Hey there gentle reader. I love my fizzy pop and Coke is probably my favourite caramel coloured, carbonated beverage. As you might be aware. Today is Cokes birthday so here are some facts for you to chew over.
1 A can of Coke will sink in water. Diet coke will float.
2. You cannot buy any coke productin North Korea or Cuba.
3. Coke was once advertised as "a wonderful invigorator of the sexual organs". Fizzy Viagra.
4. In the UK, Dasani (Cokes attempt to enter the bottled water market) failed partly because of the advertising slogan "Bottled Spunk!" In the UK Spunk is a slang term for semen.
Dasani definitely left a bad taste in the mouth.
5. The drink that Coke turned into Fanta was actually invented in Nazi Germany.
6. Although Cocaine is no longer an ingredient in Coke. It is still made with the leaves of the Coca plant. The Cocaine is extracted from them at a factory in New Jersey.
7. Because men associated Diet coke with women, Coke introduced Coke Zero for men.
8. Coke had to scrap an advertising campaign because an artist hid an image of a blow job on the poster.
9. A senior Soviet army Marshall arranged his own colourless version of Coke to be made so he could drink it in Stalin's presence. Because it was colourless it was assumed to be vodka.
10. Coke only has a 3.1% market share of carbonated soft drinks around the world.
