Coke: The "working end" of globalization...

Oh, how environmentally and nutritionally benign is Coca Cola.

What is known in the public relations business as a Puff Piece.  Love the FAQ format.

Consider this little factoid: 
almost 1.5 billion servings of the Company's products are being consumed every day, WORLDWIDE.

I'm sure nothing good can come of more people in more places being able to afford more carbonated sugar water in a package that breeds mosquitoes when casually discarded.

Let's Live (Positively?) Long and Die Out.  

This next little snippet is from a related site...they are using social networking (perhaps Coke's facebook friends...) to assist in lobbying efforts.

CAN - Community Action Network (YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS STUFF UP!)

"Whenever an issue comes up that would change our day to day lives, CAN goes to work getting important information to its members. 
For example, did you know that right now your favorite Coca-Cola beverages could cost more because of new, special taxes that are under consideration?"

I'm calling my representative, immediately.
