Today I painted my nails red.
A boring topic for a blog, I agree. Until you realise this isn't any red. This is Coca~Cola red. Actually branded with Diet Coke on the side.

That picture pretty much sums up my reaction when I first saw the little bottle gleaming away on the shelf in boots. And don't let my clever bit of photo trickery fool you. It is a tiny bottle. 10 ml infact. Yet that day, it may as well have been 50 foot tall with a light show pointing at it, because it was the only thing around that mattered.
Now I know what you're thinking. Am I really so brainwashed by the Coca~Cola company that I simply have to have everything with their name on it. The simple answer is, yes. Yes I am.
Do I not know about the children working in their sugar farms. Yes. Yes I do. But I have a question for you self righteous people. If you were 7 years old and had to work, would you rather make trainers, or pick sugar cane? Coz that's the choice those kids have. A choice given to them by coca~cola. They do so much work for charity and I think they get a bit of a bad press just because they're a massive corporation. I mean, if they were soooo bad, would Santa appear in their ads?
I think not.
P.S. No, it doesn't taste like coke. Trust me.
