Here's a creepy story reminiscent of The Subliminal Guy on Saturday
Night Live. Always knew Coca Cola was evil!

In a recent scientific study, when asked to participate in a blind
taste-test between Pepsi and Coke, the majority of test subjects
showed no preference. However, when the subjects were shown company
logos before they drank, three-quarters of them declared they
preferred Coke.
 
At the same time the researchers found that the Coke label stimulated
a huge increase in activity in parts of the brain associated with
cultural knowledge, memory and self-image - so much that the
scientists could use brain scans to predict which soft drink an
individual was likely to prefer. The Pepsi label produced no such
increase.
