“Organic Oreos are not a health food. When Coca-Cola begins selling organic Coke, as it surely will, the company will have struck a blow for the environment perhaps, but not for our health. Most consumers automatically assume that the word "organic" is synomymous with health, but it makes no difference to your insulin metabolism if the high-fructose corn syrup in your soda is organic.”
― Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto

“When it happens and it hits hard, we decide certain things, and realize there's truth in all those dark, lonely days"

He had an instantaneous look about him,
a glimmer and a glint over those eyes,
he knew how the world worked,
and took pleasure in its wickedness.

He would give a dime or two to those sitting on the street,
he would tell them things like:
"It won't get any better,"
and
"Might as well use this to buy your next fix,"
and finally
"It's better to die high than to live sober,"

His suit was pressed nicely, with care and respect,
like the kind a corpse wears,
he'd say that was his way of honoring the dead,
of always being ready for the oncoming train,
I liked him,
he never wore a fake smile
and he was always ready to tell a story about
how and
when

"We all wake up alone," he said once,
"Oftentimes even when sleeping next to someone, we wake up before them and they are still asleep and suddenly we are awake, and alone."
I didn't see him for a few days,
a few days later it felt like it'd been weeks,
those weeks drifted apart from one another,
like leaves on a pond's surface,
and became like months.

And then I saw him and I asked him where he'd been,
he said,
"I woke up alone one day, just like any other, and I decided I didn't like it anymore.”

“As a young child I had Santa and Jesus all mixed up. I could identify Coke or Pepsi with just one sip, but I could not tell you for sure why they strapped Santa to a cross. Had he missed a house? Had a good little girl somewhere in the world not received the doll he鈥檇 promised her, making the father angry?鈥� (p.3)”
― Augusten Burroughs, You Better Not Cry: Stories for Christmas

“That was the first time I did coke.
My body, it was electric. For the first time in my life I felt as if I had a real heart and a real body and I knew that there was this fire in me that could have lit up the entire universe. No book had ever made me feel that way. No human being had ever made me feel like that.”
― Benjamin Alire S谩enz, Last Night I Sang to the Monster

“The only biodiversity we鈥檙e going to have left is Coke versus Pepsi. We鈥檙e landscaping the whole world one stupid mistake at a time.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Lullaby

“One of life's great truths is this: when one is about to be struck by a speeding six-hundred pound Coke machine, one need worry about little else.”
― Stephen King

“I didn't like Dali: now, like you, I do. Like you, I began to drink my Coke with a pinch of salt . Like you, I stopped bothering about ironed clothes. Like you, I sit with a dictionary while reading the papers. Like you, I sit on the compound wall after a bath.”
― Sachin Kundalkar, Cobalt Blue

“In a world myriad as ours, the gaze is a singular act: to look at something is to fill your whole life with it, if only briefly. Once, after my fourteenth birthday, crouched between the seats of an abandoned school bus in the woods, I filled my life with a line of cocaine. A white letter 鈥淚鈥� glowed on the seat鈥檚 peeling leather. Inside me the 鈥淚鈥� became a switchblade鈥� and something tore. My stomach forced up but it was too late. In minutes, I became more of myself. Which is to say the monstrous part of me got so large, so familiar, I could want it. I could kiss it.”

“What would she have? Coke, said Annie. And when she tasted the familiar drink, how much less scary the world was, and how much less frightening her task.”
― Caroline B. Cooney, Out of Time

“And you know what happened next in my dream? Dick Cheney and I said the same thing at the same time: "Well, we had a Cold War to win." And then I screamed at him: "I KNEW you would say that! You ALWAYS say that!" But then, since Cheney and I made the same remark at the same time, I realized he owed me a Coke. So I said, "Jinx! You owe me a Coke!" And Vice-President Dick Cheney smiled sheepishly. *Shudder*... I don't even DRINK coke. I tastes like robot sweat.”
― David Rees, Get Your War On II

“Cocaine, laced with oxycodone, makes everything fast and still at once, like when you鈥檙e on the train and, gazing across the fogged New England fields, at the brick Colt factory where cousin Victor works, you see its blackened smokestack鈥� parallel to the train, like it鈥檚 following you, like where you鈥檙e from won鈥檛 let you off the hook. Too much joy, I swear, is lost in our desperation to keep it.”
― Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

“Look, I know you think I have a coke problem but I do not. I can quit any time I run out.”
― Keith Buckley, Scale

“Coca cola and McDonalds is spreading. Just like hunger and poverty.”
― Tim Goossens

“We knew well how much these people were paying for cocaine - and that the more coke cost, the more people wanted it. We applied the same market plan to our budding catering operation, along with a similar pricing structure, and business was suddenly very, very, good.”
― Anthony Bourdain, Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly

“Nothing beats a glass bottle of Coke and a trusty Moon Pie under the heat of the Alabama sun.”
― Joseph Carro, The Little Coffee Shop of Horrors Anthology 2

“There was no starting point for the rebellion, but I could mark an arbitrary one: that a grown-up was someone who, first and foremost, could drink a Coke at whim.”
― Teju Cole, Open City

“In our opinion, Coke is great from a can, still good from a bottle, yet hard to get just right from the fountain. But oh, when they do get it right, it tastes good enough to be an eighth wonder of the world.”
― Alecia Whitaker, Wildflower

“Bacardi Limited was started in Santiago de Cuba by Facundo Bacard铆 Mass贸, a wine merchant. Having immigrated to Cuba from Spain in 1830, he refined the method of making a quality rum, which until then was considered an inferior drink compared to grain whiskey. Filtering the rum through charcoal gave it a smoother taste and made it the drink of choice in the island nation. One hundred years later, the company headquarters moved into an art deco building in Havana. Other than drinking it straight, the favorite way of drinking rum was with Coca-Cola, which is now called a 鈥淐uba Libre.鈥� At the time I was there, the midshipmen bought cases of rum for very little money and brought them back to the ship without anyone objecting. The Navy also routinely flew to Cuba, and brought airplane loads of Bacardi Rum back to Pensacola, on what were called 鈥淩um Runs.鈥� This was not considered smuggling, but rather was thought of as 鈥渞outine multi-engine training flights for U.S. Navy SNB-5 pilots.”

“[T]he 'iced tea' was nonalcoholic and the faux 'cola' entirely devoid of cocaine or opiates.”

“That smoke can choke when fire is provoked is no joke. However, you can revoke a minor fire with coke. The yoke may be arduous but it does stroke it down.”

“I went to the butcher and the farm stands yesterday. I brined my chicken for four hours, set the alarm, and then did a buttermilk soak for another four. The chicken will be spectacular. I drove out to this liquor store off I-35 that I know sells the real Cokes- in beautiful glass bottles from Mexico. Purists believe Mexican Coke is far better because they use refined cane sugar, not high-fructose corn syrup. I am one of these purists. I also purchase Coke in a can and the regular American Coke, which is in one of those beautiful light green glass bottles that's Americana personified.”
― Liza Palmer, Nowhere But Home

“Can I get you anything? I鈥檝e got green tea, herbal, filtered water, or I could juice up some carrots and celery for you.鈥�

鈥淣o Pepsi? Isn鈥檛 it illegal to be that healthy?鈥�

鈥淐herry Coke is a deep dark secret in my life, Detective, but I only get one a month.鈥�

鈥淭hat鈥檚 even worse, having a disciplined vice.”

“Before 'Coca-Cola' there was only water to wet your thirst.”
