I predict the first defective drink will be recalled because it dissolves the plastic bottle, releasing the potion all over the store shelves.

What makes Coke think that we want to ingest something made in China?What makes you thin that we're the target market? Coke sells a lot of things in a lot of places.

I’ve used a number of ‘chinese’ herbs, and I am reasonably sure that the drinks will taste wierd enough that nobody will buy them twice!

"
Chinese formulas? Maybe.
Chinese ingredients? It’s your funeral." You're right. Most of the herbs used by natural health practitioners come from India, and their quality is reliable because the upper caste of India uses them too.

I don't know about you guys, but I know a lot of people who would drink goat pee if they thought some old Chinese guy lived to be 120 on the stuff.
If you mix it up, and can convince folks it will slow the inevitable, they will drink it, eat it, or rub it on somewhere :)

Panda-flavored Coke, now in unleaded.

This pict reminds me of a story I heard about in china. All over they have noodle stands on the streets in China. One of them seemed to have become hugely popular. In the past some noodle stands would add opium to their noodles to get people addicted. So the cops suspect the same thing and go and test the noodles for opium. The soup comes up drug free. The people still would line up for those particular noodles. Cops were stumped.... until they realized the owner of the noodle stand was wiping opium on the inside of the bowls, knowing the cops would check the soup but not the bowls.
Just thought it was an interesting story.
