food4thought It seems that a lot of Bloggers Like Coke :)

Whacky Of all of them Coke is a temptation for me...Not much of one

star4you A parodox I recently read said that Japanese People smoke
a lot of cigs, yet remain one of the healthiest of cultures.  I suppose other lifestyle choices come into effect.

i think mankind naturally gravitates toward mind and body altering
substances.   if not for laws, the list might read marijuanoro, coke original (the real original) and opium lite.

well, I don't drink, and I do not drink much soda, I do smoke, not as much as I used to and I used to be a BIG coffee hound but I am down to about 2 cups a day...so what's the stats.s? I got about a week to live or what? :)

Mysteria...
I have never smoked, I don't drink much anymore, but I do like Coke, but I am avoiding it for reasons of caffiene and sodium avoidance.  When you try to eat sodium free is when you realize just how much salt is in everything we eat, no wonder blood pressure drugs are a growth industry, I wonder if any of the "big three" own the company that makes Norvasc and such?

Joe_Love You're right, it is odd that a coffee brand isn't representing
caffeine.  In my mind I sure can see that CocaCola logo nice and clear though!

It's tough being a mere mortal bel_1965...There are waaaaaaay too many temptations out there for anyone to go a whole lifetime without faultering!  Ahhhh!

They are addicting - all 3...
They're giving us lung disease, excess body fat, and alcohol problems....so that's bad, right?

I'm surprised it wouldn't be Maxwell House instead of Coca Cola. . . ,
at least for a product representing Caffiene.

I don't like beer so that is not a problem for me
I prefer Pepsi over coke and as for the Marlboro's....... welll, can I plead the 5th here?

I'm with you on the CocaCola!  It really is yummy.  And I think that an occassional sodie now and then could be good for us actually....it is very satisfying somehow...that little bit of indulgence  Ooh...and the bubbles yum!

Interesting...but being a mere moral I must say I love coke...Not pepsi (it's too sweet) but sometimes I can't fight the fizz monster and find myself in my fridge with a cold can of Coke...Course I quit doing drugs years ago and for the most part I don't cuss too often anymore....but alas the Coke still has a grip on me~

I found it strikingly interesting myself...I'd be curious to know the top ten brand names too.  Thanks for reading and commenting :)

I think you hit the nail on the head - we're numbing ourselves or filling a void.  Pretty sad, isn't it?

That is very interesting.  I wouldn't mind hearing the top 10 brand names to see if there's any further correlation between the names and what they represent to society!

ummm, make your blogs red(?)...it is the common color on all three products :)

posted by mysteria on December 13, 2006 at 10:20 AM | link to this | reply

I don't use any of those products but I have to wonder

Is it the addictive qualities that make them so popular?

My next question is how can I give my blogs the same addictive quality?  =)
