Oh, Brother.

Named after Obama?

Tell the marketers to explore, “Moose Cola.”

This thread was worthless without pictures!

Too late. They should have marketed this last spring when all the graduating seniors were referring to themselves as the class of “007”

Can he get that drink shaken, not stirred? If so, fret not.

The company hopes the marketing strategy will make Coke Zero - which is a sugar-free version of Coca-Cola - more appealing to men.

Even beer became lighter. The most successful new beers were diet beers, with all the body of Diet Shasta. To cloud men’s minds lest they think there might be something effeminate about diet beer, the advertisers presented it on television in commercials that always showed the thin brew in the mitts of some famous jock who walked with a rolling sprung-thigh gait, as if he had two kegs of Dortmunder Dark suspended from his inguinal canal.

I guess Craig must have gotten that gay makeout scene he was hoping for...

I somehow doubt that they’re just gonna dump the martinis. Bond can drink as much as he wants; he builds up quite a thirst.

By the way, I have no problem with Craig drinking a woman’s drink, nor with him being blond. But he’s not suave like Connery/Moore/Brosnan. He’s rather craggy-looking (pun intended), like a boxer. Not my cup of vodka-martini.

Never happen. If it ain't got cane sugar, it ain't Coca Cola.

H***. I rather have the vodka martini. At least, you get a benefit from drinking it, rather than the drain cleaner Coke Zero is.

Why Not call it Obama... All the flavor... none of the substance... bad for you.....

This is just plain wrong.

Simply amazing.

I can't wait until some fringe group of zealots decide that everything is bad except water and carrots.

His license to kill will be replaced with a license to perform conflict resolution.
LOL!!!

I think Bond is about to ‘jump the shark’, if you ask me. This new Bond is such a girly-man.

[SlapHappyPappy]

I’ve read several of these articles and I get the distinct feeling that he’s not really replacing the martinis. They just happen to be doing some marketing tied to the film.
