No Legumes And Grains
Kitniyot forbids Jewish people from touching legumes as well as more varieties of grain. Since corn is under that umbrella, it means Coca-Cola is not allowed during Passover, unless the high-fructose corn syrup in it is swapped with sucrose. As you can see, one small change can mean a big difference. With sucrose as its sweetener, the drink can be enjoyed by Jewish people even over Passover. But did you know that sucrose is not new to Coca-Cola?

You might think that that is a pretty obscure fact, but it might come in handy the next time you join trivia night… Anyway, back to Coca-Cola and the yellow caps. So, how did the drinks giant come up with the idea of using sucrose in Coke again?
