..are you my long lost brother
all my siblings prefer root beer,even some of my relatives.it sickens me.
Not that I'm aware of...and considering I'm probably close in age to your parents...I doubt it.
...And Root Beer,IMO, just taste better...not as "sweet" as coke of Pepsi.
@ Chibi...
Yup, back in the "early days" Coke was definatly a " pick me up".

I didn't like the Teddy one when I saw it... But the Santa one is AWESOME. First time I saw that one TV and he goes to the bar and the guy pulls out the Cokes I kind of thought yeah, Santa=Coke. Then they pulled the switch and it was great. I laughed quite well at that one.
Oh, and I prefer Diet Cherry Pepsi, but I'll drink the Diet Cherry Coke as well. Non-Cherries will do in a pinch, and I'll drink non-Diet Pepsi, but non-Diet Coke is just Bad to me.
It's like Jar-Jar Binks and the autobot twins, more examples of clueless white people with nobody to tell them they're fething up. Beside, Pepsi rules!!!
oh,you know. in a basement...cooking ponies into cupcakes....

They probably recorded the bears first then added the Pepsi cans with photoshop.
I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few 'shops in my time.

C: It's a well known fact that Coke used to be sold as medicine, due to the fact that it contained cocaine. I wouldn't know personally, , but from what I have heard you really don't feel a headache when you're under the influence of that stuff.
Until it starts to wear off, anyway.

Cocaine is expensive as gak, they would be losing money if they put enough in to cause some sort of addiction.
Coca cola was originally sold for medicinal purposes and the main two medicinal ingredients were kola nuts and coca leaves, cocaine is derived from ecgonine which is found in coca leaves so by extension at some point the active ingredient of cocaine was indeed in coke - however as social acceptability of cocaine and coca leaves declined the amount of coca leaves used in the recipe also declined but could not be removed as the law at the time only allowed the company to retain the name coca cola if the drink contained coca.

Polar bears are actually black. They have black skin. No joke.
The white fur lets light through which warms the black skin underneath. Evolution does interesting things.
So tell her you're offended shes too ignorant to know polar bears are considered white when theyre really black and just wear white fur to blend in(with the snow....).

It's estimated that the original coke formula contained about 9 milligrams of cocaine per class, so 3 glasses per day would be close to 30 milligrams a day, which is the equivilent to the amount "snorted" by contemporary cocaine users.
Plus the presence of caffeine increases the effects of cocaine...so, pretty good bet that lots of folk in the early 1900's were indeed "buzzing".

The fur isn't white either, it is totally transparent but trapped air or something makes it appear white.

That could explain why everyone moves the way they do in those early movies.

This add just stinks, it's implied racial aspect is merely there, not really a caricature. I absolve myself of either drink. I'm a Dr. Pepper/Lost Trail Root Beer man myself (although a lot less now since I have ditched soda for more water consumption).

In the context of our discussion that video was absolutely side splitting...and clearly illustrates why, in the early half of the 20 century, Coke was "The Real thing".
