I do like the song sung by Jose Feliciano.

I always thought the name of the song was "Police Nab Me Dad."

OK so I’ve done some poking around and it looks like this year’s Christmas cokes are running the same pattern as last year. The bottle are spherical and they look kind of like Christmas tree ornaments. On the front over the logo in the same place they said “Holiday 2008” in non-exiting font last year they say “Holiday 2009” in a similarly non-exiting font this year. On the back is a series of images ranging from the Coke Santa to the Coke polar bear and various other stuff. It looks like the “Holiday 2009”, much like last year’s “Holiday 2008” is just a series designator, basically saying these are the 2009 holiday season bottles, because other than that the front part of the bottle is the same old Coke logo.

If you should ever pick up Diet Coke’s Ramadan version, don’t pull the tab.

I just got one. Why should't it pull the t ....

Coke is bad for you.
Pepsi is bad for you.

Why drink either?

I get all the caffeine I need from generic coffee, tea, iced tea and ... my favorite ... Ikea dark chocolate.

Maybe they did their marketing research and found that Feliz Navidad/Merry Christmas was important to hispanics and that English speaking people didn’t care.

OTH, I just saw some kind of “holiday” celebration and it was called Beach Blanket Babylon...disgusting.

I usually tell people I know Merry Christmas - but if I’m feeling cheeky, it’s usually Happy Kwana-hana-Christmas-za.

The only Holiday that dare not speak its name.

But all corporation have no qualms about sponsoring Gay Pride Month.

I wish they’d just get it over with and label it:

“White Men Suck 2009!”

But, then you’ve got the gay lobby to worry about . . .

The NGAACP would pipe up and say, “HEY, we suck too!!”

“and ... my favorite ... Ikea dark chocolate.”

You eat overpriced Sweedish furniture? What are you, a termite?

*Is it that Hispanics lack the diversity of religious beliefs and secular viewpoints that exist in the English-speaking population?*

Yes.

Next question?

Ramadan Coke exists, btw. I've seen it many times in the middle east. Hindu Coke exists, too.
