Wrong holiday.  This is the one where we have to make our sandwiches 
with matzo.  Learning to eat a hamburger on brittle matzo is more of a 
rite of passage than is a Bar Mitzvah. 

By the way, in the U.S.the 2-liter Coke with the yellow caps are the 
Kosher for Passover formula using real sugar (like the Mexican 
Coca-Cola) instead of corn sweetner..  But I have yet to have anyone 
able to explain the DIET Cokes with the yellow caps!  When my mother was 
a child, her family ran the Michaelson Kosher Deli in Borough Park, 
Brooklyn, and she told me that every year the day or two before Passover 
the food distributor salesmen would come to the store and paste Kosher 
for Passover labels on the things already on the shelves!  And remember, 
this was -- and still is -- the most Orthadox Jewish area in the 
country! (The store location is now a Chinese laundry run by real 
Chinese.  Leah and I made a pilgrimage to it a few years ago and 
videotaped it and the neighborhood, and phoned my mother from in front 
of the store -- which also was the building where her childhood home 
was.  Unfortunately she passed away a few weeks later before she could 
see the tape.)
