You're going to have to answer to the Coca-Cola company.
I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke Commercial - 1971In Honor Of Socialists Everywhere!

Might as well shut down. I bet they haven’t served Cuba Libre there since the Communists seized power under Chavez.

“One Coke.”
“Hey that’s 50,000 bolivars!”

“Well I ain’t paying no 50,000 bolivars for no Coke.”
“Oh ho, then you ain’t getting no Coke. Know what I’m talking about?”
Socialism works! Vote Bernie or Hitlary!

Something tells me this is not the pause that refreshes.
Don’t understand. Venezuela is best buds with Cuba and if nothing else Cuba has sugar. I guess when you run out of money you have no friends. Ain’t Socialism grand.
