OK, Im Asking This As A Fan Of Inverstigation Journalism (eg Michael Moore) Im Wondering If Anyone KNows About Other Sides Of Coca Cola Then Their Public Image. I Mean Companies Like Nike And Mercadies Were Exposed For THings Such As Slave Labor, And Fast Food Was Exposed In 'Fast Food Nation' (Which Ive Only Read Individual Chapters And Keep Meaning To Buy). Its Just In All My Time, I Dont Think Ive Heard Anything About The Company Which Produces The Worlds Most Popular Drink

it's run by nazi reptilians using child labour and genetically modified carcinogenic heroin

I heard something; apparently, many years ago, coca cola used to contain a small amount of cocaine. I don't know how true this is, it may just be a rumor.

thats true, cocaine used to be a popular 'pick-me-up'
(ha, used to be)

Also it is green when its made, its only brown through colourant.

I Knew About Coca Cola (Hence The Name Coca, Of The Coca plant)

Snopes have a page of "Cokelore"
http://www.snopes.com/cokelore

You might want to check that out if someone tells you something "true" about Coke.

One thing I have heard about Coke, is more a McDonalds thing. They buy the coke in syrup form, and then add their own water to make the coke. Doing it this way, your £1.50 coke (or whatever it costs nowadays) costs them less than 3p per cup.

Working At Little Chef I FOund Out We Made A £1.75 Profit On Each Cup We Sold (We Brought In Syrup Form)

And as these pages of cokelore show, most of the myths about coca-cola are nonsence. Apart from the fact that it used to contain charlie. Crazy!!!

also with coke even tho it is supposed to taste the same wherever you are

buy a bottle from a motorway service station one from a news agents and one from a vending machine - they will all tase different, the service station one will taste like piss and cost you upto three times more than from anywhere else :/

Might be because some shops get them from oversees. Russian coke tastes different to english coke.

Every can sponsors the killing of Iraqi and Afgan children. Coke are a major donor to Gorge Bush and his Junta's electoral fund

American Coke uses corn syrup as a sweetener, but in Canada and Mexico... they use sugar cane.

As far as I am aware... we in the UK use sugar too.

Its actually red. Hold it up to a light source. Its the reason why the label is red too.

Very good for cleaning the toilet apparently.

and dissolving teeth and destroying coins

is nice and sticky on rims for trials riders who cant affortd tar. pepsi is better though, cos it doesnt dissolve your brake blocks

They allegedly had a contamination problem back in 1999 in some parts of Europe.

Sherman Skolnick did an eight part series on this a while ago, here's the first one. (http://www.skolnicksreport.com/cocaccc.html)
Always entertaining reading, I shake me head and wonder how he's managed to stay alive so long.

Now wouldn't it be a surprise if it was found out that coke and pepsi were actually the same company.
Think about it.
Because it wouldn't surprise me one bit.

You're right.

It probably wouldn't surprise " you " one bit.

I don't why so many people talk so much crap coke about its grate stuff I "shoot-up" the shit mannnnn.

Why woud anyone put on someones fucking brake pads.

Why not just cut the brake flulid line (or what ever it is)

the only use i've heard of coke for a car is that it dissolves that builup stuff around your battery. I've tried it, it works.

do you mean the contact grease that helps maintain the electrical connection and inhbit corrosion of the battery terminals ???????

whatever that flaky stuff is that builds up around the battery terminals, coke harmlessly dissolves. kind of scary.

arrgh, that flaky white stuff around the negative and positve bolts! t he crap that makes you hesitate to attach the jumper clamps.

Personally I don't get flaky white stuff round my bolt.

I like coca-cola. It is nice and refreshing on a hot summers day.

Its better than that non Imperialist Qibla cola that costs as much!!!!!!!

Some dude thought I know we will make cola that taste just like Coca Cola and sell it to a predominant Asian community, charge the same and pretend it is made for 'our' people. Sales gimmick or what?

Persoanly I can't understand why people are moaning about it, its harmless stuff, when I think of all the rank beer/wine/spirits i've drunk over the years a coke seems like a fucking health drink. Think of all those tramps drinking meths I bet they would love some coke as a mixer.

I had to make do with Tesco's home brand and Im off to buy some proper Coke now.....
