Products You'll Recognize







I get an endless kick out of seeing American products spelled phonetically in Hebrew letters.  There are some sounds that don't exist in Hebrew, like "W" and "CH", but they have come up with symbols or combinations of letters that Hebrew speakers recognize to be these certain foreign sounds.  That being said, usually English product names work splendidly in Hebrew and certainly never fail to amuse me.  Note the large matzoh section in the supermarket.  Also, my Coke was not only kosher, the standard, but kosher for passover.

  1. The great thing about KfP Coke (and Pepsi) is that they're made with SUGAR and not that evil high-fructose corn syrup. Do you think it tastes better? Happy Passover! -Diana & boys

  2. I definitely think the pure cane sugar coke tastes better. I've been enjoying it. In moderation of course.

  3. What's moderation, again? I can never get it to work for me.
