  1. dethscul says:

    LOLcats are doing Coke advertisements now? Saffem!

  2. Jennifer says:

    SOMEBODY was on acid…

  3. Darkailleam says:

    I’ll never drink Coke again… there can’t be anything natural in “flasdrs”

    • Droll not Troll says:

      Even worse, I think it says “MATURAL”. They’re old flasdrs!

      • JohnB says:

        Well, if your Dr has a flask and he’s reached the age of Maturalty, and he’s more or less conscious and talking coherently, then I suppose his drinking can’t be too awful bad. Sometimes the devil you know…

  4. Jess says:

    I get sick if I have to many flasdrs.

  5. Droll not Troll says:

    Oaramel colon? Could that be worse than animal colon?

    • JohnB says:

      Obviously it’s supposed to be caramel colon, which is probably a delicacy somewhere. If the Scots can eat haggis…

      • Mark. Gooley says:

        Carmel Colon might be like Montezuma’s Revenge, only you get it in Israel or from Carmelite nuns or friars or something like that…

      • hollyr57 says:

        Hey noo, as a descendent of a Scots family and a visitor to a Scots hotel in London, I can tell ya tha it’s noo so bad, tha haggis. Once. I didn’t spit it out.

  6. JohnB says:

    So we finallly know Doc Pemberton’s secret! If we can only understand it…

  7. Droll not Troll says:

    I don’t want phonic acid anywhere near d’nob!!

    • toilet shark says:

      No, it’s dnobphonic acid; if you take this acid, it makes you sound like you’re from Dnob.

  8. JohnB says:

    Well, I googled “Milsut” and got 8 (as in eight!) hits, half of which were in other languages and all of which appeared to be referring to “Milsut” as a proper name. So unless there’s a Milsut among our little community here, I’m afraid we’ll never know!

  9. mamarosa says:

    They got ‘carbonated’ right??

  10. JohnB says:

    I had to take organic chemistry twice, since I managed a D the first time (and when I got a B the second time, I was prouder of that B than any A I ever got), but I sure don’t remember any dnobphonic acid. I know Dr. H is an old lab rat–does that ring any bells for you??

    • Droll not Troll says:

      I don’t get the DR H ref.
      The acid must be phosphoric. It puts the bite in colas, and takes the bite out of your molars.

      • Jennifer says:

        Toilet shark…formerly known as Dr. Handle

        • JohnB says:

          Should we refer to her as “TAFKADH,” as in the artist formerly known as Dr. Handle, or just Toilet Shark? Or does she have a glyph now?

          • unpronounceable squiggle says:

            The acid in coke is phosphoric acid. I think the “oaramel colon” may refer to “caramel colour”, but how “caffeine” ended up as “saffem” is anybody’s guess. Maybe this is actually a phonic rendering from Dnobian.
            We have a 500 g bottle of crystalline caffeine (AR grade) in the lab. I’ve been joking for years about cutting down on teabreak times by brewing up a solution, whacking it through a 0.2um filter and setting up IV infusions. This picture suggests that someone else has beaten me to it, and started ingesting lab reagents already.

          • Jennifer says:

            How about this
            厕所鲨鱼

            or this
            トイレサメ

            or even this?
            화장실 상어

          • hollyr57 says:

            We could call her Dr. Toilet Handle. No?

        • Droll not Troll says:

          *facepalm* Of course! My excuse is that I should have been asleep at the time (maybe I was!) I thought JohnB was referring to Dr Horrible, the musical.

  11. UpTheYingYang says:

    An Oaramel colonic will fix you right up!

  12. Crashdaddy says:

    It’s secret code…look at the words spelled correctly:
    COKE: Red Carbonated Colon Acid

  13. saywhat says:

    oooh. mah daddy used to mine milsut ore. came home all red and stuff.

