Cola or Cocaine?

This photo was taken in a super market in New York. The idea of trust is explored through this image.

According to Wiki "Coca-Cola did once contain an estimated nine milligrams of cocaine per glass, but in 1903 it was removed."

By replacing 'Coca-Cola' with 'Cocaine' you double take. It makes you consider what is really in Coke and in a wider sense what is really in the food you buy at the super markets: the hidden chemicals and preservatives. In a sense we are trusting the multi billion dollar companies with our health. This goes on to explore the idea of trusting those in power and how we have little control over our country and in some cases our immediate reality.
