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.

So much for the Pepsi Challenge!

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

Interesting. I wonder, however, if John would run into legal problems with Coca Cola with this post.

I was working on a deal with Pepsi for “Not John Chow Cola” but cancelled the plans when I heard that John Chow was killed by a Panda!

This has got to be one of the better April Fool’s jokes I”ve seen. Very similar to the great Swiss Spaghetti Harvest of 1957.

Coca-cola doesn’t do co-branding deals with their flagship. It’s just John experimenting or it’s an Apr 1st setup.

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.

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.

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.

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.
