Got a case of Coke Classic today, opened it up and the cans say Koka-Kora on one side. I haven't laughed this hard at Coke in a while.

I always imagined finding something like this in a Chinese food restaurant, but not out of the grocery store. | Apparently that's the Russian spelling of Coca Cola. 
What that has to do with Chinese restaurants is beyond me.

There's no letter for "cee" in Russian alphabet either, and the cyrillic letter C is pronounced as an "es" so it cannot be used unless you want to sell "shoka-shola". That's how you get something that looks like "Koka-Kora" to a westener.

And why would TC imagine a Chinese restaurant having something that says Koka Koлa? If anything, it would be written with Chinese characters.

I have never seen russian coke before, but have had some cans of Arabic coke.

I always find that when things like that happen, my brain is half convinced that its coke, and half convinced that its doctor pepper, and even if it was one or the other inside I find it tastes like a mix of the two.
on the other hand, I occasionally call my knife and fork my 'wife and torque' completely and totally by mistake. don't mind me

Sorry but I just think the whole world has gone to PC. I mean I laugh when black comedians stereotype whites.
It's funny because it's true!
