Coca-Cola makes a different cold drink just for people of THIS religion, it contains…, the religion is…, the reason will shock you

Coca-Cola is a name most of us recognize. The company has been around since 1886, selling its signature fizzy drinks across the globe. But did you know Coca-Cola actually makes a special version of its drink just for people of a particular religion? Yes, it’s true. Coca-Cola produces a unique version of its beverage specifically for people of the Jewish faith, and the key difference can be spotted right on the bottle cap i.e. instead of the usual red, this one has a yellow cap. So, what’s the reason behind this?

In Judaism, there is a religious holiday called Passover, during which observant Jews avoid eating or drinking anything made with certain grains like corn, wheat, barley, rye, and legumes. Traditional Coca-Cola contains high-fructose corn syrup, which makes it off-limits during this period.

To respect these dietary restrictions, Coca-Cola makes a corn-free version of its drink for Passover. Instead of corn syrup, this version is sweetened with cane sugar, which is permitted under Jewish dietary laws for the holiday.

To make it easy to identify, these bottles are sealed with a bright yellow cap, signaling that they are Kosher for Passover. This means Jewish consumers can enjoy Coca-Cola during the holiday without breaking their religious rules.

This is not just about changing one ingredient the company goes a step further to ensure the entire process aligns with Kosher dietary laws, which guide what’s acceptable to eat or drink in Judaism.

The genuine taste of the soft drink

Interestingly, it’s not just those observing the holiday who are reaching for the yellow-capped bottles. Many non-Jewish consumers and classic Coke enthusiasts also seek them out, saying the cane sugar version tastes truer to the original flavor they remember. For them, it’s less about religious observance and more about a nostalgic return to what they consider the “real” Coca-Cola taste.

This year a viral campaign on social media by fans of the yellow cap Coca Cola has meant that the kosher for Passover product is particularly in demand.

However, medical experts warn that both sugar cane and high fructose corn syrup can be harmful to health.
