John Chow Cola – The Official Blogger Drink

written by John Chow on March 31st, 2008

John Chow Cola

The Official Blogger Drink

John Chow, Inc., publisher of John Chow dot Com and The Coca-Cola Company, maker of the number 1 selling soft drink in the world, has entered into a licensing agreement to produce John Chow Cola, The Official Blogger Drink.

When bloggers drink John Chow Cola, post ideas will “pop” into their heads because of the drink’s Liquid Neuro Enhancers. A blogger will never get writer’s block again if he drinks John Chow Cola.

“John Chow Cola taps into a market The Coca-Cola Company has been trying to reach for years without much success. By partnering the world’s best known blogger with the world’s number 1 brand, we’re sure John Chow Cola will become one of the top selling Coca-Cola products. John Chow Cola tastes great and offers increased productivity for bloggers.”

Neville Isdell – Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, The Coca-Cola Company

John Chow Cola will ship in cans for the North American market. Markets outside North American will receive John Chow Cola in the classic Coke bottle. A Diet John Chow Cola will shortly follow.

Made with Liquid Neuro Enhancers

John Chow Cola is the first drink in the world to use Liquid Neuro Enhancers (LNE). A technology that took The Coca-Cola Company over ten years to develop. Unlike a sport drinks that only enhance physical performance, the LNE used in John Chow Cola enhances the brain’s ability to come up with new blog post ideas. One drink is all it takes to get a sugar rush of ideas pouring in.

With over 120 million bloggers on the Internet and 175,000 joining everyday, the market for John Chow Cola is huge and untapped. Being first to market means John Chow Cola will be The Official Blogger Drink.

  1. So much for the Pepsi Challenge!

    Who needs Red Bull when you can have John Chow Cola!? Can I do a review on it?

  2. Shouldn’t this be posted on April 1st?

  3. David Lin

    Wow sweet. Nice job John!

  4. darnit, I’m more of a pepsi guy, but heck send em to italy and i’ll have em

  5. Yea, some good Photoshoppin’ on the bottle there, if we could only believe it.

  6. Don’t know if this a joke or not but i still want one. :lol:

  7. The concept is that an April fool’s joke needs to be believable. This is not. So it’s not even slightly amusing. Posting it a day early, oh, tricky.

  8. It’s some good stuff, John already sent me a case

  9. Eight ounce bottle? That’s so not enough sugar for the root of all evil.

  10. Niceeeee. Send me a free bottle please!

  11. Yep. Screwed up the timestamp again. :twisted:

  12. Sounds awesome – i’ll take a pack!

  13. Would be awesome to see, even though I don’t drink pop, I may take it up.

  14. I don’t believe this for one moment.
    It’s march 31st, but you’re putting t his on early.

  15. Will the additive make me grow hair so that I can have a flat top like you also? If so send me two 6 packs.

  16. I’ll take some! Though if this turns out to be an April Fools joke, I’ll gladly settle for a 2 liter of Diet Coke to go with this rum.

  17. Tom

    Oh boy what a great April Fools joke, even better than ProBlogger’s Tweet for pay post. Ok all you professional bloggers out there, it was cute once, let’s move along!

  18. MMMmmmm…. That John Chow Cola just makes my mouth go “more! more!”

    What’s Next?

    Zac Johnson Mt. Dew?

    Funny… Happy April 1.

  19. John

    “The Icon” for “The Web Icon”…cliche’ that works. Thanks for promoting idea generation.

  20. Cool! I’m in Atlanta and Coke is not just “the real thing” it is the only thing to drink here. Congrats on your marketing opportunity, John!

  21. I expected better from you today, John. Still holding out hope…

  22. Sha

    Well, it looks like it worked because some people are seriously debating as to whether it’s true or not, ha.

  23. Well, it might be cool if it is/were true, but like others have already said, I have a sneaky suspicion that this post is meant for tomorrow and the great Chow is trying to make fools of all of us :D . You can go ahead and send me some free soda (or traffic) anyways John.

