I made a radio bit for it, so blast it on your radio show.

I've also been doing investigative journalism.

I also post a lot of crud on my blog.

Yours,

Does Coke Have Polar Bear Meat In It?

I work in retail, so I’m very sensitive to product packaging, especially when it comes to soft drinks around the holidays. And this year, Coca-Cola’s 12 packs have pictures of polar bears and snow on them, so I was more than curious to know more about this whole product push and called up one of my friends who knows nothing about coke and much like me doesn’t drink it. What follows is my interview with my friend.

P: Does Coke have polar bear meat in it?

Friend: Probably. I think it’s about half full of polar bear meat.

P: And there’s a picture of snow too on the package, so is there snow in it as well?

Friend: I think it’s about an eighth full of snow.

If this is true, how can coke get away with this? Don’t they realize that polar bears are a vulnerable species because of habitat loss and that 8 of the 19 polar bear subpopulations are in decline.
