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.

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?

Well, you can get kosher products in quite a few special shops in France as well.

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.
