There are also 1 litre bottles that I almost never buy, especially because of something I am going to explain. A large bottle costs EXACTLY AS MUCH as a small bottle. That isn't the worst, though. The worst is that I've actually seen people buying the small bottles.

Speaking of Coke, I really can't stand those Coca-Cola ads where they try to push their beverage with patriotism.

Not just because the US of A really has little to thank the soft drink for, but it's a step backwards from the universal brotherhood embodied in their earlier "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" campaign.

Not that soda helps promote world peace, either. Maybe their next attempt to push the stuff will involve scenes of the U.N. member nations solving all international disputes by realizing that, hey, they all like Coke, and that's what really matters...
