Have you ever wondered why it is "Coca-Cola" but "Diet Coke"

Why is it not "Diet Coca-Cola" or "Coke"


*giggles lots*


What do you wonder about??

in france its called Coca-light

In Spain it's Cola Lite and in America (Least it was in florida when i went)

Wierd huh?

I always wonder how skin works.

And hair, and nails, how do they get to grow so damned fast?!

This thread should be called the wonder thread.

I wonder why keyboards are called key boards. I also wonder why the sky is blue and grass is green.

Wierd.

Walken:
Grass is green as it contains Chlorophyll, to enable it to feed itself.

The sky is blue as that is the light shining through some layer thingy around the earth.

yeah, I do suck at science.

I know both of those, but why green? They should all be red.

I wonder why my snake yawns all of the time. If that's what she's doing.

*shifty eyes*

I wonder about things...

LOL @ Snowy

I'm glad to see lunch inspired a very thought provoking topic.

I wonder why the earth has fleas... I hate them, and I don't know of any creature that eats them... they are useless

Hullo DAZ!

*;licks

Nothing is useless

I wonder why my cat (Scully) is so fat and my soon-to-be-wife Scully is so beautyful.

i wonder why coke(back to stated topic) is still called coke, dont they think people who are recovering from abusing cocaine mught have a relapse, but that is just me

It actually origonally contained Cocain. See www.snopes.com

I wonder why the foods that taste the best are generally the most unhealthy

i knew that but.........alas, cocaine is a really bad a ddiction and recovers have a hard enough time staying clean than people think, so any little thing could like send them on a spiral of failure......sorry pessimism, i just got off school and since this upcoming week is my spring break, they had a play about druink driving , it was pretty intense

They don't contain it now, of course.

that would be pretty awesome , no wonder coke is so addicting

Uh-huh. S'not as nice as pepsi thpough.

personally i like pepsi and diet coke , but perferably i like diet coke , i makes me feel not so bad when i drink something, but water....ewwwww, i cant stand water , it is so blehhhh, there is nothing, it like tasting air, ther is nothing

Of course

I always wondered why Pepsi was so smoothe. Coca-cola is so harsh.

hey walken , i will talk to you later i gotta go to work see ya on the flip side

I'd like my Coke to have a little lemon in it & extra Ice

Anyhow, I may have to write to Coca Cola and pose them this question.

I sincerely doubt they'll answer Walken!

I wonder why I'm 15 yet my username suggests I'm an Elvis lover who must be at least in his 40's. Hmm...
Don't even ask about the username, even I barely know how it came about...

Nope...

Cool siggy though.

I wonder why people spell weird "wierd", it's very weird.


Right on QueenOfTheNight, how come you talk about fleas - was it just a thought, or do you have pets that provide you everyday with the question, "surely there must be something higher in the food-chain."
I hate fleas, hate em.

No cocaine in Coca-Cola, but get this from narconews.com:

“Coca Cola, the globally recognized soft drink manufacturer, buys 115 tonnes of coca leaf from Peru and 105 tonnes from Bolivia per year, with which it produces, without alkaloids, 500 million bottles of soda per day.” You read correctly, kind readers, Coca Cola buys coca leaves."

Hmmm.........

Coca Cola origonally contained Cocaine. It certainley doesn't now.

Or does it?

Snopes-Coke and Cocain.

More coke-lore.

I always heard iot used to have cocaine in it

It doesn't contain cocain anymore, they have replaced it with caffein, which is ofcourse unhealthy as well and can get you addicted pretty easily .

tell me about it

Pepsi does the same.

ever wonder if everyone sees things the same color? ok, this is about to get a little confusing, so try to follow me. I see the coke bottle as red, and i call it red because when i was young, i was told taht that color was red. You also see the coke bottle as what you've been told is red, but what you see as red is really what i see as my green. follow me there?

or ever wonder why keyboard keys aren't in alphabetical order?... it's because when the first typewriters came out, they were in alphabetical order, but the typists were typing so fast that the keys jammed. They then mixed up the order of the letters to slow the typists down. That's why it is the way it is today.

Cool stuff JF. I think I talked about the color thing in a different thread, but it was on taste. And I always wondered why keyboards weren't in alphabetical order. I think it would be harder to type like that though.

Not coke related, but I've always wondered who thought cigarettes would be a good invention in the first place.

"Hey, I know, I have this crazy idea, but just hear me out, guys. Let's take that plant, dry it out, shred it to bits, roll it up and inhale it's fumes."

Same goes for pot. I know who came up with the idea, however I can't wrap my mind around why they started it.

As a smoker who really wants to quit, I wish they hadn't.

The amount of sleepless nights I have thinking about this question?

ElvisHendrx...if Elvis had still been alive now...he would be 70 yrs old...sorry,just a bit of useless info for you all.

I wonder what he would look like now if he was still alive?

Mods.. Please stop stuffing around, you close topics and then you re-open them. It'd be at least polite as to provide a reason why you re-opened it, I feel as my memory's bad if things just happen, then there's no trace as to it happening at all.

I always wonder why the hell only one eye hurts after I put contact lenses in. That really annoys me.

I also wondered why they have brail on the numbers of a drive-thru banking station:lol:

- Dark

I wonder how people can be so mean and not realise it.

My friend started crying in History for reasons I'm not gonna tell you, and people made fun of her when she left. B*tches.

people can be so cruel

Because it is easier to just make one type of machine, and cheaper at that. Rather than make some with brail, and some without.
