    Water written backwards spells retaw. If you adjust it a little it says retard. Are you gonna take being called a retard by water? Ban water today and stop the insults!

        Her father, Doug, was equally shocked at the message, considering his younger daughter Fiona has cerebral palsy and autism.

        That’s horrible, but what are the chances of that happening? I’m not saying I don’t believe the story, but those are just wild odds!

          I was late for a flight once (in Canada) and they put a sticker on my luggage that said Retard. Just means late in French. You better believe I kept that sticker.

      • Blake says Coke contacted her family Wednesday to explain the bottle cap is part of a contest being held by Vitamin Water where they randomly print one English word and one French word on their caps.

            I mean I get that, but I don’t think US bottles have random English words on them, do they?

            Ignoring the modern English meaning of “retard” (which was the politically correct word for ages), the cap would still have said “you slow”
