     Well, last Thursday, the Glamour Twins finally stopped talking about
Coke Clothes.  Well, those snooty little Cox Broadcasting bleeding hearts
may have something else to pester Coke for:

     Classic cans.  The kind with a ring and pull tab.  The kind where the
rivet corrodes and you rip the ring off, leaving an unopened can.  Now, this
might not seem much to you Northern viewers, but here in both Carolinas, this
kind of thing is probably illegal.  Seems that people were ripping their
feet open on the tabs while walking in the sand.

     We haven't had pull tabs around here in at least 8 years. The cans were
made, incidentally, by Coca Cola Consolidated, one of the 'bad guys' in the
Coke Clothes scandal.

     Next, we'll have number 303 cans that you have to open with a church
key!!!!!

     Finally, for those who care, plastic 16 ounce bottles of Classic have
arrived.

(P.S. Channel 9 plays this up probably because WSB Atlanta is also
 owned by the same riff raff!)

Now, wait a minute!  I like those cans!  The new kind of can, you always
end up sticking your finger into the soda while you are opening it.

Last month in France, they still had old Coke in classic pull-ring cans
(though the size is 33 cl, about 11.2 fl oz).  Price ran 6 to 9 Francs on
the street about $.70 to $1).  Since the per capita consumption is so much
lower, the cans and rings do not represent the same scale of litter problem
we have.
