Bee-Dub..it's listed on the Coca Cola Website as part of the Coca Cola Company line of products. I took them at their word.

Becca, A&W root beer isn't technically a Coca Cola product. It's actually made by the same company that makes Dr. Pepper and 7-Up. It's distributed by Coca Cola bottlers in some areas, but not all. Where I live, Coca Cola distributes Barq's root beer while A&W is distributed by Royal Crown Cola.

Better yet, tell them you'll pick it up and you'd like it in Nigerian nairas. Tell them that your friend, Chief Justice Idris Legbo Kutigi, will provide a strong police guard so they don't have to worry about giving you the money in cash.

I love the hotmail address - real authentic stuff there.
Write back and ask if they can do it in US dollars instead because you don't think your bank will accept Pounds Sterling.

Real coke domains

@coca-cola.com
@coca-cola.co.uk

Of course since they are giving away a million pounds they probably didn't want to go through the extra expense of creating and email account.

They just do that in order to appear humble, Amos, and place themselves on a level with the common people.

Can't quite remember the name of my favourite root beer - you can't get it in the UK anyway - would it be IBA? A&W is way too fizzy!

Eddie

ps. thinking of the British & American Tobacco co. involvement, would it work if I sprinkled Coke on my tobacco?

You would think that a large corporate expenditure of this sort would not be resorting to a "hotmail" email account.

Actually, A&W root beer is part of the Coca Cola Company product line so you wouldn't have to lie...

Start drinking Coke NOW! Do so for a few days. Drink lots of it.   Then you can honestly take advantage of this once in a lifetime opportuntity without suffering those pangs of conscience.

My problem is, I don't drink Coca-Cola. Please advise me if I should take advantage of this wonderful opportunity when I really prefer root beer.

Oh, and is the Coca-Cola HQ in Nigeria?
