Coke ~ Pepsi
I wonder if there's something going in the brown cola business? Laura muses here about a place she likes to eat that, to her delight, is no longer selling Pepsi, only Coke. Meanwhile, a local eatery we like to go to only sells Pepsi, a fact that sometimes influences our decision about where to eat because we're dyed-in-the-wool Diet Coke drinkers. Which two items I might simply have attributed to the vagaries of the marketplace except that for last three or four weeks my (large) office cafeteria has had a hard time keeping Diet Coke stocked, completely running out several times. It's hard to resist thinking something's going on.

Doesn't Diet Coke have that horrible Aspartame in it? And do you really drink Coke with your meal? That sounds awful! I think I've had one Coke in the last fifteen years one very hot day working in the sun and I needed a cold drink. I heard a doctor on the radio many years ago listing things he thought you shouldn't eat or drink, his #1 food to avoid was the hotdog. Full of chemicals and preservatives and God only knows what else goes into them, and he recommended Coke for external use only!

Now I feel like I'm one of those highbrow snobs who sneer at American Idol, like Warren Kinsella in The National Post, who wrote:

"American Idol, whose season finale aired last night, is the nadir of human cultural history, pretty much. But that didn’t stop approximately 40 million people from tuning in, twice weekly, for the past five years. (Including, we sadly confess, members of this writer’s immediate family.) Nothing stops American Idol. It is a juggernaut of awfulness."
