Death by Coca-Cola?
Another crazy lawsuit: A St. Louis weight-loss instructor is suing the Coca-Cola Co. over its "My Coke Rewards" campaign where customers earn points by buying Coca-Cola products. This lawsuit charges that it might encourage kids to drink so much of the sugary soft drink they could die. Puh-leeze! She said she filed the lawsuit out of moral obligation, that kids would have to drink hundreds of Cokes a day to win the high-end prizes. Coke responded there are several special contests on the Internet where participants can earn 50,000 points without a single sip.
Let's take this lawsuit a step further: Most kids can't afford hundreds of sodas a day. They'd have to steal money to pay for them, or heaven forbid, break into soda machines. Maybe she could add a claim that Coke is also encouraging a life of crime, not to mention all the belching that'll be going on ... can that harm the ozone?
Maybe this lady just really never forgave them for the whole "New Coke" disaster of the 1980s. Or perhaps she thinks that Life cereal's "Mikey" really died after chugging a Coke after eating Pop Rocks.

I think New Jersey has that law on the books" A vender may not sell more than a 6 pac of coke to any minor ....however this law does not apply to atlantic city casinos."
High-calorie foods don't cause obesity and cigarettes don't cause lung cancer. Eating them and smoking them is what does it.
will this affect our ability to make diet coke and mentos fountains?
