That reads better. Very much pronounced more like your spelling.

I was trying to figure out how to spell it phonically but wasn't thinking it out. What I am use to hearing is kind of a short “c" sound that serves as a kind of “bridge” between the “co” and the “ola”. Almost like "Co'c'ola" - but I'm not sure that would be correct way to write it out phonically either.

Frankly, unless it was in literature where the author was trying to invoke the local dialect, I am not sure I have ever seen “coca-cola” spelled any other way then the correct (full) way.

Now I'm parched for a cherry co’cola.
