Why does every thread here devolve into a "Real" vs. "Replica" argument?

3 guys each walk into a bar.
Each of them order a drink of "Coke-cola".

The first guy, lets call him Rod, gets given his order. Its a cold glass of refreshing Pepsi-cola.
Like everyone else, enjoys the drink of coke with his mates and enjoys the nights festivities.

The second guy, lets call him Anthony Boosalis, gets given his order - Its Coke-cola in a bottle, with a red label, you know... the stuff we all know as the ORIGINAL, the AUTHENTIC, the REAL thing. He downs his drink of coke with his mates, and enjoys the nights festivities.

The third guy however, lets call him Evan, gets given a Coke Zero, drinks his Coke Zero, proclaiming to the world on top of his soap box that, HIS drink is the AUTHENTIC and REAL coke, because it's produced and licensed by the COKE-A-COLA company the original founders and creators.

Not really giving a chit, but figured it might be nice to offer a helping hand, a fourth and fifth and sixth gent, all chime in with a - "Pssst, hey Evan, you know your Coke aint REAL?" to which Evan replies - But the facts, law and registry say so...

Badda-boom!





(NB: deliberately left off "original" - I don't doubt our friend, since his 2004 slip up, has conceded that point).



PS: try the veal and don't forget to tip your waitress...

The joke doesn't work. You know why? I haven't had any soft drinks in many many many years.
