    We fight over the socks in our house! :eek: I think *santa* makes a point of delivering the poorest quality socks he can have his little elves make! Therefore they're full of holes by march and we're all longing for christmas again! :D

    Back to coca-cola. I'm sure there's something on the can about them inventing the popular image themselves too!

    I LOVE that Santa grave image - I saw it a couple of years back - pure class!

    Didn't Coke really *have* cocaine in it at one point? Also I can remember there was an ingredient in it - even up to the mid 80s, that reacted with Asprin and formed some kind of stimulant/hallucinogenic properties?

    1. Cocaine - Yes, back in the early days, as originally formulated by Pemberton.

    2. Coke and Aspirin - no, a total myth.
