Don't get me wrong, everyday Coca-Cola Classic is the most refreshing soda-pop on the market, always has been, always will be. But somehow the last two months of every year, Coca-Cola is able to stock grocery store shelves with the finest tasting pop the world has ever tasted, Christmas Coca-Cola.
There is something indescribable about Christmas Coca-Cola. I'd stake my reputation as the world's greatest writer on it. Some magical ingredient must be added to every batch of Christmas Coke.
"Oh Adam, it's simply the effect of the Christmas Spirit, you receive from gazing at the Christmas Coke packaging, you silly handsome man." people would say to me.
"Nay." I would respond.
In 50 blind taste tests I picked the Christmas Coke 101 times.
Unfortunately, the results from taste tests I conducted were not as conclusive.
It turns out only 50% of the individuals I tested were able to taste the difference. Baffled by the results, I conducted a second test on the same individuals, a joy test.
After the joy test, my Christmas Coke results made perfect sense. It turns out the people that could taste the difference in Christmas Coke, were the same people that tested positive for joy. Christmas Coke can only be tasted by people that have joy in their lives!
In order to taste the most joyous beverage of the season, you have to work for it, the other 10 months out of the year. Try a little extra every day, to let joy inside your life. Whether it be laughing at a joke, drawing a picture, or simply relaxing with an amazing book, do your part to make your life cheerful.
And for those of you that think I'm full of it and have no intentions of adding any joy to your lives, you may want to try Pepsi's holiday soda, it's right up your alley.
