No Coke For You

You know things are desperate when you cannot find a bottle of Coca-Cola anywhere in Lilongwe.  Southern Bottlers of Malawi is used to mass producing the habit-forming, heavenly nectar by the truckload but distribution has stopped.    Apparently we have a Coke shortage because there are not enough bottle caps being made to keep up with drinking demand.  No bottle caps, no Coke.
I thought it was bad enough that people are forced to line up for hours to fill their cars with gasoline but now this...Unbelievable.  Laughable, yes. Funny, NO.  I have been denied my daily afternoon guilty pleasure because Malawi has no bottle caps.
This picture was taken before the 'Great Coke Shortage of 2011' when Coke was available to the masses 
Please send help immediately in the form of tiny tin tops to P.O. Box 31711, Lilongwe 3, Malawi :)
