HR Coke Wars

A collection of barbs traded between myself and a few of our resident artistic types.

Suffice it to say, we often give as good as we get!

Enjoy!

We have already called Coke to have the machine restocked.

We are well aware that the machine is completely empty, well aware that you may melt or worse parish from not being able to quench your thirst with a frosty soda, and well aware of how much you truly need this type of refreshment in this heat!

We maintain complete confidence that you will be able to make it through the coming hours...remember it's always darkest before the dawn!!

In case you missed the point, it will be restocked shortly.....Thanks


Flash Forward, The Hits keep Coming...

Option:
- switch to a bottle vending machine ( 20oz bottles)

- more flavor options ( see below)

Current Cans

Dr. Pepper

20oz Bottle Options

Dear HR Manager [Hey, slacker,]

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. [Congrats on getting this tiny task done in under nine months.]

It warms my heart to know that you are looking out for Diet Coke drinkers. My people rejoice! [Phooey to you, we've found other sources of refreshment and don't need your stinking chemical water.]

We are grateful for your kindness. [Ha! NOT!]

Sincerely yours, [Good riddance,]

A [Your worst nightmare]

Which Brings Us to 2009