  24. It is now 1 April where I am, good timing!

  25. Dave

    I love Coke.

    Hook it up John!

  26. I have a feeling there is going to be 10,000 comments on here by the end of April fools :razz: Posting a day early is kind of sneaky though.

    My Terry Tay Tators deal is in the works as well, so perhaps people can wash them down with a John Chow Cola.
    ~Terry

  27. Preferred Tim Ferris’ joke but I like the modifications to that bottle picture.

  28. Gag or no gag, very creative! Great job on the Coke labels!

  29. John, absolutely Genius Post, no wonder you are so well read by the masses. I think this is your best post yet, I think I’m going to buy stock in Coca-Cola now. :wink:

  30. If it was really John Chow Cola, it would be DIET…because that’s all he drinks! :lol:

    I call Shenanigans! :D

  31. You bet I want John Chow Cola!! Sound sweet too :)

  32. You bet I want John Chow Cola! When will I get it? :)

  33. Jim

    Meh, not a very good prank this year ;)

  34. weird, I already submit comment a few nothing. Nothing show up. Yes I want one of john chow cola.

  35. Send me a case please!!! I need some post ideas.

  36. Hook it up John!
    Coca Cola Classic is my favorite.
    Although if your John Chow Cola Is going back to the original formula I want a truckload :twisted:
    You guys remember the original formula right. just remove cola from the name :twisted: :twisted:

  37. lol.
    Who was the photoshop’er :mrgreen:

    Happy Fools day :lol:

  38. The fact that some people aren’t sure whether or not this is true….is very sad….seriously, lol.

  39. I would have believed it a April Fool joke had JC posted a title like
    ‘John Chow – The Official President 2009-2014′

    :lol:

  40. This would actually be a very good idea if it weren’t April Fools. You are right, this really is a heavily untapped market. I for one would sure by the John Chow Cola’s. Seriously John, you should actually go talk to Coca-Cola about this, you might have something here.

  41. :grin:
    Never hard of another more ingenious April Fool Prank!
    Good one John!

  42. Yeah I saw that at the Gas Station. However i’m more of a Pepsi fan :cool:

  43. Swallowing John Chow cola just seems kinda wrong somehow…. :wink:

  44. May be you should send few cases to guys at techcrunch. they are suiing FaceBook for 25 mill… they need few drinks in a fear of big lawyers…

  45. james

    Thats beacuse of his YouTube Shitty video LOL.

  46. Yes, happy April Fools’ Day!!!
    That was a good one, I like the logo, lol

  47. Thiago Prado

    hey John,

    Great product fellow and I need ideas now… maybe if you give some of this cola I can find a way to hack google adsense… lol :lol:
    by the way. you don’t have to pay me a airfare cause I already live here in NY.
    see you…

  48. I love Coca-Cola…. you really had me going!

  49. John, you have to claim against Coca Cola because you are making them more popular!
    Nice
    Howto Be Happy Every Day

  50. haha… Last years was better… more evil :evil:

  51. I think John is better at talking shit in video than writing about it in his blog.

  52. Vitaliy

    can some one get Chows Fanta :razz:

  53. Happy April Fools to you too, John.

    I still want some JC cola though.. Now that’d be impressive. ;)

  54. Did he come up with the that while he was making the viral video?

  55. Did mr nice guy mention there will be a “JOHN COW” drink instead of CHOW? :) Great April’s Fools!

    -Mike

  56. Maybe you can send some of these people a bottle of “Lighten Up” to go with their John Chow Cola :)

  57. another viral idea to popularize your blog… good going for your thoughts

  58. :evil: John somehow you’ve done it again. If this is real, I want some!

