quotations about Coca-Cola
When Coca-Cola begins selling organic Coke, as it surely will, the company will have struck a blow for the environment perhaps, but not for our health. Most consumers automatically assume that the word "organic" is synomymous with health, but it makes no difference to your insulin metabolism if the high-fructose corn syrup in your soda is organic.

In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto
Travel where you will, anywhere in the world, and you will encounter Coca-Cola -- on clothes, in signs, on packaging, in art -- everywhere.

I don't need to know how they make Coca-Cola. I think it tastes just fine not knowing what the ingredients are. I think there are some things that should be kept secret.

One real bottle of Coca-Cola, the first one I have seen here. It was pulled out from under the shirt of the pilot.... He caressed it, his eyes rolled over it, he smacked his lips at the prospect of tasting it. I offered him one dollar for half of it, then two, three, and five dollars.

If I eat 2,700 calories a day, a quarter of that is Coca-Cola.

She likes to get down, sippin' on Coke and Crown
Jesus and gypsy soul
Yeah, that's how she rocks, that's how she rolls

I need an old Corvette with the top down
And a backseat for my friends
I need baseball and apple pie to feel alive
Gimme a Coca-Cola sundae and a Beach Boy's serenade
I need freedom to be all around the world
DEANA CARTER
"I'm Just a Girl"
The only biodiversity we're going to have left is Coke versus Pepsi. We're landscaping the whole world one stupid mistake at a time.
CHUCK PALAHNIUK
Lullaby
Jack in my coke's got me dizzy dizzy
Radio rockin' with maybe Freddy daddy
Oh oh it's the Saturday night
She shake it so sweet you got me on a sugar high
And I don't know if it's you or the whiskey
That's got me feeling all tipsy tipsy

Imagine a smashed stained-glass window, a page torn from a Bible, or a snippet of choral singing. You would still recognize their religious roots, wouldn't you? In 1915, Coca-Cola designed a bottle so unique that if it were smashed into thousands of pieces, from a single shard of glass you'd still be able recognize the brand. We call such a device a Smashable. It can be anything from a color to a sound, from a pattern to a smell to an icon.

I'm still living the life where you get home and open the fridge and there's half a pot of yogurt and a half a can of flat Coca-Cola.

Just like this Coke my love is gone.
BUDDY HOLLY
"An Empty Cup"
We go together like two straws in a coke
Why not come over, and you'll meet my folks
Let's go steady, you are my first love
THE MOONGLOWS
"We Go Together"
I don't mind 800 million Chinese drinking a bottle [of Coca-Cola] a day, but I don't want them to bring back the empties.
ART BUCHWALD
The Buchwald Stops Here
A front porch light and a blue DeSoto
Couple of straws in a Coca-Cola
You could see it all goin' down
A handsome boy in army green
A tear on his face, down on a knee
Shaky voice, a diamond ring
She'll put you in that town
Tomorrow she won't remember what she did today
But just ask her about Ellsworth, Kansas, 1948
RASCAL FLATTS
"Ellsworth"
Under the oaks I was telling some jokes
And thinkin' I had it made
Gettin' on with the folks, havin' some Coke
And coolin' off in the shade
ZZ TOP
"Shiek", Tres Hombres
I remember circlin' the drive-in,
pullin' up and turnin' down George Jones
I remember when no one was lookin'
I was puttin' peanuts in my Coke
BARBARA MANDRELL
"I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool"
There's no question that the Coca-Cola Company loves its own history. As if to prove the point, in 1990 it spent $15 million on its Atlanta museum, which indoctrinates over 3,000 Coca-Cola-drenched tourists daily into the company's high-tech version of its past. The press release on opening day called the museum a "fantasyland." In more ways than one, it is just that. The red-clad, clean-cut young guides assure visitors, for instance, that Coca-Cola never had any cocaine in it.

What would she have? Coke, said Annie. And when she tasted the familiar drink, how much less scary the world was, and how much less frightening her task.

There'll never be any revolution. Humanity has bartered it for Coca-Cola and cable television.
