Coca-Cola

1. Coca-Cola is one of the world's most famous brands. One key reason for its place in the public conscience is that it sponsors many of the world's leading sporting events. Despite Coke being a kind of sweet fizzy poison.

2. Whilst in office, former prime minister Margaret Thatcher consumed over 30 cans of the famous fizzy pop a day. The high caffeine intake meant she only required 2 hours of sleep per night. Giving her lots more time to be a great shitting bastard. 

3. Coke was originally sold as a tonic in its early days, it's main ingredients were corn syrup and heroin.

4. Such is the acidity of Coke is you leave a lump of coal soaked in the cola drink over night by morning it will be a shining diamond.

5. We all know Jesus by his trademark beard, robe, sandals and thorny crown ensemble, but did you know that this image of Christ first appeared on a Coca-Cola poster from 1943.

6. Coca-Cola make more than just deadly carbonated beverages, the companies portfolio of products ranges from hot water bottles to land mines.

7. Coca-Cola was invented by John Pemberton in 1866, Pemberton was a hate filled man and stumbled upon the closely guarded cola recipe haphazardly, whilst working on an elixir to cure both gay and black.

8. Everyday more than 1.8 billion cans of Coca-Cola are consumed. If all that Coke was contained in one giant can, that can would need to be the size of the planet Saturn. 

9. Coca-Cola has maintained it's place as king of the soft drink market for the last 60 years. It has achieved this through a ruthlessly aggressive marketing policy, including one advert aired during the 1987 Super Bowl where the then CEO, Barnus Clataschnap threatened to kill a helpless child unless everybody immediately went out and bought some Coke. The demand was met but Clataschnap executed the kid anyway.

10. A controversial partnership in 2007 meant that for 3 years bread and Coke Zero were taken as the transubstantiation for the blood and body of Christ in all Catholic Churches.
