Islamic Drinks
Note: This post was delayed for Unknown Reasons.
I just want to address how stupid is the distributor of Mecca cola here in Kuwait (alwafi trading). How could a company market two brands of cola at the same time? I would understand it if they were somehow different or have some advantage over the other but other than the obvious difference (the brand name) there’s nothing. They only excuse I can find is both of Mecca Cola (Red) and ZamZam Cola (Blue) are Coca-Cola’s (Red) and Pepsi’s (Blue) Cheap Islamic Imitations.
What’s with the headline أشرب ملتزماً (Drink with Commitment) Does that mean if I’m drinking Coca-Cola or Pepsi, I’m not committed (to the Islamic instructions)? Does that mean if I drank Mecca cola I will be a better Muslim and I will surly go to heaven?
Now read this press release by the general manager of Al-Wafi Trading. He says that they are planning to open a “halal” fried chicken chain of restaurants. So suddenly fried chicken becomes an Islamic thing. He also claims that they are giving 10% of their profits to Kuwaiti Charities which Is pure bullshit. It’s the original Company who gives that 10% to the Palestinian children NOT the Kuwaiti children.
Read this
I found It In an old issue of “the face” magazine … Just next to a picture of Jordan (Check out the weird Coincidence, Palestine? Jordan? got It? LOL, Don’t you just miss THE FACE?
So I went off-topic a lil bit but the “butter” of this whole post Is, I find those who use Islam to promote their commercial activities as evil as those who terrorize and kill Innocent people In the name of Islam.

A Halal chicken restaurant? All the chicken served in KFC, Texas, Naif etc is halal anyway.
I wonder how hard it would be to make “Hell” “Jahanam” Cola for the rest of us. And have it in hot pink to totally clash with the rest of the coloas.

Amunki, 3adi 3adi, P.T.
It always happens with P.T.s.
Frozaq8, Oh man you are just proving my point.
They ARE Stupid. (and the factory owner too).
Shady q80, Indeed Indeed.
Amunki, There’s no relation between the pic and the article.
I just found it funny they were next to each other.
But Indeed, “Holy Hootersâ€.
Nibaq, Yeah … it’s like they will be the only ones halal (because they serve Mecca cola there) and the rest are just plain haraam because they serve Coca-Cola and Pepsi.
Jahanem Cola would be a big hit, let’s go for it.
