Choose your side. This fan war has been ongoing for over 130 years.
Celebrity Buzz The new tell-all from Joe McGinniss—The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin—isn't even out yet, but the skeeziest bits are already oozing into the media septic tank. Here are the tabloidiest allegations leveled at Sarah and Todd Palin from The National Enquirer's report on the book.
Food Buzz Reverse direction and drink faster! I think it's time for a special edition aluminum can renaissance.

As Coca-Cola marks its 125th year in business, celebratory can designs seem to be popping up all over the place. In addition to the new Diet Coke look rolling out in September, design firms around the world have been creating packaging for the flags…
This video is kind of awesome. Duane was 29 and decided to see the world. Since Coca-Cola was available everywhere he decided to film himself drinking a Coke in every country. The results are pretty cool. I know this seems like Coke paid for him to do this, but according to his other vlogs (ugh), he went $22,000 into debt to make the trip. I think he was hoping Coke would hop in and sponsor it, but I'm not sure they did. Regardless check out his video. (via viralviralvideos.com)

The Coke code has been cracked!
Not to be confused with this coke cake. I think it's red velvet flavored.
Footage from TMZ that allegedly depicts the beginning of the bender that led to Charlie Sheen's hospitalization. Charlie's cutting a rug shortly after cutting some lines.
Culture Buzz A menagerie of internet animals who enjoy massive amounts of cocaine. But seriously, kids, don't do drugs (with animals).
Diet Coke & Mentos at 1000 frames per second is an unusually sensual experience.
This video has been making the rounds, but it's hard to tell if it's actually Demi Lovato's much ballyhooed drug tape. Regardless, that's one massive rail of booger sugar.
All over America the timeless debate still exists: is it called POP or SODA? See for yourself what parts of the country get it right (or wrong).
Food Buzz Some clever marketing from Coca Cola. Inverted pyramid displays of Coke Zero at supermarkets to show that the impossible can happen. Apparently there was a 13 percent sales increase at some stores due to this display. Well played, Coke. [Jack's note: Unfortunately, Coke Zero still tastes like vomit.]
Here in California, we call soda, well…soda. But in other parts of the nation when we want a sweet, carbonated beverage, we need to change our tune and ask for a “pop,” a “coke,” or any one of a dozen other regional nicknames for the drinks.
Over 2400 bottles of Coke were launched skywards, beating the previous record, which was set in China.
The most refreshing crib sheet ever. Possibly more work than actually learning the material for the test, but it's the idea that counts.
In a creepy 4chan nutshell: someone used a bunch of techie data from an anonymous “I'm Doing Drugs At Work” post and traced it to the White House. (It's almost certainly not from the real White House.) My money is on Peter Orszag!
The evolution of the Coke bottle design in one image. I really like the label on the second version.
I guess if you've already bought the world a Coke, this is the next logical step? Those Furby-things are kind of cute though.
Celebrity Buzz Stupid kinda-feud alert! On the prospect of Lindsay Lohan playing her in a biopic, Stevie Nicks said, “Over my dead body. She needs to stop doing drugs and get a grip. Then maybe we'll talk.” Tough talk coming from a witch. Now, is it us, or are these ladies slowly looking more and more like one another?
Silly American Apparel…hipsters don't need babies! Wait 5 for $20? How many babies for a dime bag of coke? That might spark up some interest…
