I don't think the US SEC such an abundance of information regarding Coca Cola
sales in foreign countries, especially underveveloped ones like Per�... More, I
am strongly convinced that Coca Cola being more popular than water in Per� IS
possible, due to the fact that the majority of the populace is dirty poor and
can't afford any plumbing or bottled water. If we count sales only for the well
off minority, perhaps Coke wins hands off. But in my view this is not a tribute
to Coca Cola's devilish marketing campaigns, but a sad testimony of the state of
Per� and many Center and South American countries.
Uhm... this is the Open game Licens mailing list, right? Perhaps I overdid a
little about this subject 8-]

I think my reasoing still applies. And of course I think a little 'enthusiasm'
in such occasions is understable...
