Coca-Cola, for many years like McDonalds have been the standard bearers of Western imperalist expansion throughout the known world. Similar to what the Crusades did only now they bring oh-so-tasty soft drinks and hamburgers instead of death by the sword and burnings at the stake.

As always, there is a ray of hope for those huddled masses who yearn to drink a cola that's not purveyed by by people whose regimes march mercenaries willy nilly into other people's countries and claim it in the name of democracy.

And it is to Mecca-Cola, Qibla Cola and Zam Zam Cola that the responsibility of liberating the tastebuds of the world falls to. With the rallying cry of "Shake your Conscience", Mecca-Cola pledges 10% of its profits to the Palestinian rebuilding effort and another 10% to "associations who work towards peace in the world and especially for peace in the conflict between Palestinians and the fascist Zionist Apartheid".

I personally have tried Mecca-Cola and sadly it seems to lack that certain je ne sais quoi that Coke has. A pity given that I really wanted to like it.
