Clinton, Grand Juries, and a Diet Coke

Remember when I shared that Andy Warhol quote about Coca-Cola?  How Coke is great because everyone from the bum on the street to the President of the United States drinks Coca-Cola and all of the Cokes are good and everyone knows it?  Well, this scene percolated into my recollection when President Clinton was caught up in his Monica Lewinsky scandal.  During his grand jury testimony, captured on video, President Clinton pauses and takes a swig from a silver can of Diet Coke.  It's right there on the 6:30 mark.  What does this teach us?  That even if you, the President of the United States, are under pressure, having a rough time, trying to forget about blue dresses, wincing at knowing your wife is only standing by because she has political aspirations of her own by carpetbagging New York, and are laboriously working out crafty linguistic arguments about the nature of the word "is", you too can still have refreshment from Coca-Cola.  Amazing.

Diet Coke with Bacon

I believe this is a long debunked internet meme, but I haven't found anything definitive to disprove it.  Then again, its hard to "disprove" anything since its absence can always be argued as inconclusive proof.  Regardless, a salty-sweet soda, like the saltiness bacon provides, might sound good.  However, since soda companies are under fire for being so unhealthy anyway, I don't they would market a salty/sweet Coke as bacon-flavored.  They would find a hip name for it, like Coke Y or something.  So yes, I think Coke may have tested a product, but, no, I do not think Diet Coke Bacon flavor ever existed.  But it does make a nice picture.

A joke, but who wouldn't want the can?
