The real thing!


My mom is elderly and has dementia. Yesterday I was getting ready to go to the grocery store for her. She said, since it was a holiday (Independence Day is Monday) that I should pick up some "Pepsicola" for her. "Make sure its the real thing" she tells me. I told her, "Mom, It's Coke that's the 'Real thing'!" ;)
(Lyrics from the original 1969 commercial)
I'd like to buy the world a home and furnish it with love
grow apple trees and honey bees and snow white turtle doves.
I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
I'd like to buy the world a coke and keep it company.
It's the real thing.
I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.
I'd like to buy the world a coke and keep it company.
It's the real thing.
Coke is what the world wants today. Coke Cola
It's the real thing
Coke is what the world wants today. Coke Cola
It's the real thing

"Slavery ended in medieval Europe only because the church extended its sacraments to all slaves and then managed to impose a ban on the enslavement of Christians (and of Jews). Within the context of medieval Europe, that prohibition was effectively a rule of universal abolition. "— Rodney Stark
