Where's RC cola??? That really is the best cola drink.
In the late '70s and early 80s my grandparents (grandpa was a patriarch and former mission president) were involved in a mission to further open Sri Lanka and a few other countries for the official recognition of the church and formal preaching of the gospel. Then Elder Faust told them not to drink the water, bit that US-based soft drink companies would operate under higher levels of cleanliness than locals (and the carbonation would kill anything that happend to get through). He encouraged them to drink Coke and Pepsi. Grandpa didn't much care for either, but found RC and was basically addicted to it for the rest of his life :blush: .
As an aside, my brother served his mission in Singapore and spend several months in Sri Lanka working with many of the same people our grandparents had worked with.
