Inca Kola or Irn-Bru or Cocktail de Fruits
Lome Togo West Africa

I would like to bring this soft-drink Cocktail de Fruits into the ring, I have seen this drink daily in Togo for two months, I feel and suspect it sells better than Coca Cola in the country of Togo, West Africa.
I think a new contender has entered the ring, Coca Cola has another challenger for who sells the most for another country.
There is always a tourist and traveler glee in saying,
- Inca Kola is the only soft drink in the world to sell more than Coca Cola in a country. -

This is gossip, now I am reading and it appears so does Irn Bru, in Scotland or somewhere.

The world of Coca Cola, these are the little mouses that roar, these are the little Trains that go,
- I think I can. -
- I think I can. -

Irn-Bru is a strange but delicious drink. It's availible widely in scotland and the UK as a whole.
The picture you have is of the Energy Drink variety, not the classic brand.
In the back of my head, I was afraid I was putting up the wrong picture as I copied from Wiki Commons.
My interest here is about the I-Hate-Coke tendancy of Travelers. I do not like to drink Coke, it is not a flavor I like, however, I would never try to tell a person not to drink Coke, it is a popular flavor so go for it, if you like it.
I really enjoy to try to study the phenomena of how people enjoy when something big has problems, like Microsoft to General Motors. Michael Moore makes his living by appealing to this desire to hate, despise and revolt against the big guy.
If a big guy make one mistake, all opinions of the big guy is bad.
Coke is just a soft drink, it lives and dies on the choice of a person to drink the product. Yes, they do a good marketing job, however I see repeated and repeated drinking of this product for years. I have to believe after drinking it for years, they like Coke and it is the real thing, or they would one day stop. I like Orange drinks, or Lemon, but I am the abnormal person.
Anarchy is a word you use, I cannot understand the word or why or what a person would benefit by promoting anarchy. Seems like a good way to die young in a civil war, or totaly collapse of the norms of society.
I do not agree with everything President Bush does, however, it seems foolish to try to destroy the leader of the free world as Michael Moore tries to do. This is some blanket all he does is bad, a 0 and 1 mentality, and no continuum of thinking.
Coke is ok, not totally good and not totally bad, I think too much sugar, sugar is needed to fuel the body.
I enjoy the masses adopting this anti-intellectual thinking of Michael Moore, it encourages me to remember, I am just a monkey who talks.
I agree about coke. I gave up drinking Pepsi and Coke a couple years ago as a new year resolution, and I have had maybe 3 times since. I am not perfect.
I originally gave up coke because I was convinced they were evil. It would be better to say 'I do not understand their buisness plan.' 1) their aim seems to be 'to get everyone on the planet drinking coke'. I don't see why this is good... water is better for you, so the plan seems wrong. 2) I don't like the aggressive marketting. Why would you spend so much money trying to win a market that you spend more than you earn, as Wiki talks about Peru? strange.
I no longer think Coke is evil, I think they are ultra-capitalists, and I don't like extreme forms of anything. I do not drink coke or pepsi because I do not like them as much as other drinks, and they are bad for me. But I drink Mirinda or Fanta or Tango, and they are owned by the same people. I too prefer orange and lemon flavour drinks.
Anarchism is not a system I would espouse. I would espouse a liberal, free-market socialism. I think it would be a good system, however it needs an experiment. It might be aweful, and I am not a politician.
I saw Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine yesterday, for the first time (saw the 9/11 one a while ago), and you are right, it is anti-intellectual. The guy pretends to be the voice of reason, but he is like a tabloid newspaper. If he cared about politics so much, he should run for office- challenge Bush straight on instead of making a film about it to make money.
I do not support President Bush or his government. I disagree with more of his ideas than I agree with. Doesn't make him evil, and doesn't mean everything he does is wrong.
However. President Bush is the President of the USA. Not the leader of the 'Free World', the leader of one country- the biggest, powerfullest country right now, but one country. Not my country.
The people who have a right to vote for him are American citizens, and they have voted for him. This is their right, and I woul dhave it no other way. I don't like Bush, but I don't want him removed from office because I personaly don't like him. I only want him removed from office if the American Electorate want him removed from office! it is their choice.
I am a British Citizen, so I have to vote for whether or not I like Tony Blair. I do like him, I think the first half of his leadership of Britain was truely excellent. However, the second half has been not very good, and I am glad he is retiring. I did not vote for him in the last election. I would have done the election before hand, but I was not old enough to vote.
It is too easy to demonise people as monsters. Michael Moore says 'I think Bush is a monster'. I say 'I disagree with Bush, as one human being may disagree with another.'
