Gaddafi says Coke is African

[RICHARD]

Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi claims Coca Cola is African and wants a share of the money.

He says Coca-Cola should pay a percentage of every can or bottle sold to governments across the continent.

Speaking at a celebration marking the seventh anniversary of the African Union, Gaddafi said: "The essential ingredients for Coca Cola come from African plants and so compensation must be paid to us."

The Libyan leader is known for his bizarre claims and in the past claimed William Shakespeare was actually an Arab immigrant to England called Sheikh Zubeir.

The essential ingredient in Coca Cola (Cola nuts) are from africa, and Coke buys them on the open market. I think Khadaffi is chewing too much Khat.

He was smart enough to realize that he wasn't immune from F-111s

I'd love to see him chew on my "khat"-he'd get his eyes scratched out!

COLA nuts, not Coca....

Wrong part of the formula.......fat fingers.

[RICHARD]

Now I have to come in and arbitrate my own threads?


I have to give the sibs half a point a piece.

When Coke was first introduced, it had coca/cocaine in it...Hence the South American connection.
