That time of year -- KOSHER PEPSI!!!

The best version of Pepsi, IMO, is Kosher for Passover Pepsi.  Only at this time of year, Pepsi makes special bottles for the Passover holiday that contain cane sugar and eliminate High Fructose Corn Syrup.  Forgive me if I get this wrong, but the gist is that during Passover you aren't allowed to have any forbidden grains that the Israelites didn't have during their exile in the desert, and luckily for soda lovers, corn would be something they didn't have because it's a new-world crop.

Only available for a few weeks leading up to Passover, you can tell by reading the ingredients label and verifying there is no HFCS and the only sweetener is sugar.  The telltale giveaway is the white bottle cap with Kosher symbols/writing on it and the KP (Kosher for Passover) mark. 

I've had all kinds of Pepsi -- all four runs of Pepsi Throwback, Mexican Pepsi, et al, and this is my favorite version.  Mexican Pepsi is also very good but very mellow, to the point of reminding me of RC Cola.

While Pepsi Throwback has been on the market (and appears to be here to stay), it is missing one crucial ingredient that regular Pepsi has -- citric acid.  No idea why.  But KfP Pepsi still has it, and that, in my opinion, pushes it over the top.  It's also possible that Pepsi Throwback uses cheaper beet sugar and not pure cane sugar.
