I notice that the discussion quickly went to the socialist program that puts HUGE bucks into Coke’s coffers: Corn subsidies. The Coke CEO needs to stick to his business and remember how his bread gets buttered.
Saysuncle: Even if Cuba were to flip over night, Coke would never go back on cane sugar in the States. Coke would have to invade to get the prices where it would make sense.

Couple that to Pepsi’s ripoff of the Obama symbol, and I guess it’s Coke for me, too.

Another reason Coke should go back to using regular sugar!

In Obama-America sugar-beets make for red-syrup subsidies!

Uncle –
Coke can use real sugar, but to get a steady supply, we’ll need to invade Cuba. Win-win situation if you ask me. (chuckle)

Pepsi was cornered. They didn’t go with the “O” until Studebaker enforced their copyright on the “S”. Heh.

Tasty and anti-communist. Now that is a soft drink. 🙂

I just bought a coke earlier … I think I had better buy another. I think this settles the coke vs. pepsi debate.
