In Which I Am Interviewed by the Paper of Record
As those of you on Facebook know, there's a story in today's New York Times about the special Coca-Cola (made with sucrose as all Coke once was, rather than high fructose corn syrup) that is specially manufactured in the US for the benefit of observant Jewish consumers at Passover.
This isn't necessary in the rest of the world, where sugar prices aren't artificially kept high and Coke is always made with real sugar. The interesting and amusing result here is that a lot of the special Coke is sold to non-Jews who appreciate Coke's original flavor.
As it happens, I was interviewed for this article, and you'll find me mentioned at the end:
