Dear Sirs
I introduce myself as a Kenyan Citizen and submit the following acronyms for use by the Coca-Cola Company in a marketing campaign/s :
1. COCA-COLA: Cradle Of Cool Aqeous - Clearly Overshadowing Lame Alternatives: a case of self explanation 2. COCA-COLA: Cradle Of Classy Ales - Cultivated Originally Long Ago: a study in self explanation 3. COCA-COLA: Commodity Of Consumer Appeal - Created to Outclass Lesser Alternatives: the name speaks for itself 4. COCA-COLA: Commodities Of Consummate Artistry - Clearly Outpacing Lame Alternatives: self explanation par excellence 5.

I recall that in the 1980s the marketing slogan for the Coca Cola Company was COKE IS IT ; nowadays the slogan is ALWAYS COCA COLA.
In view of the foregoing submissions , I further submit a marketing slogan of COCA-COLA: THE NAME SPEAKS FOR ITSELF and/or COCA- COLA SPEAKS FOR ITSELF!
Should the Coca-Cola Company choose to adapt any one or all of the foregoing submissions, then I will be glad to accept whatever reward the Coca-Cola Company deems fit.
I would be extremely grateful with a reply from yourselves.
I remain, Sirs,
Yours faithfully
