18 Jul 08 - 02:20 PM (#2392305) Subject: RE: BS: Moral Dilemma From: eddie1 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? |

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. |

18 Jul 08 - 07:56 PM (#2392602) Subject: RE: BS: Moral Dilemma From: Bee-dubya-ell 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. |
