WhenCoca-Colastrays from its iconic red color, it’s for a reason.
Typically, the beloved soda comes in bottles with a red cap matching its label, but it switches to a yellow cap briefly in the spring. The reason? Passover.
The yellow top signifies that theCoca-Colarecipe is kosher for Passover, a Jewish holiday with specific dietary restrictions.

The typical, red-cappedCoca-Colais already kosher year-round but it contains corn syrup, which is not considered kosher for Passover. So, the drink recipe switches from corn syrup to sugar for a brief time every year.
For a limited time,Coca‑ColaY3000 will be sold in the US, Canada, China, Europe and Africa.
Oana Vlad, Senior Director of Global Strategy at The Coca‑Cola Company, said in a statement that the new beverage explores the notion of “what a Coke from the future might taste like.”
