When Coca-Cola deviates from its iconic red color, it’s for a reason.
Usually, the favorite sodas come in bottles with a red cap that matches the label, but in the spring it briefly changes to a yellow cap. Reason? Passover.
A yellow top indicates that the Coca-Cola recipe is kosher for Passover, a Jewish holiday with certain dietary restrictions.
Coca-Cola bottles have a yellow cap for Pesach.
A typical red-capped Coca-Cola is already kosher year-round, but contains corn syrup, which is not considered kosher for Passover. Therefore, the recipe for the drink is briefly changed from corn syrup to sugar every year.
In other Coca-Cola news, the soda brand just launched Coca-Cola Y3000 Zero Sugar — co-created by humans and artificial intelligence (AI).
Combining global fan input and AI insights, the brand created the taste by measuring “how fans envision the future through emotions, aspirations, colors, flavors and more,” according to a press release.

For a limited time, Coca‑Cola Y3000 will be sold in the US, Canada, China, Europe and Africa.
