Some very interesting facts here. Didn't know this information especially that coca cola was originally green. And I guess I'm not one of the 75%, I didn't try to lick my elbow.

Better get my monopoly money out! Got several incomplete games of it, but I'm sure the money is still intact. Green Coca Cola! You'd expect it to taste like lime. Interesting that Alaska has the great number of people walking to work, you'd think being frozen most of the year they'd use snow skis. Will have to remember that one about Tom Sawyer when I start my literature studies.
And no, I will not try and lick my elbow!
