Quote from the memo: “”When you look at the most recognized brands throughout the world, such as Coke or Apple, for instance . . .”

Huh?

Coke is to Coca Cola what Chevy is to Chevrolet.

This idea has liberal mind all over it. Most people would ask what is a chevrolet.

Coke is to Coca Cola

LOL nice I just skimmed right over that

Coke is to Coca Cola what Chevy is to Chevrolet.

Heh.. My first thought exactly.

Also, GM has spent about a zillion dollars during the past three years or so on TV commercials with Howie Long saying, "It's a Chevy". Now GM is folding that tent? That's the government for you...

Not to mention that Apple Macintosh -er- the Mac.

Dumb farks!

Coke is to Coca Cola what Chevy is to Chevrolet.

And Apple Computer makes the Mac, short for Macintosh but EVERYone knows what you are talking about when you say you have a 'mac laptop'. Whoever wrote this memo is a moron.

My thoughts exactly. What a doofus! Although, here in Texas (Houston specifically) it’s

Coke = Coca Cola
Coke = Dr. Pepper
Coke = Pepsi
Coke = Sprite
Coke = Mountain Dew

The usual is “Wanna coke?” “Sure” “What kind?” “Dr. Pepper” “Sure, here ya go” “thanks!”
