Food Joke

Expectant parents, travelling to new home in california, start to argue about new baby's name. Finally after arguing all day they decide to name the new baby after the first billboard sign they see after the birth. Travelling through the dessert the next day she gives birth. They both agree now for sure the first sign will be the little boy's name. Alas a sign in the horizon, it is a coca-cola sign. As agreed the baby is named coca-cola. Coca-cola grows up and after 6 years he is enrolled in school. Well coca-cola gets a teacher that can guess names really good, she starts off mary, jane, bill, bob, she now comes to coca-cola hmmm, i'll have to come back to you she says. After naming all the children she comes back to coca-cola, hmmm i'm going to need a hint from you, she says. Coca-cola proudly says teacher it is something you probably have every day. Teacher really really excited now yells out DICKY.
