Pull the other one, Coca-Cola
Coca-Cola warned the education secretary it might withdraw its vending machines network from schools over her ban on "junk food", letters show.

Coca-Cola's letter argued that many soft drinks provided 'significant nutritional and functional benefits'.
As an example, one 'no added sugar' product - which contains two artificial sweeteners - was fortified with vitamins and minerals.
The fruit and water mixture, it said, provided one of the recommended 'five a day' servings of fruit and vegetables.
