Dont screw with that coke man!....

[krossfyter]

I was just curious if anyone else heard about this... In some articles, they are basically saying it's pure rumor. But since 9/11 they said the next "attack" was going to be 9/11 once again... A few people reported middle easterns telling them not to drink the coke. Warning them... (for whatever reason.) But since it's a he said, she said ordeal, they are considering it a rumor. I found it interesting though, not saying it's true, not saying it isn't. Thought some of you would find it interesting as well...




coke is it (http://www.wacotrib.com/news/newsfd/auto/feed/news/2002/08/28/1030592818.21102.2014.0050.html)

It sounds like a load of crap to me but if I suddenley stop posting you'll know what happened :rolleyes: ;)

[krossfyter]

a troll stopped you?!!;)


but yeah... "a load of crap" seems about where this rumor is headed fast.

I consider Bin Laden to be a troll ;)

[G4scott]

they'd have to do a lot of work to do something to coca-cola... it's bottled/made all over the world/US. There's no way that they could do something to the entire nation like this. Of course, I would expect security at bottling plants that service populated areas to be more alert...

[King Cobra]

The article mentions nothing about Pepsi! :D

>I consider Bin Laden to be a troll ;)

S*tan is a what? I think that's putting it lightly. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I think people these days are going nuts about every f[E]king occurance that is out of the ordinary. I think people need to be calm and security needs to be hyped to the max on 9/11 to comfort everyone's feelings.

There's an old saying:

"Anticipation of death is worse than death itself."

Kinda makes me think the destruction, chaos and mayhem created by the dickheads last year had an alterior motive - there may not be another attack, but the fear of one may be just what they were looking for in the first place. Don't give the bastards the satisfaction.

Just the same, they'd better not mess with my coke supply - I can't function properly without my "black Berocca" (the Aussies and Kiwis will understand...).

[Mr. Anderson]

It would much easier to put something in the water supply than to mess around with adding something in coke. But since I don't drink it, I'm not that worried.

But I expect there to be plenty of rumors flying next week....

Salon ran an interview with a person that has been debunking such myths. Here is the Salon interview (it may be a premium only feature...)

Here is what "drop-drawers" thinks about all these rumors: :D

and here's what "rolf" thinks about that attachment.. :D

[King Cobra]

Aw, damn. This is so funny I accidently took a screenshot of the whole thing! :D :p

Do you think police/authoirities are really paying attention to these rumors? Scratchy and I would like to know.

[job]

I think the Spanish Inquisition's got it covered! ;) :D

(This is smilie is not an original of mine. Just wanted to point that out.)

[job]

I read on CNN that there was a bomb threat in Turkey.

The police arrested a couple that had a couple hundred pounds of explosives packed in a van.

They apparently wanted to bomb an American military base on 9/11.

[King Cobra]

So far, I'm liking that. It looks like security is doing all right.

King Cobra has attached this image:









[Uh, I don't have a slap-happy smiley on me right now. :D]

here are a few that i ripped off of another forum... :D

another...

i think that this thread is turning into...

[vniow]

Stole this one too. :D

[diorio]

The resteraunt I work at, serves pepsi, so I'm not too worried. The whole coke thing sounds pretty far fetched anyways.

[big]

sitting in class, a classmate says her friends grandmother gave 20 cents to a middle easterner to pay for his groceries... afterwards he went up to her in the parking lot and said
"no one has ever done anything like that for me, thank you"

she replies
"it was just 20 cents"

then he replied
"here's a tip for you since you helped me out, don't drink any cola products after 9/11/03"

[rainman::|:|]

Come on people, i keep telling you to check Snopes... This particular legend has been around since late last year, as well as about a hundred others:

http://www.snopes.com/rumors/cocacola.htm

Snopes does a good job of invesigating, provides references, and puts a psychological reasoning in a lot of cases...

That is a very cool site, a little browsing brought up all sorts of goodies. Thanks paulwhannel!

And I happened to find this real picture there in the photo section.

Oh so it's a resteraunt now ,huh? :p

As for the coke thing, I don't see how they could poison every bottling plant that serves the US.

[big]

our water plants are a bigger concern, as well as ports & harbors....

what about cigarettes? what if they poisened those two? and what about our minds? everyone's a litle unedgy already, I think our minds have been poisened and we might as well just be smited off the face of the planet.

or maybe not, pending what the question was.

Oh yeah, sure, i'll bet you're one of those people that like blue pepsi. Blah.

Though i'll admit it does taste a bit like they dissolved vanilla lipgloss in a vat of coke... still...

I don't know, them McDonalds hot&spicy chicken sandwiches are might tasty.

[King Cobra]

Durandal, how greg damn bored do you get during the weekends anyways? Since the poll option is gone, you have to bring up old threads? :rolleyes: :D :eek: :p

It's not that old. Besides, it would be kind of silly to post a thread about chicken sandwiches.

[krossfyter]

ahhh your brought this thread back from the dead?

ahhhh!

[King Cobra]

Well, you're right. Better resurrect the near month old dead rather than bring to life sandwiches. :D

There's no telling what havoc sandwiches could cause :eek: It's best to just have undead coke roaming the boards instead.

Yea, this has a lot less of a reason then when you replied to an old thread to say "dig it man" or "rock on." :p

This thread has a point to be ressurected, it is discussing chicken sandwiches.

Not even if they're good and spicy ones?

All this talk is making me hungry.

[King Cobra]

Well, Duran, you did mention McDonalds.

I used to be a huge fan of drive through food orders since like up to about four months ago. But, one day, I decided I had enough of Burger King, and dropped getting food there. Eventually, my parents decided to get food on the go from MD. I had some terrible stomach problems the following couple of days. And I decided "******* drive through take out food altogether." I refuse to eat indoors/outdoors at any BK or MD anymore, even if I were paid to do it. That would be like being a patient in drug testing. :puke:

[Durandal7]

Back to the threads topic, I guess al-qaeda didn't poison the coke :p

[King Cobra]

>All this talk is making me hungry.

I'm not hungry right now. I just had two BBQ'd burgers and that basically filled me up. I also tried a 60 percent diluted version of the A1 sauce with the prong of my dinner fork...Motherf**ker! Even with a majority of the solution being water a tiny sample fired my tongue right away. Mom paid dearly by dipping part of a bread roll/bun into the sauce and tried to wipe most of it off. She was like "H*** SH**!!" :D

You don't see that at any Gd McDonalds. :p

[krossfyter]

i just had 5 chicken strips and 4 chicken tenders. mmmm i love chicken.


:D

[King Cobra]

Congratulations on 3000!

Celebrate with another strip and then go to one. :eek: :D^2 :p

krossfyter,

I promise not to interfere with whatever you are considering doing with the coke man...

Now the coke divas are a different story altogether.
