There’s been something in the news in the last couple of days that has rightly pissed me off. Coca Cola are closing their plant in Drogheda with the loss of more than 250 jobs. Wha.. de..!?!
Has there been a huge downturn in worldwide sales? Are they on the brink of bankruptcy? Has Pepsi stolen their secret formula and are they holding it to ransom? Are they fuck?!?!
In all probability what’s actually happened is that some bean counter or other in Atlanta head office has got promoted and in order to impress his new bosses with his business savoir faire has, with one stroke of a pen, consigned 250 hard working people to next year’s unemployment statistics. It sickens my hole!
Of course you know who I blame? All of the local organisations in Drogheda that ever begged Coca Cola for sponsorship for what ever event they were holding, be it the Knitathon or the Puddle Jumping Championships when all Coke wanted to do was to repatriate all of their hard earned profits.
Damn you ‘Lourdes Brass Band', damn you ‘Droichead Arts Centre’ and damn you ‘Drogheda and District Bridge Congress’ you should ALL be ashamed of yourselves!

I've been to the World of Coca Cola in Atlanta Georgia. One of the most surreal places I've ever been yet strangely fascinating. Still prefer the Guinness Store House!
Yeah, Drogheda had similar features. Signs saying 'Sponsored by Coca Cola', 'This road was brought to you by Coca Cola'. Even the Pady's Day celebration was more Red that Green. Ahh Stalin would have been proud!
Cunts!
Yeah, Bock. I hear ya.
Bastard school friends got to visit that factory on the one day I was out sick. Ok one of many, but I was still sickened.
I do hate Pepsi though.
I'm so confused.
Won't buy the stuff. They're as bad as MacDonalds with faux sponsorship whilst pouring junk into the mouths of babes. I feel sorry for the workforce but Coke are among the bastions of hypocracy. I agree with Bock but that word aint cool in Oz!
