I tired Coke

October 18, 2007 Uncategorized | Comments (0) Tyler @ 11:52 am

 My daughter tried to “pretty” our house and proclaim her dominance by writing her name on the front porch with permanent marker.  She used the black marker to write a long version of her name.  My porch is made from concrete and I tired everything I could think of it get the writing off.  I used a toothbrush with bleach, Mr. Clean eraser, soap, tile scrub.  Nothing worked.  So I took the children (who were all using various markers for there projects) to the local grocery store and bought myself a two liter Coke Classic.  This was their punishment.  Nobody likes to go to the store with mad Dad because I made sure I walked right past the free cookies with out a chance to get one.  When I got home, the writing was still there.  I pored the soda on the words and scrubbed with a toothbrush.  Within fifteen minutes the writing had faded considerably.  I left what was left and by the next morning it was gone.   Okay, I proved my point to the children.  First don’t write on my porch.  Second, Coke is a great cleaning agent.  Why would you drink it? So that leads me to my next concern:   Coke to develop drinks based on Chinese herbsBy Robert Daniel, MarketWatchLast Update: 9:20 AM ET Oct 14, 2007TEL AVIV (MarketWatch) — Coca-Cola Co. said it opened a research center in Beijing that will partner with a Chinese research center to develop drinks based on Chinese herbal ingredients and formulas.The

soft-drink giant said. Coke, (KO) the world’s largest maker of non-alcoholic beverages, has a long-term collaboration agreement with the academy, which is overseen by the country’s Ministry of Health. In a statement Sunday, Rhona Applebaum, Coke’s vice president and chief scientific and regulatory officer, and Hongxin Cao, president of the academy, said the move connects Coke’s global reach and marketing with what Cao called Chinese medicine’s “more holistic view on health.” Coke said its Beverage Institute for Health & Wellness, a research group formed in 2004, will open an office at the academy. And the institute’s executive director, Maurice Arnaud, will join the advisory board of the academy’s
