"An emphasis on function rather than design"
One day, a mad scientist-in-training was cooking up some napalm when, while he was taking a break and drinking a nice, healthy bottle of Coke, one of the lethal chemicals he had on hand, Vanilla X, spilled into his coke. He took a sniff of this new drink and found it smooth. He was intrigued by this smell and decided to have a test subject try out what it tasted like.
The test subject tried the new drink and, right before his stomach exploded, he said that the Vanilla X-Coke mixture was amazingly smooth and intriguing. The now-mad scientist decided to use regular vanilla in the coke and, when another subject drank this, he also thought that it was smooth and intiguing. His stomach, however, didn't explode. This disappointed the doctor.
The doctor decided to send this new mixture to the Coca-Cola factory. He tried to sell them the Vanilla X-Coke, but they thought that was a little too dangerous. This started a horrible chain of events that goes on today. The company paid the scientist millions of dollars for his genius idea. He was disgruntled, however, because they did not buy his Vanilla X-Coke.
He now uses the money he made to go to the numerous Coca-Cola factories around the United States and pour Vanilla X into the vats of Vanilla Coke around the globe. You shouldn't worry about this, though. I'm pretty sure he hasn't gotten to your town.....yet.
(I hate the ending as well, but anything to imagine someone's stomach exploding.)
