Mayhem at the World of Coca-Cola

I was able to visit the new World of Coca-Cola'museum' this past weekend and I'd have to say that the highlight of the whole thing was standing by the European fountain drink section to watch all of the victims nonchalantly throw back half a cup of Italy's Beverly, as if the clear, bubbly liquid predisposed them to assume that they'd be drinking something similar to Sprite. But holy shit--your tastebuds are greeted with what most likely resembles an unsavory concoction of diesel gasoline, tonic, with a little bit of uric acid for good measure. So Dawn, my sister Leticia and I decided that we'd just stand there for an hour and watch all the people nonchalantly walk up to the Beverly, like lambs to the slaughter, and down a huge sample of Beverly, while we sophomorically pointed and laughed at them with a sort of evil, maniacal feeling of schadenfreuden-like satisfaction. Since we're obviously not the only ones to appreciate the great family fun that can be had by rubbernecking as people slowly die at the hands of this merciless beverage, I was able to find pictures on the web, thanks to Kimberly's blog, which goes into further detail than I care to.
