mixing orange pop and coke and iced tea = sex

[QUOTE=sonicreducer]what will i drink then?[/QUOTE]
i drink soda that's made by a local/regional manufacturer, if i ever drink it at all - which isn't much. special occassions, or sometimes i'll buy a two liter of ginger ale or something. soda is too pervasive, especially with kids. and coca cola has a long history of employee abuse (domestic and abroad), civil rights abuses abroad, environmental devastation, and megalomaniacal corporate politicking.

[QUOTE=Tyler]mixing orange pop and coke and iced tea = sex[/QUOTE]
see? i told you people sex ed was bad in this country

It tastes good, I'll continue to drink it.

Orange Soda and Mountain Dew is the only soda that really does much for me. Of course, I do enjoy an occasional Sprite.

I think I like almost all carbonated beverages. Mainly for the fact that they are carbonated. The tingly sensation is why I drink them. But the dentist recently told me not to drink any more soda ever.



Now drinking: Mountain Dew

How does coca cola abuse employees?

Kool-Aid > Soda

On June 19, 2001 Coca Cola's juice producer fired a worker, employed there 30 years, after he alerted a USDA inspector of a dead rat found under a Minute Maid orange juice capping machine.

Trade union leaders in the United States have said they are suing the soft-drinks company Coca-Cola for allegedly hiring right-wing death squads to terrorize workers at its Colombian bottling plant.

The suit alleges that Coca-Cola and Panamerican Beverages, its principal bottler in Latin America, waged what union leaders describe as a campaign of terror, using paramilitaries to kill, torture and kidnap union leaders in Colombia.

The suit charges that Coca-Cola "contracted with or otherwise directed paramilitary security forces that utilized extreme violence and murdered, tortured, unlawfully detained or otherwise silenced trade union leaders."

In a 66-page complaint presented at a news conference in Bogota, the Colombian union Sinaltrainal alleges that Coca-Cola bears indirect responsibility for the killing of Isidro Segundo Gil, a union leader shot dead on 5 December 1996.

The plaintiffs will cite the Alien Tort Claims Act, a centuries-old law which allows foreigners to sue US companies for damages caused abroad.

More than 50 union leaders have been killed in Colombia in 2001, 128 in 2000, and more than 1,500 in the 10 years prior, according to the complaint.

----------------------------------------------------------------------


In November 2000, Coca-Cola settled a class-action lawsuit by paying a record $192.5 million in settlements. The company was charged with racial discrimination, allegedly denying African Americans adequate pay, promotions, and performance evaluations. The lawsuit was filed by four past and current employees, ranging from a security guard to a former executive, on behalf of as many as 2,000 black employees who currently work for or have had salaried positions at Coca-Cola throughout the United States since April 1985. The plaintiffs claimed that Coca-Cola paid its average black employee nearly $27,000 a year less than its average white employee and limited black workers' chances for promotion.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

In 1996, Coca-Cola brought in Cutrale Citrus Juices USA, a subsidiary of Brazil-based Sucocitrico Cutrale Ltd., to produce Minute Maid and Hi-C juice products in Florida. Since the operational changeover, workers in Auburndale have reported to Coca-Cola that rats are prevalent throughout the plant, pigeon feathers and droppings have been found on conveyor belts, roaches swarm juice feed tanks, and mold grows inside production lines that are not shut down regularly for cleaning.

Conditions were so bad by January 2000 that workers initiated their own quality control reporting system and ultimately went on strike to protest unsafe conditions. After ignoring workers' warnings and a failed Florida Department of Agriculture Food Safety Inspection, Coca-Cola was forced to recall Hi-C products produced at the Auburndale plant in February 2000.

Since Coke turned over operations to Cutrale, there has been:
* A failed Florida Department of Agriculture Food Safety inspection that cited 30 violations including: filth from floor buildup on food containers, flaky paint on ceilings over tanks and mold on ceilings and walls;

* Two major chemical leaks which caused plant evacuations and shutdowns, worker hospitalizations and complaints of air pollution;

* A worker killed on the job in an electrical accident; and,

* Citations by the Occupation Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for 15 violations, including 13, determined to be "serious". OSHA penalized the plant on 10 separate occasions for violations in 1999-2000.


Currently, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection in Orlando is considering whether to pull Cutrale's operating permit in Leesburg because of high nitrate levels in the wastewater. Nitrate levels on some days are reportedly twice the state standard. Local residents have complained about smell and the danger of nitrate seepage into ground water.




there's plenty more, including lots of other things they do that aren't directly related to abuses of their employees. but those are the employee abuses i can find right quick.
