I drank the bottled Cokes in Mexico and thought they were great.
When I got back I bought some bottled mexican Cokes and they just weren't the same.
Me thinks they just seemed better because we were in Mexico.
I'll take a good strong fountain Coke over them all but really any of them are good to me.
In the end it's just Coke. It's not supposed to be earth moving or honk your bobo.

During Passover, grains are avoided. The corn syrup in coke is a factor, as, apparently are traces of alcohol from grain, so coke that is acceptable throughout the year, is not acceptable during Passover. Before Passover, you thoroughly clean your home, getting rid of any open products that are not acceptable during Passover (either throwing things out, or donating them) to then use products that are ok for Passover, which is why, in many grocery stores you see an enormous selection of Kosher for Passover products.
And yes, how one chooses to observe Kosher practices varies tremendously. The building my school is in is Kosher-dairy only. And because of everyone's differing levels of keeping Kosher, no home-baked goods can be brought in and shared, only those purchased in a store. If you use Kosher ingredients, and bake or cook something in a pan or dish that has not been used for any non-Kosher foods, or if dairy and meat have both been cooked in the pan, then the product produced is not considered Kosher.
