It is, of course, satire and I would DEFINITELY NOT recommend or condone anyone copying it and emailing it to everyone they know, especially the people they know who will almost certainly pass it on to everyone in their address book, even if Coca Cola have been blatantly nicking the ideas of fellow b3tans. So please DO NOT PASS THIS ON TO OTHER PEOPLE, PRETENDING THAT IT IS TRUE!
FW: Coca Cola Warning – please read!
FDA try to ban Coca Cola!
I don’t want to scare anyone but this information has come from a friend of mine who is actually a governmental food safety scientist so I thought this was worth passing on. If you know anyone who drinks Coca Cola, please also pass it on to them so they are warned as well.
Apparently the FDA were considering banning Coca Cola earlier this year after a whistle-blower high up in the Coca-Cola Corporation passed them information which is generally kept secret. Both the whistle blower and the FDA scientist who tried to bring this information to light have been fired and may even be subject to prosecution due to the political pressure to avoid another large scandal involving a huge corporation and the possible damage to the economy like what happened with Enron.
Part of the information came from the Norwegian Health and Safety Authority (AHS) who last year closed down a large Coca Cola plant, fined the company $4,700,000, recalled all Coca Cola products from the market and are currently considering banning the company from selling in their country permanently.
The Norwegian site was closed down due to several things found when their inspectors visited the site:
• Company toilet seats being washed in the same machines used for washing parts of the industrial mixers, bowls etc. used for making Coca Cola products.
• The process of ‘fining’ (removal of cloudiness from the product) was carried out using proteins derived from cow blood – a practice which has been banned in Europe for well over a decade due to the chance of passing on BSE – Mad cow disease. This practice is still legal in the US.
• The lining of Coca Cola cans uses recycled plastic from polyethylene trepththalate (PET) which contains diethylhydroxylamine (DEHA) which is a known carcinogen. Both these things are discouraged by the FDA, which is why you see warnings not to re-use plastic mineral water bottles.
• The fungicide used in the lining of the cans and also in minute quantities to preserve the cola itself is known by its brand name of Acesulfame K (you can even see it on the list of ingredients!). The Norwegian chemists determined that it was actually a derivative of the herbicide 2-4-D….also known as Agent Orange.
• Customer complaints not being reported to the government safety authorities – the main breach being several complaints about people contracting Leptospirose poisoning from drinking Coca Cola straight from the can. It turns out that the pest control was not adequate in their warehouses and rats were leaving traces of urine on the cans stored there. Fortunately, nobody died…but doctors say that it was really only a matter of time.
The scariest thing is that the practices and procedures used at this site were the standard Coca Cola corporation procedures used all over the world. Unfortunately, the FDA (and presumably the authorities in other countries) do not really do anything about this as the Coca Cola corporation is so huge and pays so much money to politicians to support political parties, money to lobby and pressure groups and even pays large yearly fines to the FDA to allow them to make false calorie claims on their cans – as they believe that the money made from selling “low calorie” versions of Coke is worth more than the fines they pay for misleading labelling.
Most companies would be prosecuted for repeated breaches of the FDA labelling laws but Coca Cola corporation can apply so much political pressure that these things are swept under the rug and ignored.
I don’t know about you, but I’m really put off from drinking Coca Cola any more! And I shall definitely be telling people why. Please send this to your friends and loved ones who may otherwise be drinking Coke without knowing some of what really goes on!

No, but if you want to use some special characters (like the humblem question mark) then you'll need to know the url hexcode for it. URL encoding is different from HTML you see. Hexcodes are the future.

Weals disease is another one that you can get by drinking from bottles/cans that have rat piss on.
Never drink bottled beer from a pub as the bottles wil generally have been left outside. And they are a f***ing rip off.
