Church uses coke for baptisms

In the freezing north life still goes on, countries like Norway are experiencing a severe cold spell at the moment and yet life still goes for the people as they go about their daily lives and celebrate all of the normal family events such as a baptism.

Unfortunately, some things do have to suffer, like the holy water this was is currently unavailable due to the water freezing in the pipes, but how can you have a baptism without a dash of water.

The priest hunted around for something suitable but could only come up a bottle of lemon flavoured coke, it had even gone flat but anything is better than nothing and so the baptism was able to go ahead even though there was a little bit of a lemony smell in the air.
