douG Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Excel doesn't feel like keeping track of all those digits. If you look at this carefully, the last digit in the product has to be 1 x 1 - that's how you know Excel is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 I have googled and cannot find this. Found it interesting. I cant lick my elbow,but can lick,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, From the Coca Cola website: Products And Packaging Rumors Rumor: The drink Coca-Cola® was originally green in color. Our Response: This is indeed just a rumor. Although the famous contour bottle is green, Coca-Cola has always been brown in color, since its start in 1886.
