Coca-Cola Says Its Soda Pop Is Nothing But Rebottled Pepsi

ATLANTA, Georgia (The Adobo Chronicles, Miami Bureau) – You’re either a Pepsi person or a Coke person.

The stiff competition between the two soft drink giants has been going on for ages and they have amassed their respective loyal fans who constantly root for their preferred soda pop.

So when Pepsico recently admitted that Aquafina, the bottled water it has been marketing contains nothing but tap water, Coke fans rejoiced and claimed victory.

But not so fast.

Today, Coca-Cola, under extreme pressure from Freedom of Information (FOI) advocates, admitted that its carbonated soda is nothing but rebottled Pepsi.

Is it any wonder that in taste test after taste test, soft drink consumers can’t tell the difference between Coke and Pepsi?

So, what’s next?

Consumer advocates are now pursuing an investigation on rumors that Colgate toothpaste is the same as Crest toothpaste. Just a different marketing label.

Long live capitalism!

Donald Trump Finally Acknowledges That Actor Bruce Lee Was A U.S. Citizen

SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – It wasn’t only Barack Obama that Donald Trump accused of being a non natural-born U.S. citizen. The Republican presidential candidate’s birther movement extended beyond politics. It included Hollywood.

After eight years insisting that Obama wasn’t eligible to become president of the United States, Trump finally accepted last month that the Hawaii-born occupant of the White House was, indeed a natural-born U.S. citizen.

But Trump also doubted that Hollywood actor and martial arts icon Bruce Lee was born in America. He always considered that Lee, who died in 1973, was Chinese. He frequently asked: “How can anyone named Lee be American? And a karate expert at that?”

Well, today, after Lee’s estate showed Trump a certified true copy of a birth certificate, the GOP candidate finally acknowledged that the actor was indeed a U.S. citizen, born in San Francisco.

Now that he’s done with birther issues, Trump is now focusing on tax issues that have derailed his presidential campaign.

If Elected, Donald Trump Promises Tax Refunds For All Americans

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – The New York Times has just obtained Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s 1995 records which suggest he could have paid zero federal income tax for 18 years.

Trump declared a $916 million loss on his 1995 income tax returns, a tax deduction so substantial it could have allowed him to legally avoid paying any federal income taxes for up to 18 years, records obtained by The New York Times show.

In an effort for damage control, the Trump campaign immediately released a “new” campaign platform in which the real estate mogul says will put money into the pockets of American taxpayers.

“If I was able to evade paying taxes, so should all Americans,” Trump said at 3:30 a.m. from his Penthouse Suite in Manhattan.

“If elected this November, I will issue an executive order on my first day in office that would refund all federal income taxes paid by all Americans for the last 18 years. This will surely boost more consumer spending that will guarantee a robust economy,” Trump said.

Trump advised all American taxpayers to start gathering their income tax records for the last 18 years in preparation for his massive tax amnesty.
