Possibly just as sinister, if not more..

I remember hearing something about the proceedings from a Coca Cola
shareholders presentation from 30-40 years ago. One of the items was a picture
of a national monument with a water fountain nearby. This was highlighted as

find out more about this, but if anyone else knows about it then I'd be
interested in hearing more about it!
