Actually it was Coke who makes Kosher-for-passover cans.  The best thing
about this is it uses *real sugar*!!!  Just like old coke!  The reason
that the high fructose corn syrup isn't kosher is that corn isn't kosher
(as to why corn isn't kosher, that's another discussion entirely).

At the last sedar I was at, I asked why coke was made kosher and pepsi wasn't.
The grandfather of a friend of mine said that PepsiCo is somewhat
anti-semetic, and so doesn't bother making their product kosher.  He
backed this up with the fact that PepsiCo has always supported Arab
arms sales and always lobbied against any aid to Israel.
