Thank God for The Joos!
I was in the local Publix today, and noticed their display of Passover supplies. I saw some Kosher Coca-Cola, made according to the original formula, with cane sugar, not that silly corn syrup. Being a Georgia boy, one of whose great-uncles was an executive at Coca-Cola, I immediately grabbed that bottle with the yellow top, paid for it, and took it home. It is cooling down right now in the reeferator.

My Grandpappy Asa Watson was one of the original investors in Coke. He was a wealthy AR planter who traveled to Hotlanta often, so he met the coca-Cola proprietor at some gentleman's affair or other. On his next trip to Hotlanta, he loaned that guy $14,000. The deal was he had to pay it back in 4 years, and at the end of 4 years, my GranPa would have the choice of 1/3 of the privately-held stock (the company would later go public but hadn't at the time of the loan) or his money with 4% interest, a lot of interest in those days.
Sadly, my GranPa took the bucks, not the stock when the loan was due.
You can get the cane sugar Coke in most organic grocery stores. Or Mexican grocery stores.
We loved living in Mexico for five years just for that reason!
