Coke and coffee is wrong...
Is that you Dave?
Good stuff. Danny is 'the dude'.
I am aware of Coca Cola's crimes with regard to water and other issues, in India and beyond.
But Danny Baker is not promoting Coke as a drink, but is commenting (for comedic effect) on a worldwide cultural phenomenon.
He does this about all sorts of products and, I admit, he doesn't spend time every day pointing out the impact of each one.
Many of us are aware of the context and implications of our commercial choices.
The effect of this podcast will not be to change the minds of any Danny Baker fans, but it might give him more fans; people who are aware of the issues involved, but who are too po-faced to laugh at things now and again.
Dear Bicycle made for one,
Danny is welcome to any audience that I might bring his way.
Please check out Karmabanque.
