Here's Why Some Coke Bottles Have a Yellow Cap

Typically, the beloved soda comes in bottles with a red cap matching its label, but it switches to a yellow cap briefly in the spring. The reason? Passover.

The yellow top signifies that the Coca-Cola recipe is kosher for Passover, a Jewish holiday with specific dietary restrictions.
