Hugo Chávez hates America, and now he's banning a product close to our hearts: Coke Zero.
"The product should be withdrawn from circulation to preserve the health of Venezuelans," said Health Minister Jesus Mantilla, offering little clarification as to what dire health threats Coke Zero presents.
Coke says there's no harmful ingredients in the product but has agreed to pull Coke Zero while that crazy government investigates the dangers of full-flavored diet soft drinks.
It's also possible Chávez could have discovered that Coke Zero is often used as a main ingredient in the subversive, capitalist cocktail the Cuba libre.
We are just hilarious this morning.
