Mathlouti has even sold a container of Mecca Cola to a distributor in Detroit and said that discussions are currently underway for expanded distribution in various U.S. states. That'll last. If I see this garbage on a shelf, I'll be walking out of the store with a pocketful of Mecca-Cola caps.

I am gonna have a laugh when we find out that Mecca cola is owned by Jews :P
To: Tailgunner Joe
The left again defines not what they are for or what they offer but by being against. This is of course capitalism.

Coke will just buy him out.

Most products made with political intent are of sub-par quality in the idea that ideology will trump any flaws. However, some people are willing to overlook that to support a cause.
A gay friend of mine reports that Pride Beer -- a beer marketed specifically towards the homosexual community -- was the worst beer he's ever tried. But (checking the Internet) it's still on the market, after several years, so politics can make sales.

Spread a rumour that Mecca cola is owned by Jews who add pork products into it and he is done :~)

The song that was played in the song was the guitar into to Van Halen's "Beautiful Girls". Go figure.

France, that economic powerhouse, brings out its big gun - a cola you can't drink with booze.
To: eastsider
"Mathlouti gives 20 percent of his net profits to charities, including 10 percent to organizations helping Palestinian children and 10 percent to local charities in the countries where the sales originate."
No way any of this is getting into the hands of terrorists, right? I don't expect anyone will do anything about it either, it's not like we are at war with islamic terrorism or anything.

Let's hope that greed keeps the money in Mathlouti's pocket and not in the coffers of the terrorists.
To: Russ
Wonder if he will have the gall to try to market it in America?

Re the Mecca Cola factory in Casablanca... so THAT'S where they put the WMD!!!!
Have any of you ever TASTED those "off-off" brands of cola??? At my local supermarket the kids who do the bagging say those brands taste like gasoline!
To: CarmelValleyite
I don't know about the taste, but I heard that Camel Sweat Mecca Cola was Saddam's favorite soft drink.
