MOST of the media attention at the time of the drug-related tragedies late last year focused on cocaine. Once the darling of the moneyed young, coke is now breaking out beyond its previously narrow social confines, due both to increased affluence and to decreased cost. We are apparently witnessing the democratisation of the cocaine problem.

A California Highway Patrol officer is accused of breaking into an evidence locker and stealing more than $1 million worth of cocaine, prosecutors said.

The new album Midnight LIfe is available only through myspace.com/thefixxers . I think the dynamic duo is on the frits. It looks as if they may finally be breaking up. This is supposedly their last album together. Quik has hooked up with Snoop Dogg and AMG is dropping his solo album Rum and Coke. This is another sad moment in Hip Hop History.

Coca-Cola is a cola (a type of carbonated soft drink) sold in stores, restaurants and vending machines in more than 200 countries. It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company and is often referred to simply as Coke. 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 actually produces concentrate for Coca-Cola, which is then sold to various 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 in cans and bottles to retail stores and vending machines. Such bottlers include Coca-Cola Enterprises, which is the single largest Coca-Cola bottler in North America, Australia, Asia and Europe. The Coca-Cola Company also sells concentrate for fountain sales to major restaurants and food service distributors.The Coca-Cola Company has, on occasion, introduced other cola drinks under the Coke brand name. The most common of these is Diet Coke, which has become a major diet cola. However, others exist, including Diet Coke Caffeine-Free, Cherry Coke, Coca-Cola Zero, Vanilla Coke and special editions with lemon and with lime, and even with coffee.
