The Passover display at the Greenfield Giant Eagle had Coca-Cola with high fructose corn syrup instead of sugar, which means that it’s not kosher for Passover.
I’m Jewish.
If I was a crazy, woke, radical leftist, I would have gotten very upset, and seen this as a deliberate act of antisemitism by one of the store employees.
But I’m not a crazy, woke, radical leftist.
So I saw it as an honest mistake, and did not get upset.
He means he acted like a well-grounded mature adult instead of like a 4 yr old with a wet diaper.
I buy Mexican Cokes.
Next time, key a Tesla. It’ll make you feel better.
Better still, a VW...
I saw an interesting YouTube video where a chemist analyzed Coca Cola made with corn syrup vs. made with sucrose (table sugar).
What he found is that there is no sucrose in the Coke made with sucrose. The acid in Coke breaks down the sucrose into fructose and glucose. Which means that, chemically, there is little difference between the two Cokes. Little difference, because the relative amounts of fructose and glucose in HFCS sweetened Coke are either 42% fructose and 58% glucose or 55% fructose and 45% glucose (I don’t know which HFCS specifically is used in Coke, their website does not say). The acid digestion of sucrose in Coke made with sucrose yields exactly 50% of each sugar.
The caloric content of any of these sugars is the same.
So, you didn’t trash the coke displays, run carts rampantly into stacks of produce, empty cartons of eggs onto the floor, or crash yourself out through the emergency fire exit? Proud of you for maintaining your decorum!
The Left are good at Selective Indignation.

Not good, you missed your chance to rant and rave and demand reparations...
That means he passed Kindergarten. Starting with…
Don’t hurt people. Keep your hands and feet to yourself.
Don’t break their stuff or take their stuff.
