eskimo tooth fairy

Eskimos and Coca-Cola. A natural fit to be sure. War and Coca-Cola from 1943. America’s brands comforting the men defending democracy and help making friends! But the big question: Do Eskimos kiss and make up by rubbing their noses together. Yes and No. Coke rubs their noses in it through ruining their fragile eco-digestive system. Yes. If they actually kissed their lips would freeze except there is something in Coke that prevents this, causing the lips to pucker up and ask for more. To hell with the damn Narwhals and Seals. Chips, Donuts and Coke over baseball….

Eric Schlosser, Charles Wilson: …she has very strong feelings about junk food and soda pop. Several members of her family drink four to five cans of soda a day. Like many other Native Americans and Eskimos today, they’ve lost almost all their teeth.

The Coke planes were a strange sight, with their brightly painted soda ads, flying over 22 million acres of wilderness. The year after Coke painted the planes, it paid Trajan Langdon, the first Alaskan player in the National Basketball Association and a hero to many Eskimo children, to fly into Yupik village. Langdon arrived in Coke planes, visited children at schools, and gave out free t-shirts. “Young people in the small villages and towns of the Alaska bush often don’t have the same opportunities as their big city counterparts,” Coca-Cola said in a press release announcing the visits. “They seldom come into contact with anyone outside their small town.