  14. Joseph says:

    Donning my Captain Obvious cape, I believe it’s supposed to be the ingredients for Coke:

    * Carbonated Water
    * Sugar (High Fructose Corn Syrup in the US)
    * Caramel Color
    * Phosphoric Acid
    * Natural Flavors
    * Caffeine

    What the Red Millsut Ore is I haven’t a clue.

    • KinkyTom says:

      maybe it’s the color of the can

    • JohnB says:

      “Dnobphonic” for “phosphoric” is a pretty major screw-up, although I can see that possibly being done by OCR. But “caffeine” to “saffeh” doesn’t even have the right number of characters. But still I think the big mystery here is the Red Milsut (one L, please) Ore…

  15. tea says:

    I’ll just have water, I think.

  16. hastur says:

    As far as I can tell, the way people get their “English” inscriptions for cool T-shirts is by picking up a piece of random text and copying it by eye. Since they don’t recognize the letters, they pick similar-looking ones (d for p, n for h…)

    …Kind of the way people make “Chinese” inscriptions for cool T-shirts over here.

    • Crashdaddy says:

      Is there an “Asian Funny” website? That would be a culture shock.

      • McBee says:

        Lot’s of them, actually.
        There’s Hanzi Smatter for the abuse of Kanji symbols by mostly westerners, and I saw a bunch of “Missspelled Japanese” sites that get their material mostly from China (HK included) or Singapore.

        • hastur says:

          I ♥ Hanzi Smatter. Look up “crazy diarrhea tattoo” to find what is probably their funniest scoop…

  17. dr handle says:

    A Meaning Of Liff opportunity! What exactly is “red milsut”? List your submissions here!
    - The lurid red patch that appears on the tongue of someone who eats a red icy-pole.
    - The persistent fluff that covers an entire load of dark laundry if one red sock finds its way into the washing machine.

    • JohnB says:

      Well, Sutter’s Mill was where gold was first found in California just prior to the big gold rush of 1849, so perhaps “Milsut” is a contraction of Sutter’s Mill. And while the miners all looked for gold, they neglected the red ore that, it turns out, is used to fuel some varieties of modern spacecraft, especially the cigar-shaped “mother ships” from which discs emerge. So essentially this is a promise from aliens to provide Earthlings with their most valuable resource, Coca-Cola, in exchange for quantities of the Red Milsut Ore.

    • Droll not Troll says:

      - The liquid left in the bowl after consuming certain Chinese meals.

      Red milsut ore – The raw material used to make scoria.

    • A shopkeeper in Ipswich says:

      Red Milsut ore is the pigment responsible for bright orange hair dye. That’s why I never drink Coke. Red Milsut will dye your insides orange.

  18. eldiem says:

    Red milsut ore:
    - is Everbilena’s secret ingredient that “cover power greatly does UP!”
    - makes Rudolph’s nose glow
    - is the latest crayon from Crayola.

    Hmm…. red milsut ore may not even be part of the ingredient list…. it’s at the top and not centered, like the others are. Tis a mystery! Kinda looks like it was copied from what they heard rather than what they saw, with typos, and with a partial understanding of the English alphabet. Like putting ‘m’ instead of ‘n’ twice, and ‘h’ on words that are supposed to end in ‘r.’

  19. notolaf says:

    Finally! The Truth about Coke!

  20. david&goliath says:

    Is it possible that red milsut ore could be registered trademark?

  21. dukethepcdr says:

    I’ve seen lots of Coke shirts but not one with an attempt at listing the ingredients. Especially not one so poorly spelled. I suspect some poor soul made this himself as I doubt Coke would allow something like this to be made from a factory.

  22. Dr. Mrs. The Monarch says:

    Hmm. How (and why) do ingredient lists get printed on shirts? Coke label, I get. Ingredient list…not so much.

  23. Snowbody says:

    Saffem = caffeine is easy to see. S=C obviously, S sort of looks like a “capital” C. And IN = M is an easy mistake to make by eye or by OCR. Dunno where the last E went.

  24. Alexander says:

    Spy’s Saffem Mah Sentry!