  59. Genius. Though I must apologise that I didn’t follow your advice on Wordpress 2.5. My site has been compromised :(

  60. Would anyone ever believe in this?
    COme on John, you used to have better ideas…

  61. I hope this is true so i can get free drinks :)
    nice

  62. To truly enjoy John Chow Cola (JCC :lol: ) and reach the ultimate experience, you must buy Pizza.com currently offered on Sedo.com auction for $2.5 Million!

    Enjoy!

  63. I’d love to hold the John Chow Cola can in my hand…

  64. If the original cola contained cocaine, can we ask what your ’secret’ ingredient is???

  65. This actually might happen in the future!! HAHA

  66. nice , can i get one? mitch matsuno cola coming soon!

  67. Hahaha, very interesting and creative :)

  68. kkk

    soooooooooooooo obvious ….

  69. I love the number of people here who actually believe this is real….

  70. I can order John Chow Cola only today? Or its possible order another day?

  71. You couldnt prank people easily this time.. But the write up of this post is really nice ;)
    I am wondering if John Cow makes “Cow milk cola” ha ha..

  72. LMAO! I actually believed that until I remembered it is the fools day! :D

  73. Great April Fool. Too bad I found it whilst searching popular websites for pranks today.

    Keep up the good work John.

  74. Brady Ware

    HMMMMM should I say April fools. But hey just in case it’s real pick me pick me John I want to go.

  75. clearly a joke. Why not sign a deal with McD for a McChow Burger!

  76. hey … what date is today ? 1st of april :shock: ?

  77. Hmm,
    I would like to try this product on April 1, 2009! :-)

  78. I also would LOVE to try this John Chow Cola so I can write better quality blogs! Thanks.

  79. Hey , I love Coca Cola and I love John Chow’s blog!! So with this I get them both!! Neato , I want some.

  80. This is just awesome! How cool of you, john!

  81. this was a good joke, not like next one

  82. You forgot to mention programming your mind with the basics of Marketing Metaphysics while you drink John Chow Cola :wink:

  83. You are a big goat:D i lol’d so damn hard!

  84. Pickme, picke me! I sure could use some neuro enhancers!

  85. Can I drink this in Asia Pac or in Malaysia??? must be sweeter n nicer than normal cokes :razz: :razz:

  86. You’re teaming up with the world’s best brand – Coca Cola. We’re so proud of you. I’m a Coca Cola lover, and I can’t wait to get two JohnChow Cola, one for me to taste, and the other one for collection!

  87. Uf, I hope I am not too late to get free :cool: John Chow Cola. I hope you will send me in :?: Slovenia, where I am at this moment

  88. Wow…
    John you could really get in trouble if Coca cola is pissed off with this claims. I have nothing against this, but when I first read it, it looks real. I almost blogged about IT!!!!!!! :mrgreen:

    But really… especially in country like US and Canada, this could lead to serious legal battle. Furthermore, you are famous John and it makes you very loud.

  89. OK. I have to admit that the pics were great. Even though I know the concept is a fake, I am still compelled to respond. Sure. I’ll be “waiting” for my 6-pack. ;)

  90. Seriously, when i first saw the post, i thought it was real and never thought it was April Fool’s joke. I even send this post to a few of my friends to tell them, look at what John Chow had done. He did a Cola with Coke! How foolish i was! :twisted: :twisted:

  91. Tasvir Khalili

    yea, free case of coke…what its fake…why man :sad:

  92. heck I’ll comment for a free 6 pack(even though I prefer pepsi!! Ah, so it was an April fools joke, oh my!!

  93. Kn10

    April Fools? I thought it was real. There are actually many places where you can get drinks branded with your own brand. I see alot of resturants sell beer with their own logo on it.

  94. Neuro enhancement is right up my ally. Too bad its just an april fool’s joke.

  95. Do it for Pepsi next year ;) To be honest I don’t make difference :) both taste almost the same… especially with many ice in there. Pepsi pays more… so you’re doing this for them next year ;)

  96. Pepsi pays more. Do one for them next year :wink:

  97. eh.. is available in Asia yet? John send me one for souvenir free :)
