coca cola

Once upon a time, Coca-Cola spent $100 million on cans filled with water that spelled like farts. It was supposed to be a massive promotion so that you would find cool things inside the can. These special cans would send a spring-loaded prize flying out of the can as soon as it was tapped. But these cans were also filled with water that smelled like farts. 

Yeah, I think I'll just have a gulp Pepsi. 

After 12 years the world's biggest beverage company will begin selling 12-packs of the citrus drink on Amazon Monday, and it is the first time Coca-Cola has sold a product exclusively online. The company says the move is a response to a surge of nostalgia for the soda.

Surge, launched in 1996 very aggressively as an answer to Mountain Dew. Initially, reception to the beverage was strong, its appeal faded by the early 2000s.

You can buy the beverage on Amazon here.

Oh, and the unlucky woman who uncapped the bottle? Yeah, her younger sister has cerebral palsy and autism. Superb job, Coca-Cola. Really, you're great...

India and Pakistan do not like each other.

Ever since their split in 1947, the two countries have had a relationship that is angry at it's best, and deadly at it's worst. Pretty much any small glimmer of cooperation or communication between the two countries would be a step in the right direction.

Enter Coca-Cola, an unlikely diplomat in the conflict. Coca-Cola placed two vending machines with two-way displays at heavily populated points in Lahore, Pakistan, and New Delhi, India, through which people could wave to each other, make funny faces, dance, and trace peace symbols and happy faces too.

Whether it's genuine humanity or a cheesy publicity stunt, I think it's safe to say that anything positive between these two feuding nations is good, so maybe the soda behemoth deserves the benefit of the doubt.
