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.

Hey thanks for the updates on those stores glad I didnt make the trek over there. I actually live right in between Cincy and Columbus in Dayton. I have called places around here and they said they were going to get them in but couldnt give me a date. I will keep you posted if I find any so you wont have to drive 4 hours to chicago just 45 mins to dayton. I completly agree with you on how much better sugar cane is and healthier too. Even though it is hard to be healthy and enjoy coke so much now that I have found jungle jims my goal is too never drink HFCS coke again. Ill see how long that lasts.

More info..

I got a call back from a gentleman who works for the Cincinnati Coca-Cola bottler. He did some research and let me know that they did produce 2L bottles for the Cincinnati market with green caps. He said that his inside information source indicates that they were/are sold through Meijer and Biggs stores in the Cincinnati area, but couldn't give specifics. He told me that there was no more to be produce this year though, so if a store is out, don't expect more.

For anyone in the Boston area, there is a great deal on Coca-Cola at Shaw's this weekend. It's only 88 cents (plus deposit) for 2 liter bottles, so I went to the store on Commonwealth Ave in Boston and stocked up on Passover Coke.



I finally opened and drank my last bottle of 2006 KP Coke this week. The best before date was June 12, 2006, but it was still pretty fizzy 9 months later.

Folks I have big news to report, and I'm reporting this with a sugar high.
Apparently Cleveland Ohio Coca Cola Bottling switched over all their production to Sucrose/Cane Sugar a few months ago. These are not labeled Kosher for Passover--they are all made by plant "CD".

I drove to Cleveland today to pick up Kosher cans from Heinens in Pepper Pike. On the way there I stopped at Costco and I was just checking a case of their cans to see where they were produced. Low and behold I glanced at the ingredients and it contains sucrose, NOT HFCS.

I then went to another store, Giant Eagle in Mayfield Heights, and none of their 12oz cans or 2L bottles of Coke/Cherry Coke contain HFCS. (they also had 12oz 6pks Coke/Diet in the Kosher for Passover Section)

I went to Heinens and after loading some Kosher 12oz coke (And 2L Kosher Pepsi for a friend), I bought a couple six packs of 10oz Coke GLASS bottles with Sucrose. Yippee.

Sensing a trend, I checked a walmart in Mayfield Heights on the way home.
They had fridge packs, 2L, and 16.9oz bottles all with Sucrose only. I bought a can out of their machine, and--Sucrose!

I only saw this on Coke and Cherry Coke. The clear products (Canada Dry/Sprite) still list HFCS, despite being made in the same facility (CD).

Anyone catch SNL tonight? Weekend Update had a reference to KFP Coca-Cola.
