Pepsi, Coke rivalry becomes physical

Fri Oct 12, 9:46 PM ET

INDIANA, Pa. - The long-standing rivalry between Coke and Pepsi took a physical turn Friday when a Pepsi deliveryman allegedly punched his Coke counterpart in the face at a western Pennsylvania Wal-Mart, state police said.

The two deliverymen were "apparently bickering back and forth" while unloading their wares at the Indiana County store, police said. When the Coke deliveryman left the store, his counterpart allegedly punched him in the face three times, breaking his nose and giving him a black eye, police said.

No charges have been filed, but police characterized the incident as a misdemeanor simple assault.

Not today's news, but funny. I stumble upon this:



Which is worse Bird Flu or Kimchi Air Conditioning? Source

Let me start off by disclosing that I was brought up in a Korean-America household in the middle of the midwest. Part of being a Korean Family in America means that you need to have at least two refridgerators if not more. Your extra refridgerator will be placed in either the garage or the basement. This system was devised to help prevent everything you eat, touch or breathe from smelling like kimchi.

For those uninformed of the powers of kimchi smell, go to any korean/asian grocery store, buy one of those ginormous glass jars of kimchi and take it to your car. Take off the cap, roll up the windows and stay in the car for 1 hour. Then see what happens.

Not only is this smell so foul that it can kill a man or a grizzly bear, apparently it can also fight disease. Back when sars was the fad sickness, there were rumors that kimchi was the reason why the rate of infection in Korea was much lower than in China. This caused a lot of chinese to start importing some of this Kimchi. I think it may have just been some marketing ploy by the Kimchi Overlords in Korea.

Now they've decided to take this marketing to a whole new level. In case you don't want to eat kimchi, but only enjoy the sickness fighting qualities of it, LG has made an air conditioner that uses Kimchi to fight avian bird flu. Forget UV filters or any other things you can't really tell are working. Make sure that you can taste the power yourself.

I don't even want to know anyone that has this A/C. I bought kimchi last night. It's in a tight container inside a ziplock bag. Even if I've spent the afternoon cleaning, it smells like kimchi. :bleh:

Haha...gotta take extreme measures....

As far as that AC is concerned...you might as well get someone to fart in the AC for similar effect.

That's probably it. The bad smell prevents bird flu, because no bird or person is insane enough to go near your house. :hehe:

I definitely believe in the bird flu but you know what, the media and pharmaceuticals try to propogate fear to peddle drugs. Human beings have survived for thousands of years without modern medicine....so all of the sudden there are diseases popping up all over that can only be defeated by drugs...bullshiet.

Flu
Restless leg
Limp dick
Stank feet
Asthma
Scratchy Ol' Nuts Syndrome
etc.


Obviously antibiotics have save millions of lives but I don't believe that synthetic chemcals are the ONLY way to go...

Like Hippocrates said, "Your food is your medicine and your medicine is your food."

I'm not the healthiest person but I try...

Agreed.

Over-medication seems to be SOP here in the States. :sweat:

For sure.

It's a frightening reality man...the pharmaceutical lobby is far too strong for our own good. Dude there are many drugs that are a straight out scam, man. I won't get into it too much.

Let us say it's no mistake that healthcare is the second most pressing issue in most ppl's mind after Iraq.

Let me expound on this....honestly I am not a socialist or America hater but I honestly believe we are seeing the beginning of the END of American hegemony...the American Empire is crumbling and our representative goverment is appearing more AND more ineffectual....they cannot do shit on any MAJOR issues of import, for example health care and social security have been talked about TO DEATH for decades yet nothing has ever been done.
