Corn isn't kosher for Passover.(*) You can also buy Passover Heinz ketchup with real sugar.originally posted by Vincent Fritzsche:

I agree they taste different with different sweetness perceptions but I submit the difference is the result of glass bottles vs. cans, not corn syrup vs. sugar. I think you'll find if you taste Passover Coke (sugar in 2-liter plastic) it is vastly inferior to any corn-syrup Coke out of aluminum or glass. I guess to have a complete taste test one would have to include the "Christmas" Coke bottling (corn syrup Coke in glass).
That just blew my goy mind. Passover Coke? I never heard of such a thing. But I'm going to arrange a tasting of as many as I can find...at some point any way. Might be instructive. I still think the HFCS is the key. But really, who knows.
(*) According to rabbinical consensus I have never been able to discern the basis of.

Amen.

I've been pondering the one on removing the beam from your own eye before decrying the mote in someone else's. "Demonstrating membership in a superior social caste" is dicey basis for complaint from anyone who puts wine tasting notes on the web.

Pierre Bourdieu has written extensively (and, to me, persuasively) on the use of taste as a kind of social plumage. I, too, dislike the superior v. inferior value judgments involved, but perhaps we can agree that it would be naive to deny that it's playing in theaters everywhere. Perhaps we can rephrase it as "Demonstrating membership in a social group that, through access to money and/or education*, demonstrates that access through their consumption choices."
*the latter usually following from the former, though not necessarily

Well, I don't mean to be sanctimonious, but a sense of perspective is often useful.

Keith is being disingenuous. He was saying exactly what you thought he was saying and thinks that "sociological observation" is a clever way out.

My bad, you are a cruelly misunderstood genius. Thanks for tracking down these secrets for us.
