Child

A few years ago, I was in charge of my five-year-old niece for the day.  As is often the case with five-year-olds, I was about to get a whole lot more than I bargained for. 

I needed to run to the office for a minute--I was then the CEO of Virtual Shopping Inc., an early e-commerce player later sold to Europe's Wallenberg Group--so I told her to get in the car.  As we walked to the garage, she looked down at the carpet and asked me how carpet is made.  I knew there were big machines that sewed it, or something like that, but I didn't know much more.  She was clearly disappointed.

When we got to the car, she tapped on the window and asked me how to make glass.  I explained that it involved fire and sand.  She looked at me like I was crazy.  I was losing, two-zip.  To a kindergartner.

When we got to the office, my niece did what all kids her age do.  She questionedeverything.  "What is that thing?  Why do you have two of those?  What does that guy do?  Why is that girl on the phone all the time?"

Love

On Intimacy

I have to live on my own or else I melt.

It’s not just a question of shutting a door, it’s a psychological, womb thing. 

It’s not that I don’t want you, it’s that I’m afraid of wanting only you, of finding there’s nothing left of me.

So excuse it as a part of my general fucked-upness.

~ ‘Essays in Love’, Alain de Botton

coca cola

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores, restaurants, and vending machines in every country except Cuba and North Korea. It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company of Atlanta, Georgia, and is often referred to simply asCoke (a registered trademark of The Coca-Cola Company in the United States since March 27, 1944). Originally intended as a patent medicine when it was invented in the late 19th century by John Pemberton, Coca-Cola was bought out by businessman Asa Griggs Candler, whose marketing tactics led Coke to its dominance of the world soft-drink market throughout the 20th century.

The company produces concentrate, which is then sold to licensed Coca-Cola bottlers throughout the world. The bottlers, who hold territorially exclusive contracts with the company, produce finished product in cans and bottles from the concentrate in combination with filtered water and sweeteners. The bottlers then sell, distribute and merchandise Coca-Cola to retail stores and vending machines. Such bottlers include Coca-Cola Enterprises, which is the largest single Coca-Cola bottler in North America and western Europe. The Coca-Cola Company also sells concentrate for soda fountains to major restaurants and food service distributors.
