It's been a long time coming, but it's finally back...and new entry on the least read blog in cyberspace. I'm fine with that though, because if it got too popular, people would hold me to a level that I am sure I can't attain :)...but I digress...
Just a warning to my 3 loyal readers, I don't really have a topic for this entry. I am however motivated to write useless thing sand thus here we are...
Topic 1: The 10 worst drink ideas
I didn't compile this list, but I thank Time magazine for writing it. Have a look at the link before you read on, I would hate to spoil it for you....
Thoughts:
- Carbonated Milk is one of the worst ideas I have ever heard, I hope to god that never makes it to Canada. If it does, Toronto is a likely test market and I don't want to have to shake someone because I see them drinking this.
-Coors Sparkling water seemed like an ok idea if you think about Coors commercials and how they claim everything is made with clear cold spring water, but really...stick to your core competency. Business 101.
-New COKE - Enough said...just look it up, it's covered extensively in many business classes, but here is the coles notes version...basically a massively successful company took a tried and true 100 year old recipe and did a handful of taste tests, then decided to throw away said successful recipe and sell a new one...Now you know why it says Coca Cola Classic on the cans...
-Orbitz...Cocaine...Thanksgiving Dinner Soda...Tru Blood...I don't even need to elaborate, those are retarded for sure.
-Ok Soda apparently was released in 1993 with a crazy ad campaign and did poorly in taste tests, it didn't last long and I can honestly say I have never heard of it. Coke used the same marketing team that brought them NEW Coke, wow it's amazing that big companies can be so dumb...See an OK ADD HERE...I can't believe it didn't catch on
Missed the cut: - Crystal Pepsi comes to mind...can you think of others? I'm sure there are many. Maybe Pepsi Max as well...
Topic 2: The Porn world expands technology...heard of the internet?
I have had this discussion with people many times, the porn industry makes the technology choice for all of us. The internet, web design, vhs, blueray, computers and many other things wouldn't be what they are without the filth mongers taking them there.
If they had picked beta max to release their films on, I would have never owned a VCR, and the same more recently goes for HD DVD vs Blueray...so just some food for though.
One other thing to consider is how large they are in the internet space...In California the porn industry buys 10x the amount of internet bandwidth from providers than does GOOGLE. I thought Google ruled the world, but apparently they aren't even close...
Random though:
...if you want to be commercially successful, don't hang out with me...
