Gaddafi says Coke is African
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.

That is just ridiculous. No one in Africa came up with the recipe of coca-cola and that is what is important. Read about it here: The History of Coca Cola.
Next Holland will be wanting us to compensate them for Gouda cheese, Italy for every pizza made, Hungary for goulash, etc. etc.

I got something he might need. It's called a 9 mm.
That's just as stupid as people saying that the Mona Lisa was stolen from Africa and was claimed by a European artist. 
Dont drink coke, catch up with some david icke books and you will find out why, and why it was always going to be shipped out to the third world as soon as possible.

Some of the ingredients may well come from Africa, they're bought from the African company and shipped out. See, we did pay fair compensation.
Either way, none of the ingredients are found in Libya so, what would it get him?
I refuse to take this guy seriously until he desides on how to spell his name, naime,naym, nahme.......

Did the aliens bring us coke then? Sorry, I won't be reading any more David Icke than required by law.
Repto-cola rocks!
I thought Libya only grew terrorists and petitions for UN financial aid?
Why do they deserve money from Coca-Cola?

India should sue everyone for using zero, think about all the money from computer code alone. 
What about other cola drinks? Shouldn't they be charged as well? I mean, if you're going to claim a percentage, at least do it right!
