Everybody on the bandwagon

Unfortunately it happens in every city.

Et tu Mexican Coke

What a disappointment. Today I discovered the Mexican Coke listed a new ingredient “corn syrup and/or sugar.” (You can barely make it out in the picture.) What’s up with that? Coke bottled in Mexico was the last refuge for Coca-Cola sans corn syrup. Some of you reading this may be thinking, […]

Good Eats

No, I’m not talking about the Food Network show. Imagine my delight to discover the Donald on my honey. I’d love to meet the genius behind this cross-promotion. There is no doubt that harnessing the powers of the Donald will do wonders for your brand. If it doesn’t, might I suggest […]
