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

October 2, 2016 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

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!

Philippine And Hawaiian Airlines To Offer Free Airline Tickets To Hawaiian Islands

HONOLULU, Hawaii (The Adobo Chronicles, Honolulu Bureau) – In the past several days, many netizens were duped by bogus websites in which Etihad Airways tickets were supposedly offered in return for participants completing a survey, adding a link to their Facebook account and sharing it with 15 friends. The airline based in the United Arab Emirates has confirmed that the websites were fraudulent.

But a new airline tickets offer has emerged and it seems to be more credible than the Etihad Airways hoax.

This offer is a joint venture of Philippine Airlines (PAL) and Hawaiian Airlines that awards netizens with free round-trip tickets from Manila to Honolulu on PAL and additional inter-island air tickets on Hawaiian Airlines to all of the islands in Hawaii, including Oahu, Kauai, Maui and the Big Island.

There are no surveys to complete, no links to add and no need to share with FB friends.

All that is required is for contest participants to fax a copy of their approved U.S. visa to either PAL in Manila or Hawaiian Airlines in Honolulu. In addition, participants must submit an audio tape in which they correctly pronounce the name of Hawaii’s state fish, Humuhumunukunukuapua`a.

And spell it right too in their visa application.
