Water written backwards spells retaw. If you adjust it a little it says retard. Are you gonna take being called a retard by water? Ban water today and stop the insults!

Her father, Doug, was equally shocked at the message, considering his younger daughter Fiona has cerebral palsy and autism.

That's horrible, but what are the chances of that happening? I'm not saying I don't believe the story, but those are just wild odds!

I was late for a flight once (in Canada) and they put a sticker on my luggage that said Retard. Just means late in French. You better believe I kept that sticker.

[-] SomethingBurger@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Surely a low percentage, but Coca Cola sells a lot of bottles, it had to happen at least once.

[-] Chariotwheel@kbin.social 32 points 1 year ago

If it's written backwards, it means the opposite. So this is quite halal.

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Or at least lalah.

CocaCola spent billions of dollars on their logo to make it a puzzle and just to have someone solve this mystery-like logo? These posts are always bs. Feels like a post from Facebook.

لا مُحَمَّد لا مكة

I'm only an Arabic beginner, but this is pretty much how you write "no mohammed, no mekka".

The post is a bit farfetched, one might even call it bullshit.

[-] Case@unilem.org 9 points 1 year ago

You mean someone would go on the internet and just tell lies?

Say it ain't so.

Also, any "proof" that is presented as an edited image is clearly disingenuous from the beginning.

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Lol, I speak Arabic as a native language, and I know damn well that you translated incorrectly.

It's not "لا", it's "لِ", which means "for", "to", or "of", as in "for/to/of Mohammed".

So yeah, it's not as bad as you think.

If you listen to princes of the universe by queen backwards it says "did you really just do that, wow you're so gullible" and quite frankly this has made it my favourite track to listen to.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

When you play Weird Al's Nature Trail to Hell backwards, you hear, "Satan eats Cheez Whiz."

"Oh friends we got trouble. Right here in River City. That starts with 'T' which rhymes with 'P' and that stands for 'Pool'."

[-] zeppo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I'm really sure that's what they were thinking when they designed their logo.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Seems like a whole lot of work to trick Muslims into not drinking something they were drinking anyway...

Pepsi's ok, though. Right?

Edit: Forgot the word not

[-] cloaker@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

It's convincing Muslims to not drink it.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, I get that. But why?

Edit: Oh, I see now. I left the word 'not' out of my previous post. Apologies.

[-] z3n0x@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

Aight, umma head out …

[-] b147@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

oh thats an old one , even when it spread around 5th graders over 15 years ago we thought it was farfetched bullshit

[-] Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I saw this on Facebook back in the day. This was to troll brain dead people on the net, like how grandpa joe shares random memes with words meaning 666.

I am a Sunni imam, this is fake. Coke is haram because it has lard in it.

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago

Long shot but I could see this being a sneaky ad targeting the same type of person who buys clothing with "infidel" written in Arabic and goes around explaining that to anyone who will listen. Bonus points if they totally would've joined the military during the GWOT era but didn't want to end up punching a drill instructor/sergeant/whatever the taxi service and chair force have.

Billy Badass and friends give a bump in sales so they can find opportunities to spread the "knowledge", people think about the product more than they otherwise would due to controversy and if the response is overwhelmingly negative, the company doesn't even have to play the damage control game since their fingerprints aren't anywhere on it.

Not saying I think this is the case but it'd make for an interesting leaked memo.
