Overtumbling. :)) So. K.
My friend, Mina Rivera, was posting Dexter’s Lab lyrics in FB the other day.
Enter at your peril,
Past the vaulted door
Impossible things will happen
That the World’s never seen before.
In Dexter’s Laboratory
Lives the smartest boy you’ve ever seen
But Dee Dee blows his experiments
To Smithereens!
There’s Gloom and Doom
When Things go Boom
In Dexter’s Lab
P.S. I only found out now that smithereens actually means small pieces. Now it makes sense. I always thought it was some sort of inside (word?) joke.
Goodbye, I have to set my priorities straight! :)
Artice here.
Only two people know the formula for coca-cola.
It’s no surprise that one of most profitable companies ever would want to keep their formula a secret. Even with hundreds of imitators, Coke still dominates world-wide sales of caramel colored drinks. But doesn’t that stuff only have, like, four ingredients? Fizzy water, high fructose corn syrup, caffeine and Brown Dye #4? There isn’t exactly a vibrant symphony of flavors in each can.
Yet, the formula is so fiercely protected that the company even pulled out of India in the 1970s because they would have been legally required to divulge their ingredient list to their government.
It even managed to stall a divorce case. When one of the Coke heirs ended his marriage to his wife, she demanded some of his great-grandfather’s (the founder of Coca-Cola) original notes as part of her settlement. The company had to get involved and put a stop to it out of fear the notes could contain information on the formula.
Who Knows:
Only two Coke executives know it. Urban legend says they each only know half, but that’s false—that part was invented for an old ad campaign.
How it is Kept Secret:
The original copy of the formula is kept in an undisclosed SunTrust Bank in Atlanta. To keep SunTrust on the side, Coke gave them some 48.3 million shares of stock as well as having executives from each company sit on the other’s board of directors.
The company has policies surrounding the secret that range from the paranoid (the two executives who knew the formula could not fly on the same plane) to the bizarre (no one could view the formula without God, Jesus and Elvis present or something to that extent).
All of this is pointless in the end. Coca-Cola still derives some of its flavor from the coca plant; the same place that cocaine comes from. Due to the obvious drug related issues that would arise from importing lots of coca plant into America legally, only one company has government permission to do it. That company is Coca-Cola. So even if someone broke into the bank and managed to take the formula, they would never be able to produce an exact Coke rip-off.
Remember fiendster? HAHA. I remember in 5th grade, when I made a typo error and I typed fiendster instead of friendster, an evil version of friendster appeared. It was all about meeting enemies and shiznit.
Ohh why did they have to take it down :)
Chuzzle. October 27, that’s my birthday. It’s so sad. I was busy playing Chuzzle on my birthday. Am I the most boring person on earth?
