Passover recipes
Look for the Yellow Cap and the OU-P Symbol to ID Passover Coke. Coca-Cola is made with high-fructose corn syrup, but for Passover they make a special batch with the real thing -- plain sugar.

Very interesting information about Passover Coke. Has anyone found any around here? I checked at Stop & Shop on Atwood Ave in Johnston and Shaw's on Warwick Ave in Warwick earlier tonight and couldn't find any at either place.

Did you try the kosher foods section as well as the soda section?
The Quincy Patriot Ledger:
...The bottler manufactures about 200,000 cases of Kosher Coke each March, including 20,000 cases that are shipped to grocers in Eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island, Tolve said.
Two-liter bottles were on sale for $1 in the kosher food sections of Stop & Shop stores this week.
Shaw’s Supermarkets also carries the throwback Coke, which is distinguished by its yellow cap and words ‘‘Kosher for Passover’’ written in Hebrew.
I'll see what I can find out in the morning.

Thanks for the followup. I did check the kosher foods section in both stores that I visited. It's possible that they did have some but sold out of it, or perhaps those particular locations didn't stock it because they didn't think there would be much interest in those locations. Those were the only locations I checked just because I happened to be in those neighborhoods tonight.

I called the Stop & Shop on West River St. (although most of us enter from Branch Avenue, just off Rt. 95). Yes, they have kosher Coke in aisle 13, according to customer service.
Then I called the Shaw's off North Main at the Pawtucket line, where I was transferred to a manager who said, "Yes, it's got a yellow cap, right?"
Right. He said it's at the back of the store between aisles one and two.
Then I got busy, and my plans to be more comprehensive fell apart. But if you'd prefer a store elsewhere, you should call first.

Update: I found some at the Stop & Shop on Branch Ave in Providence and the Shaw's off of North Main Street in Providence. Both stores had it in the kosher sections. At Stop & Shop, it was on the regular aisle with the other kosher products; at Shaw's, it was in a display on the end of the aisle with some other featured kosher products and a small sign wishing a joyous Passover. There was only one bottle left at the Stop & Shop when I was there--they only allocated a fairly small space for the product on the aisle. There were several bottles at the Shaw's. The bottles had the yellow caps with "Kosher for Passover" in Hebrew; there was nothing else indicating any difference from the regular product.
