This Monday, July 16, 2012, photo, shows a Coca-Cola advertisement as seen at a gas station in Los Angeles. The Coca-Cola Co. says its net income slipped in the second quarter from a year ago, as rising costs for ingredients offset its expansion overseas.
In perfect harmony! What a groovy, hunky dory, and quite happy jingle that was for CocaCola back in the '70s. The sweet fizzy drink from Candler and Woodruff is still going strong, and now it seems they'd like to teach us how to burn off those 140 happy calories in a can of Coke as they address the issue of obesity in their ads starting today. You'll see the spots on CNN, FOX, MSNBC for now. Check out this article here.
And I'm talking about COKE. Not any other sodas. I say this because in the South, we're notorious for calling something by its brand name...like ANY SOFT DRINK is called a "coke" here. And we call a tissue a "Kleenex" when we're using a Puffs. And we put an "s" at the end of a name where there really isn't one...I was an adult before I realized it wasn't JC Penney's with an "s"! And it's not Tiffany's ! But then, Breakfast at Tiffany doesn't sound right!
Do you have any other "'southern-isms"?
Stay dry, have a great day and Know You're Loved! JG
