Re: What happened...
Lol! Any idea where I can download the coca cola christmas trucks advert music? I fancy a new ringtone
What I also used to love is the 90's BBC Christmas idents (proper christmassy themes for BBC one and two's logos. Not as christmassy any more due to political correctness. I wonder what they will do with BBC One's circles theme... Anyone taking bets on boubels?

Re: What happened...
f**k off is it anything but immoral encouraging kids to drink s**t that has to have a hazchem warning when it's transported in its undiluted form by tanker. Caffeine is seriously bad for you, notwithstanding the other nasties in that drink.
Ban it altogether? No, I'm against that in principle. Remove the conditioning that the drink is "cool"? Damn fudgekin right.

Milk has to have a hazchem warning though... I thought any liquid/gas had to have the warning on...
Coke is a cool drink, I'd rather kids drunk copious amounts of Coke than Bacardi Breezers and Vodka bruv.

dontpannic :Milk has to have a hazchem warning though... I thought any liquid/gas had to have the warning on...
technically yes, any biological liquid has to carry a haz-chem warning but thats not the point. look at it this way . can milk dissolve a t-bone steak in 12 hours? Can milk dissolve teeth in 24 hours? and thats when its diluted.
but lets just think about the meaning of haz-chem for a minute. Chemical Hazard. meaning something that could pose a risk to human life if released into a river or something similar. now although milk has to carry a warning you could pour gallon after gallon of milk into a river and do little to no damage. pour in (undiluted) coke and you risk destroying an entire eco-system.
maybe im rambling, maybe im talking out of my ass but i agree with Grant. its wrong to pitch such a (for want of a better word) dangerous drink to kids.

I'm sure, if it was as dangerous as you say, the health freaks and ecologists would ban it would they not? I've been drinking it for years, and it hasn't affected me in the slightest
Seriously though, if it was that bad surely it wouldn't be on the shelves, and there'd be some kind of side effects of drinking it.

health freaks and ecologists have been all over it for years trying to get it banned. and maybe i was over-exaggerating when i said you could destroy an eco system but it could easily cause a fair amount of damage.
also just because its damaging doesnt mean it will get removed from shelves. cigarette anyone?

Coke *does* clean corroded copper Capri fusebox terminals in under 30 seconds, however.
