| #10 "...but it is definitely a motivator and a reason for pride among Islamic youth, especially in economically weak societies where anything that can hurt America is deemed good and acceptable." Thought this tid-bit a bit interesting. Also, anyone know where I can pick up a case of "infidel-cola"? |

| #9 "10 percent of the profits will be distributed as donations to Palestinian children. It is intolerable that they should Yes, there's an idea that the Israelis are sure to jump for: drink this soda and fund your own demise! Brilliant! Those Zionists will never see it coming! And does anyone else find it amusing that Mecca-Cola is based in France? |

| #7 So one guy comes up with mecca cola. Then another with arab cola. And then another with cola turka. Jeeeeeeeeezis....can't they even think beyond cola, like, say, ginger ale? Apparently, the idea that someone would come up with a non-beverage idea seems to be incomprehensible. And so, they fight amongst themselves for the small market that exists for people who want to drink islamically-tinged cola. This is simply another sign that their vacuous, bereft culture is completely unadapted to exist in the modern world. |

| #4 "Drink Cola-Turka and become Turkish." That's actually a mistranslation. The correct version is: "Drink Cola-Turka and become a Turkey." |

| #2 I've never had Mecca Cola but people I know tell me it tastes like a combination of Dr Pepper and salt with a soy sauce aftertaste. |

| #1 Commercials for the cola star Chevy Chase. Filmed in New York, the ads show Americans drinking Cola-Turka becoming Turkish. It's da bomb! Do they know he's Jewish? |
