Have you only just become aware of this?

People are stupid.

i've known about it for a while, but i saw a picture of somebody happily posing with a bottle bearing their name and i was struck by the idiocy of it. i knew people were stupid and that, but not this stupid.

In may I was in London and some marketing-guys who were handing out cokes, and of of the guys had a shirt with my name on it. I took great pride in it, honestly.

Everyone can be original because their name is their individual name.

Just novelties. Really what's the big deal? Coke finally caught up with the small license plate and bracelet markets.

Some of my liberal acquaintances are going into fits over this. I was almost tempted to buy a bottle with my (approximate - thanks, mum and dad) name on it but couldn't be arsed.

I did have a Diet Coke with my name on it a few days ago (actually the first time I've seen my name on one, which is a bit strange as it is a very common name), but I'm not one of these people who rummage through the bottles looking for their name.

This actually reminds me of a guy in a supermarket a few months back - he was taking pretty much every Diet Coke bottle in the fridge (in some British supermarkets there is a sort of fridge part where you can get butties and drinks from and so on), so I decided to take some myself, before he took them all (and it wasn't like there was only a few left - he must have taken about ten at this point), and apparently taking three or four is "rude". Course, I shouldn't be drinking the muck anyway - I only like it because it has no sugar, is fizzy and is cold.

....Why have I never seen this in Georgia?

I mean, it's not like it was invented here or anything....

They got in shit for this when it started because they went for the 500 most common names in the country except for one. Muhammad.

which is really funny because at least in sweden why they did it was exactly to avoid controversy, being really paranoid about this kind of things after the cartoon shit went down
