However, witnesses to the interview stated that Callas only said "champagne with cognac", and it was a bystander who quipped, "No, with Coca-Cola", but the Time reporter attributed the latter comment to Callas.
Priami svedkovia rozhovoru namietajú, že Callasová len povedala: "šampanské s koňakom", a bol to iba divák, ktorý zavtipkoval "Nie, s Coca-colou", ale reportér z Time pripísal ten komentár Callasovej.
