Taste Test
A few weeks ago I read online about "Kosher for Passover" Coke now being available in New York City. The "kosher Coke" as I call it is made with real sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. Apparently this version is also quite popular in Mexico where they always make Coke with real sugar, not because of the large Jewish population, but because they use the corn for other things, like tortillas. Two nights ago we picked up a 2 liter bottle of kosher Coke at our local Key Food, then after the purchase of of the normal, HFCS version last night, conducted a blind taste test.Andy drank first and he guessed incorrectly and said that he like the HFCS version better...no kosher Coke for him. Then it was my turn. I closed my eyes and Andy gave me the first sip, then the second sip, ok..so I started to think about which one was which..then he says, ok, a third sip...even though there was no third option. I protested because there was no third choice! He persisted and was like, just take it, just take it....so I drank it and it was one of the two cokes. So then he asked me to decide which was which...I guessed between the first two but I was wrong...because the first two that he gave me were the same...both were the HFCS Coke and the third was the kosher Coke. So, basically he cheated on the taste test...not that it really mattered because I couldn't tell the difference either. I haven't had a Coke in months so apparently my Coke palate isn't that sophisticated. It even tasted the same when I mixed it with Beam a few minutes later...still delicious.

come on... you didn't see that coming? i remember sitting around the langford's table and we were all trying to decide where to eat for dinner. so the solution we came up with was for everyone to write down their restaurant of choice on a piece of paper and throw it into a hat. of course, we all knew who the culprit was when we read the paper with "poo" on it.
