Ramadan is almost here...

...and Coke is celebrating with special designs on their cans sold in some Muslim nations. (Wish I could get one of 'em!)


In 2006, Coca-Cola released a statement about its recognition of Ramadan.

"In a globalizing world, Ramadan presents an opportunity to showcase the true values of Islam and what it stands for," it said. "Because no other brand is as inclusive as and no other company is as diverse as Coca-Cola, we have a unique opportunity to play a valued role as an international bridge-builder and facilitator of dialogue during Ramadan."
This year Ramadan begins sometime between August 29 and September 2. (It depends on where you are geographically and a couple sites had different days listed.)
