Day Twenty-Three

Americans...and their latest stereotype.

Ohkay, so I know that stereotypes are bad, but when you see two Americans in basketball shorts, vests, takkies and glasses and talking loudly on the Jammie next to you, you sort of have to eavesdrop.  And it’s not that hard to, when there’s no one else talking around you.

So I found out some fascinating stuff...about...

Coke.

Coke is the most recognised brand in the world, did you know? A survey in 2007 put it at number one with Mc Donalds taking ninth place.

So you would expect it to be pretty universal, right? Not so, apparently.

According to the Yanks, the “soda” (Coke) tastes better in good old SA than in America. And they have their reasons. They say this is because here in SA we use sugar in our fizzy drinks where as in America they use corn syrup (cheaper)...

And this is why the one American drinks a Coke every day...
