That's kinda' funny -Santa and Coke. Although there is an urban myth that coca cola invented Santa (they didn't) they did portray the jolly fat guy in advertising in the red suit (colour phycology ) . . . Carrying the distinctively shaped bottle, as they did a few years earlier with the pope of Rome when the product had real coke as an ingredient.

Oh yeah. Poor fella me, had to go and get another blanket. Down to 19c.
