Muslim Cola

A drink created in France as a protest symbol for the Palestinian Intifida in 2001, is catching up amongst the Muslim and non-Muslim consumer alike.

The drink was branded as an alternative to the ubiquitous US brands Coke and Pepsi.

As a part of international expansion strategy, Mecca cola will set up eight bottling plants in Indonesia by 2008.

Good for the Muslims, but we would've thought Coke and Pepsi were the quintessential examples of our shallow consumerist culture that Muslims supposedly despise. Isn't this kinda like replacing our whores with whores of their own? Just wondering.
