All good guesses - (well...except for Larry... sheesh) but nobody has hit it yet.  

I will wait until this evening and if nobody gets it, I'll post a few clues.   :smile:

India
Good guess Leonard, esp since I was in India for a few weeks earlier this year, but not quite.  Oddly all of the Coke (cans) I saw in India were in English.

Congrats Ed ! 

Yes, this bottle was schlepped (<- see what I did there?) the whole way back from Israel for me by one of my employees.

You win one whole shekel.   Roughly 27 cents, but unfortunately this contest is void outside the Continental US, so I'll just keep it.    :tounge:

Incidentally - as you would expect, this Coke is kosher and is made with cane sugar.

It all looks Chinese to me  :Oo:

My wife was a manager of a high end jewellery store (by app. only) and 99999.99999 % (I got that from Inglorious bastards lol) of the clients were Jewish, and although she has not worked there for 7 years now, she STILL says MANY words in Hebrew (mostly when I do something bad lol)

Oie Vey (sp) is the most common lol.

I always did wonder why Coca Cola spelled in script is not always the same around the world.  I know it's "English", yet the way it's written with that old st lye script alone is a "symbol" that I always thought transends cultures and languages
