Posted from a blog, it's my understanding FOX has covered this, but I couldn't find it.

PLENTY of other sodas out there to drink.

Oh yeah, Christian boycotts don’t work. Can anyone say “Ford”?

They probably think that Santa Clause "counts" as a Christian religious symbol. They do a special Santa can promotion every Christmas.

I am so glad I quit drinking coke back in '94-'95, when the switch to HFCS from sugar made it taste awful.

[Note: I've found no evidence that the company plans to focus any efforts on Hannukah or any other Jewish holiday.]

Every year Coke produces "Kosher for Passover" Coke using the old, sucrose formula.

Sad thing is, my favorite soft drink is Barq’s Root Beer, which is now owned by Coke. I’m sure I can learn to love A&W or Mug instead.

Turn can clockwise, and lay on it's side.

The can shows a Islamic crescent, over the Mediterranean, with the Israel coast. The mountain, is a unified Palestine with no Gaza or West Bank.

Maybe someone can do the leg work and super impose 'Palestine' over the 'mountain'.

I predict a big demand for ‘em. People will love to pink those cans for target practice.

Can we have one with Osamma’s face on it?

Fast all day. Feast all night. Only religion where people gain weight during a fast.

Can they drink Coke during Ramadan?

Can they drink Coke during Ramadan?

Probably after sunset (and before sunrise?).
At least my feeble understanding from some Muslims I worked with
was that the "fast" during Ramadan was during daylight hours.

Does anyone know if these cans are included in twelve packs and cases randomly or are they all equally marked?
We enjoy Coke, but prefer not to have any mulim symbols in my home uninvited, so I need to know.

Returning them after purchase might be a pain.

It was on FNC - I can tell you now that I’ve been drinking Diet Coke for years....if these a$$holes do this without then putting the cross on a can vs the Bear, or even a Star of David during the holy days - then I guess I’ll just have to switch to iced tea (that I make....) this chaps me big time....
