Well, something like that the translation of a Cola, now being quite frequently sold in France, trying to find a market in Germany:

"Ne buvez plus idiot, buvez engagé: buvez Mecca-Cola / Be engaged! Drink: Mecca Cola"

http://www.spiegel.de/img/0,1020,234274,00.jpg

They promise to spend 10% of the profit to Palestinian works, another 10% to European works.

(French) Website Mecca Cola

(The slogan in German will read, btw:" Be engaged - drink conscious".)

Well, I can't say it's exactly the most catchy slogan I've ever heard.

Slogan ideas:

Mecca's the One. And Mohammed is its prophet.

I'd like to teach the world to jihad...

Mecca: the taste that defleshes.

How about Britney Spears in a burqua:

"Mecca, for those who blow up."

Is Mecca-Cola Twisted Evil a beverage at all? I thought it was liquid form of RDX or a version of the Molotov cocktail.

When 'Cola' is a beverage, Mecca-Cola is it, too.

Technically, cola is a tropical nut that provides specific smell of all the different Cola products. Well, maybe it can be used to avoid detection of RDX or TNT by the specially trained dogs in the airports ?- Laughing?

By the way, entrance to Mecca is permitted only for Muslims. Do the bottles of Mecca-Cola contain any disclaimer that the manufacturer is free of liability in case some "infidel" or apostate drinks the beverage and finds him/herself in the intensive therapy ward?

OK, I shall do this when I am finaly back from the IDF. I see, Koran has a potential to promote sales. What will be the next Islamic product? Maybe, popcorn with enhanced explosive ability?
Or anthrax-boosted hamburgers?

Hmm, I am not so much concerned about products being kosher. My ethnic origin is mixed, and I am rather a Christian (without affiliation to any particular church congregation) than a Judaist.

Thanks, jespah. Unfortunately, I shall disappear for more than a week once more. My service has not been accomplished, I simply had a leave.
