Is there a web site where I can change from Presbyterianism to Judiasm online? I love sugar Coke!

Taste.

Aftertaste.

I've had coke/pepsi made with cane sugar in asia. It does taste noticeably better. But i'm not sure that it is worth 3 times the cost of hfcs coke.

Depends where you are. I have never seen kosher sodas, ever. And I have looked. HFCS is an enemy of mine.
Where do you live? You are probably just not looking in the right places.
Remember that the Passover sodas are only available for sale around Passover time (March-April) but are indeed much cheaper than this Costco "deal"

Sold Mostly on the east coast..
In predominantly jewish neighborhoods, like all over NYC.
Also sold in the Midwest, Mountain region and the West coast.

"Sold mostly on the East coast" is the most ridiculous thing I have heard in a while. I have found it while stationed in Dayton, OH, Muncie, IN, OKC, OK, LasVegas, LA and almost everywhere else I happened to be around Passover. You just need to get out and visit the local grocery stores or better yet make a request at any large grocery chain and they will get it for you.

Got it at Costco in Phoenix, AZ. Pretty common here due to large Mexican population, but usually more expensive than the costco deal. Often up to $2 a bottle. Warning, once you've had "real" coke is hard to go back.

Doesn't really matter, but I posted this a couple months back: Locked Thread

Just like this time, idiots took over the thread as it turned into a Mexican/Jewish hate-fest. Grow up people -- this is a good deal on real-sugar-Coke. Don't like it, move along. Don't mind HFCS-Coke? Good for you. I personally prefer real sugar stuff and this is the best local deal for me, by far.

(And I still have never seen Passover Coke -- Jones Soda's Holiday Turkey & Gravy Soda, yes... Passover Coke, no.)

Hmm, I just drive 30 minutes south into Tijuana and pick up a case of these cokes for a few bucks. You guys are really gettin ripped off by costco on these deals. $18 for 24 cokes? How is that a HOT deal?

The sweeteners used in soda during Passover are not kosher for Passover. All the big soda makers, Coke, Pepsi etc. use cane sugar during this time. The bottle caps are different colors and there is a kosher for passover somewhere on the bottle, cap or carton. You may not notice it but it is there.
They are kosher all the time (there is a symbol there) but they have to use the cane sugar during Passover.

I've never seen this in Michigan, but wish I did....I prefer Coke in Glass Bottles for the taste, but never see it here made with cane.... Has anyone???

As discussed in similar FW threads earlier this latest pure case sugar Coke imported from Mexico and sold through Costco is not really 100% cane sugar despite Costco's deceptive advertising otherwise. It is about 10% cane and the other 90% is beet sugars. There IS a difference between this and true 100% cane sugar Coke still sold outside the US .

For those that don’t like to take their chance with Mexican cola, or those not willing to wait once a year for Passover, or for those who hate the disgusting taste of that Jones Soda pure cane crap there are still many US independent bottlers that produce true pure cane versions of your favorite childhood soda products. Most also now sell online. Here is a great resource by state of US bottlers still producing soda made and bottled the old fashioned way.
