So I buy a 20 ounce bottle of Pepsi because I live in the South and it's freakin' hot and I want something cool and refreshing, that's all. But I unscrew the cap and set it down and start chuggin', when I notice the inside of the cap telling me it's sorry and I should please try again. Sorry about what? Try what again? Have I done something wrong???

'Mecca Cola: No more drinking stupid, drink with committment!'
'Quibla Cola: Liberate your taste! One direction!'

Qibla means the 'direction of prayer', ie towards Mecca. So Qibla Cola is pointing directly towards its rival, Mecca Cola Classic, just like Pepsi invokes Coke, knowing it can never, itself, be 'the real thing'.
The word Ummah comes from the Arabic amma which means "to be or become a mother, to nationalize, etc." So when Qibla says 'One ummah, one direction', it means Mecca Cola Classic is the 'mother of all cokes'. Qibla Cola is, in a very real sense, prostrate before its rival.
Ne buvez plus, idot.

This thread title would make a fantastic marketing slogan.

*drinks*
*gets massive boner looking at Land-O-Lakes lady, which knocks his Dungeon Master's guide, set of dice, and other assorted D&D contraband all over the floor*
Kid: "I WANT A SOFT DRINK THAT WON'T MAKE ME FEEL LIKE A @*!!#&% Loser!"
booming God-like voice: "Here kid, try new BAD-ASS SUPERCOLA!"
*kid drinks, glasses explode off face as it morphs into cover-of-GQ-stylee man-beauty, muscles bulge and rip through clothes, big breasteded wimmins appear out of shadows and caress his form*
Kid (now speaking in basso profundo manly voice): "Wow, Bad-Ass Supercola, finally a carbonated poison beverage I can heartily endorse!"

OK, I was drinking a Yoo Hoo the other day (PMS, don't ask) and the cap said "BOO HOO!" underneath it. I was so upset that I couldn't even finish it. What does it even mean?

Has anybody had this way cool soda that I've over ever seen in western Germany called Afri-Cola? it's got like a tiki-head fellow in silhouette on the slim, small bottle and loads of caffeine. First time I was in Germany people were telling me that Afri-Cola was going to be outlawed because of the mega-caffeine, but last time I was there I had about four in one night. Damn bugs under my skin, fuck fuck fuck fuck FUX0RZZZZ
