Status of the 'big brands' slipping amoung teens
For those of us hanging out for the day the world realises Coke is just a softdrink, not hard to make, not particulary yum, terribly bad for you and reliant purely on it's branding for survival, this was nice to hear.
In a recent survey of global teens (I'm not sure how many but assume Global is a little farfetched), "Coca-Cola still topped the chart in terms of name recognition, followed by McDonald's. But Coke fell to eighth place when it came to likeability, and the burger chain dropped all the way to No. 32. Disney and America Online also nose-dived in appeal."
I am also happy about that, after discovering my health and fitness freak sister, who bikes about a hundred kilometers a day and still struggles to keep up with her boyfriend who is even more hard out, and who are both rumoured to exist on protien shakes, also consume vast quantities of Coke zero (or whatever it's called). To my shock and dismay, being largely outside the drug world, when I enquired about the other drug labelled on the back "caffeine and Ph something or rather", I found out that this drug is a large component of speed. Yes the illegal drug, the one doctors also force feed any children they diagnose with ADD or ADHD or 'inability to cope with boring situations'. So there you go. No wonder Coke zero is the drink of choice for all those health concious, dieters of this world. This drug supresses appetite and gives you a nice buzz.
I hope you die a horrible death coke :)
