There’s only two places on this hellrock where Coca-Cola isn’t the highest selling beverage.
Scotland, where some orange-flavoured rev-up juice is the best-seller and South Australia where iced coffee outsells everything else.
But Scotland is in the throes of the virus right now, their IRN BRU as it’s called, is offering Europe’s Kiwis no protection.
But in South Australia, it’s a very different story.
The only thing that sets South Australia apart from the rest of the country is a weird sense of genetic superiority and their heavy consumption of Farmers Union Iced Coffee.
Therefore, the government says, the chilled dairy treat could be offering some sort of protection against the virus.
Scientists are already calling Farmers Union Iced Coffee the next hydroxychloroquine, which is an anti-malarial drug made famous by US President Donald Trump and his seemingly pathetic Australian impersonator, Clive Palmer.
The latter has spent large sums of money purchasing the drug on the open market in recent weeks, he’s also spent large sums of money telling people about it with full-page ads in the nation’s last major daily newspapers.
The Advocate has placed a request for comment on the Farmers Union developments with Mr Palmer’s office but has yet to receive a reply.
Representatives from the South Australian government have also yet to reply.
More to come.
