I don't wanta Fanta!

Haven't seen that commercial here. I did not even know Fanta was still on the market! (porbably not in Canada).

I hope you all know the origins of the "Fanta" brand name?!

Fanta, the Evil twin, of the Coca Cola company.
For Thirsty Nazis......:w:

Am I close...?

I think someone mentioned that to me last week...

Yep!

The American company refused to jeapoardize (sp?) their market share in Nazi Germany during the second world war, so they started an independent subsidiary and renamed their products Fanta (maybe that means something in German?) to avoid prosecution under the Trading with the Enemy Act (the one the granpa Bush was convicted under BTW). After all, profits are so important they're worth a little treason.

No drinking water under extreme circumstances.

The little man who is the Spanish doppelganger of Tattoo from Fantasy Island is in my line of sight. It has been very thirsty work and I am dying. My travelling companion flaked out hours ago.

I recall joking with some Mexicans about little Tattoo-person, when he was not in earshot. He would not sing out "Boss, the plane, the plane!" on the arrival of gringos. He would instead shout "La plata! La plata!" as the boat turned the final bend before our digs. Guffaws all around.

But the little man had the ultimate power over all visitors to the remote jungle lodge.

"Una Fanta, por favor," I said.

"Fanta no hay."

I reclined as motionless as I could in the hammock, hoping for a little rustling breeze or the presence of anything that would reduce the sweltering 53 degree 95% barometric reading hellish heat.

10 or 12 minutes pass. I feel I am losing last few inner droplets of life sustaining fluid.

"Hay Sprite" says the little man.

Bastard.

no..

I think YOU DO Want a FANTA

it's the will of allah

okey dokey then.. Allah wants us to drink Fanta? Because according to some coward in a cave he also wants us to kill americans. Large Leap huh?


(not directed to ANY muslims, just that BASTARD Osama)

Did anyone like the Trojan thingy? I don't mean to ask, but I'm a glutton. For attention.
