PASSOVER PREPARATIONS (3): "HFCS-Free Kosher Pepsi Now Available For Passover" -Michael

    The Jewish Network

    Why Do you Believe?          What Do you Believe?             How Do You Believe?              Who Do You Believe?

     

    Feasts of the Lord is a "Feature Series" that in preparation of an upcoming Feast is posted to prepare and to study.

     

    Passover is Coming;  

    The Celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus is Soon; 

    Easter Season is upon us.

     

    "What You Do and How You Do It Is Between You and God"

    We at the Jewish Network  present information for study and revelation of Jesus. This includes sometimes traditonal practices by Jew and Gentile alike; Christian and not. Our purpose is to inform of the facts of all these "traditions" and/or "practices" not so a person can cause division, strife, hardship or headache when all should look to Jesus to resolve these facts into a viable solution for yourself and your family in God; but rather; we would see people learn to see how Jesus walks in the midst of His People even if they do not yet Know Who He Is. It is our prayer, all would disccover Messiah and be saved.

    This isn't Messianic or Jewish or Christian.

    It is Information to help you uncover and discover a personal realtionship with God our Father.

    That is done through Jesus his Son. 

    The Rest is Up to You.

KOSHER PEPSI

I'm saved!!!

 

HFCS-Free Kosher Pepsi Now Available For Passover

Passover starts next week, which means that fans of non-HFCS colas can stock up on 2-liters of soda that eschew any sort of corn-based ingredients in favor of sugar. But while we've written about kosher Coke in year's past this is the first year we've noticed that Pepsi is offering a Passover-ready drink.

Just like kosher Coca-Cola, the only real way to tell if the Pepsi bottle is what you're looking for is to play "spot the different colored caps." Coke's kosher variety is bottled with yellow caps (as opposed to the drink's usual red) while Pepsi replaces the blue caps on its HFCS variety with white caps for the kosher kind.

I found this bottle at my local grocery store in Brooklyn, but I wasn't able to locate any Pepsi Throwback in order to see how similar the ingredients are on the two HFCS-free products. So I did the next best thing and actually asked a Pepsi rep if they are the same beverage in different bottles.

"Pepsi Throwback and Kosher for Passover Pepsi are not the same product," the Pepsi peeps told me in an e-mail. "For one, the Throwback product is not automatically kosher just because it uses real sugar — it would have to be produced in a bottling facility that goes through kosher certification. Second, the two products have a different flavor system — the concentrate is not the same for the two products. Consumers should check the cans or bottles in their area to see if they are certified kosher."

Anyway, if you're A) looking for kosher cola, or B) looking to stock up on Coke or Pepsi that doesn't contain HFCS, you might want to get to the store before supplies run out.
