1. Where did you obtain something like that?
Are you on a border-town? And does it taste the same as American Cola-Cola?

13. No cocaine, just cane sugar.
American coke uses high fructose corn syrup. It DOES taste differently.

14. No, actually.
When I'm in a questionable water area of mexico without iodine tablets, I drink nothing but coke. The water has to be safe before it's bottled, else the coke would ferment (eeewwww....). Bottling is like canning - high heat to produce a sterile atmosphere.

8. Maybe it has real cane sugar in it
instead of corn syrup. I've heard it's still made and it's much better.

10. Did you know CocaCola kills Colombian Union leaders ?
Listed below are union leaders at Coca-Cola's Colombian bottling plants who have been murdered. Hundreds of other Coke workers have been tortured, kidnapped and/or illegally detained by violent paramilitaries, often working closely with plant managements.

Here's another:

City Council Delegation to Colombia Reports on Human Rights Claims Against Coca-Cola

"The independent delegation, composed of educational and union representatives, was led by New York City Council member Hiram Monserrate, Co-Chair of the Black, Latino and Asian Caucus. His team spent 10 days visiting sites around Colombia, where Coca-Cola’s bottling plants and its subsidiaries, Panamco/FEMSA, have been held accountable for using paramilitary forces to suppress union movements."
