The Bwog
Free Coke Just Off-Campus
Previous Post | Next Post

Possibly in response to the recent "Kick Coke off Campus" event, the Coca-Cola corporation has pulled up an old-school truck to Broadway Between 115th and 116th, and is playing lively music (Rakim at one point) and giving away vintage 8.5-ounce glass bottles (the rep says it's the 1901 design) of their main product.

Find your love for Coke here. Find your hate for them here.

Coke had cocaine instead of caffeine, so this trip might be worth it.

coke and all conventional soda with all that high fructose corn syrup will just make you fat. try something like GUS if you want the real stuff. seriously it's worth it. you can actually identify and understand the ingredients.

try some fruit juice, beer, or, you know, water? cane syrup isn't exactly great for you.

It seems like those Columbian death squads were led to the wrong type of Coke plant.

dear coke,

thanks for poisoning the clean water supply in india and buying up the rest so the workers in your bottling factories use coke to brush their teeth instead of water, because it's cheaper.

delicious!

I don't know about your allegations, but I hardly think Coca Cola is singularly responsible for poisoning the clean water supply in India. What do you think the Ganges is filled with? Sprite?
