Clarification about the Coke can

I said in my previous post that the Coke cans at Colombo airport had mostly Sri Lankan script on them. Well, I was wrong. Most of it was actually Arabic, with only some Sri Lankan - I realised my mistake when I got a bottle of water which stated that it was made in the United Arab Emirates, and I compared the script. I had thought the script was a little too up-and-down and not "round" enough when I first saw the Coke can, but just leapt to the conclusion that because I was in Sri Lanka it must have been Sri Lankan.

Sometimes I wish I knew more about languages, but you can't know everything I suppose.
