Which country consumes more Coca-Cola per capita than any other country and what color was coke before the introduction of caramel color #39?

I got St. Maarten with approx. 580 10 oz. servings per person per year. I have to guess on the color, considering there are clear colas on the market now, I would say clear, or no color. Oct 07 05, 9:49 AM

A famous urban myth claims that Coca Cola used to be green. Like so many things on those oft-repeated "Did you know" lists, this is of course false. Caramel colouring was in Coca-Cola's original recipe. http://www.snapes.com/cokelore/green.asp Even that factoid that says it's impossible to lick your own elbow is dubious. You may not want to cut off your own arm but it isn't "impossible". Oct 07 05, 11:21 AM

Mexico drinks a ton of Coke and the original color was green. Oct 07 05, 3:23 PM

Whilst trying to lick my elbow, persuading a duck to quack to see if it echos, and counting the seeds on a Big Mac bun just to prove them wrong, I found the answer to always be Iceland. Oct 07 05, 4:48 PM

Sigh, yes. Lots of research going on in Iceland .... Oct 07 05, 5:58 PM

It's a bit depressing that "Coca Cola was green" gets over 600 hits on Google. Mind you, "The Moon is made of cheese" gets over 32,000 hits! Oct 08 05, 8:43 AM
