Hugo Chavez has zero tolerance for Coke Zero

The Venezuelan government of U.S.-critic President Hugo Chavez on Wednesday ordered Coca-Cola Co to withdraw its Coke Zero beverage from the South American nation, citing unspecified dangers to health, Reuters reports.
The decision follows a wave of nationalizations and increased scrutiny of businesses in South America's top oil exporter.

Health Minister Jesus Mantilla said the zero-calorie Coke Zero should no longer be sold and stocks of the drink removed from store shelves while the government investigated its ingredients. The government's news agency:

“The product should be withdrawn from circulation to preserve the health of Venezuelans”.


Wow, I wonder how many Coke Zeros Harper chugs back a day? Prolly like 10 during every bible study.
