Well, if I was drinking a coke right now I would probably have snorted it after reading that. I prefer tonic water, actually. It has quinine in it, which is helpful against malaria. Personal trivia: I used to carry a .30-30 in the woods back in the days when there was still some old-growth larch out there. Old-growth larch often had big conks of a fungus (Fomes laricis in those days--I have no idea what taxonomists call it now). One of these conks meant that the tree was useless as lumber, but if I had my .30-30 I could shoot it off and sell it in town, where it was aggregated and eventually converted to quinine. Nowadays there are very few of these left, which makes it fortunate that we can now synthesize quinine. Darn, I lost my excuse for carrying a .30-30 everywhere. Whatever made his nose itch, I don't think zero snorted Coca Cola or Tonic Water either one. It must have been something else.
