Coke Will Make Special Sodas For The New Nets Arena
Gothamist

Sure they will.
Coke will reportedly be treating fans with "special Brooklyn-themed flavored beverages" along with the company's trademark sodas.
But for now the company is keeping mum as to what those special drinks will be, so we can only speculate. In honor of the Atlantic Yards' troubled history, perhaps will there be a Gatorade flavor called NIMBYade? When Life Gives You NIMBYs, make NIMBYade! Or maybe a Coca-Cola Net Loss drink to replace Diet Coke? It burns calories, and your hopes of a successful NBA franchise, just drinking it! Meh. Somehow we suspect the final products will be more like In A New York Minute Maid. How would you flavor a Brooklyn-themed beverage?
NoLandGrab: Even Manhattan Special would be more Brooklyn-y than Coca Cola.
