An intellectual joke


Got this from a friend...

There has been allegations against the soft drink giants for exploiting the underground water resources in their manufacturing plants thereby leaving the cultivable lands arid which has badly impacted agriculture.It's so sad- no doubt.Besides this, the fizzy drinks were always targeted by many for  being unhealthy , causing obesity among youth and for being unethical foreign players crushing the indigenous manufacturers.
