I wondered what was up with that. I'm glad they switched it back.

Now I miss Crystal Pepsi.

Ya, I said it. I miss Crystal Pepsi.

I miss Light Magic

Except for the lack of cohesive story, the inane repetitive dancing, frequently failing floats, the stupid movies, and the lack of an actual "parade" that was just a huge show that only played in two locations.

But otherwise I miss it.

Ah yes...Light Magic. I was at the AP ~~Dress Rehearsal~~ Preview Party. I remember the two seconds of stunned silence between the end of the performance and the start of the booing.

Gemini Cricket · 06-10-2010, 06:28 PM

Wow! There was actual booing? Yikes.

What I liked is that even after the **** hit the fan and they brought back original Coke (now with HFCS) New Coke still generally won in blind taste tests.

So the moral of the story is still that people don't know what they actually want and our collective sentimentality was misguided.

Isn't that ALWAYS the moral of the story?

No, sometimes the moral of the story is "You should have had sex with him/her while you had the chance, there's no guarantee it'll come up again."

And once in a blue moon it is "And that's why you taste the gravy before serving it."

Ok, you got me with the gravy one.

Ok, I checked Snopes.

For some reason I can't select text at Snopes, but what it says is that 6 months prior to the launch of New Coke, they had already slipped all the cane sugar out of Coca-Cola. Suspicious that it was just before, though.
