Cocaine can

I've found I like to keep a dimple in the side of my coke can, no bigger than a dime, which fits my thumb knuckle. In this way I faciliate the raising of it to my lips for a sip. It's actually diet coke, the silver can with red, white, and silver logo.

On my way in I wandered onto the fact that Coke is so common in usage, as a word and as a drink, that most folks don't ever connect Coke the brand to cocaine, the illegal substance which gives its name, harking back to a time when this stuff was new and unregulated. Then in another instance of random connectedness, I had to laugh at this on best-of craigslist.
