Yes, life can be amazing! Where did you come across these interesting titbits? It will make up an interesting evening of Trivial pursuit!

Perhaps you should organise a quiz for NSL staff and see how many of these interesting things any of us know. Could be fun or could end up with us all thinking we know nothing!

Coca-cola! Green! I knew there was a reason why I never liked the stuff. I wonder just how much colouring they need to put in to cover that up?

Hi - green coke? Makes you wonder what on earth they put in it (besides vast amounts of sugar). I read somewhere that if you leave a tooth in a glass of it overnight it dizzolves all the enamel - possibly an urban myth, but who knows?
