Trouble with banning advertising is that it's a massive industry - one of our biggest - and a ban would be another blow to our creative industries.
I'm not saying advertising is good - I exclusively record everything I watch now so I can skip the adverts (with the exception of live sport) -but taking out Coke's ad spend alone would be a small blow to the economy.

I actually find I only love the first couple of mouthfuls. After that I'm drinking it cos it's there and I paid for it. If I drink a 500ml bottle I feel rancid about an hour later, an another hour after that I usually crash - still doesn't stop me, though, cos those first two mouthfuls taste so good.
