Words of wisdom pt 2

Here is a brief lesson that life has just taught me: -

If you mix Cillit Bang, Cif Oxy Gel, Fairy Power Spray and Detol Multi-Action spray in order to clean stubborn bathroom tiles then wear gloves (or better yet do't do it.)

As I type this my entire body is covered in blotches, lumps and blisters. It is not nice

Finding a new coke dealer

I have decided to stop drinking products from Coca Cola. The reasons are two fold. Firstly that much diet coke cannot be good for me and I think I was developing a mild caffeine addiction. Secondly I have learned about some of the things the coca cola corporation, it's affiliates and contractors have done. These include: -

  • Hiring paramilitary death squads to murder and torture union members at bottling plants in Colombia.
  • Causing local water shortages in regions of India.
  • Selling lead and cadmium bearing toxic factory byproducts as fertilizer.
  • Selling tap water as mineral water.
  • Cutting donations to schools that fail to sell enough fizzy drinks to their pupils.
  • Creating that awful red and white Santa Claus image.
  • Using 3 litres of water to make every litre of coke.
I have to say that giving up drinking the products made by Coca Cola has proved a bit of a wrench but a friend has introduced me to Whole Earth Organic Cola and it certainly helping. Whole Earth Cola contains all natural ingredients and doesn't taste bad. Unfortunately it is not helping my caffeine cravings.

If Coca Cola can demonstrate any of the above fact are incorrect I will happily correct them.
