Jameel wrote a post the other week as to how Israel is better, mentioning “quality of life”, yada, yada, yada.

For years, every time I visited the US I complained to my parents that the Coke tastes funny - like it turned or something. They said I was nuts, and it was driving me crazy. Everywhere I went, the Coke tasted wrong. Not like it does in Israel, and not like I remember it from my childhood.

Was it the altitude? The attenuation of kedusha? The copepods in the water?

Yesterday I wrote an off the cuff comment at daboys where they were discussing Israeli soda cans. I said Coke tastes better in Israel. I was expecting to be lambasted or laughed at.



Turns out they agree with me.

Not only that. I was right, Coke does taste better in Israel and there is a reason for it. Go know.

Thanks boys (and dagirl).
