<\/p>\nDanville’s local Coca-Cola sales staff wants extra sales and there’s nothing wrong with that. So “Have a Coke and a AAAAAIIIIEEEEE!!!!!!!!!” Heh.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This has been making Ye Olde Internet Rounds since Monday. The local Coca-Cola plant on Trade Street has put this friendly presentation out for local restaurants…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Yes. It’s official. We have a “Danville Water Crisis” now. It’s true because salespeople from Coke just might want to sell more bottled drinks, so maybe that’s the “Crisis”? For the price of about 20 cases of Coca-Cola bottled drinks, a restaurant could buy and install a commercial water filtration system which would last forever, even after this “Crisis” is over.<\/p>\n
I’m not going to totally mock this Coca-Cola presentation because there are lessons to be learned from this What I am going to have fun with is Danville’s Coca-Cola sales staff using the word “Crisis”. Words have meanings. The stinky water has a horrible taste and I’m still using bottled water, but the non-stinky water is making its way through the distribution system now (and has been for a while). The city staff blew it when they turned off the carbon filtration system after the Big Green Algae Blob passed through the water intake valve. That’s what caused Round #2 of the stinky water problem. But the water always has been safe to drink, even though I am not drinking it now. That has never changed. Nobody has died from drinking the treated drinking water. Nobody has gotten sick from drinking the treated drinking water.<\/p>\n The water tastes horrible and I’m having to buy bottled water to drink. That’s a serious inconvenience. It’s not a “Crisis”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Danville’s local Coca-Cola sales staff wants extra sales and there’s nothing wrong with that.
