It's very important to inform people that Coke is not a "poison with some black dye".

Do you mean that they think that it's unhealthy (which is true for most sodas) or do you mean that there's a real mental connection between the colour black and death?

I must have missed it, what was it?

Often people say they drive totally differently after they had accident, or almost had one. Do you have this too? Have you become afraid of driving in general?

Edit: Okay, you answered to the guy who asked the same thing before me, which I somehow missed. Other question then: could you describe the accident in more detail?

The iced tea part is interesting. As I'm sure you're aware, Lipton Ice Tea isn't owned by the Coca-Cola Company. Probably because they're also active in the 'regular' tea market. The Coca-Cola Company does own other iced tea brands, but I'm pretty sure Lipton has the biggest market share in the iced tea market, though I'm not sure if that's the case in Russia too. Maybe that's why she said "any iced tea" :P

You should know that there's a lot of controversy about research on the link between health (especially cancer) and sugar/artificial sweeteners.

One example is the idea that aspartame causes cancer. However that thesis has been contradicted by every study done on the matter (except the Ramazzini studies, but there are some very big flaws with those and their refusal to release their data makes it even more questionable).

I'm not supporting the idea that real sugar is more/less healthy than its alternatives either way, but I'm telling you that you should approach the subject with care.
