Coca Cola Super Chilled Confession

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

My name is Beth, and I am a Coke whore. And now that I know about Coca Cola's latest soft drink innovation, I may need to go ahead and submit my application for an Intervention.  Launching early next year in the UK, Coca Cola fans will be able to enjoy a Super Chilled Sprite. The drink bottle will contain technology that will cool the drink by creating ice from the Sprite when the top is twisted off. 

One word of warning, dropping a Mentos into a Super Chilled drink might put an eye out.


 

Jack Links Beef Jerky has a wonderful series of commercials out right now called Messin' With Sasquatch. My personal favorite is the Pickup Truck spot. But go check out the Official Messin With Sasquatch site to see them all! 

Sasquatch even has a MySpace page, which he updates regularly, unlike everyone else!. His life is absolutely riveting, so of course I added him to my friends list.  I love being able to get all Web 2.0 with Big Foot!

I think that my favorite thing about puppets is that they can say what humans want to say, but can't or won't due to social mores. Puppetji is a guru who tells is like it is. He even has a MySpace Page, a blog, and a YouTube Channel. He is a truly enlightened and extremely well connected Web 2.0 phenomenon.  I recommend watching his Hookah Talks for immediate chakra cleansing.

On This Day in History!

On September 23, 1962 the first episode of The Jetsons aired.


Thanks to priceytv for posting the Jetson's intro on YouTube!

  


Thanks to daftmahatma for posting this clip from the early Jetsons.
 
I was thrilled to discover that you can buy individual Jetsons episodes  for $1.99 from Amazon using their  Amazon Unbox service. I downloaded a few episodes to my TiVo this weekend so that I could introduce this Hannah Barbara classic to my 3 year old, Beckett.  He watched enthusiastically, and wanted to play space family when it was over. 
 
While we are definitely not living the space age life of the Jetson famliy, we did pay homage to them by naming our iRobot Scooba, Rosie. Oh, how I love you, Rosie! 

Oh! Beware before you use Amazon's Unbox service. Boing Boing doesn't like it one bit!  I personally decided to go for it since it integrates effortlessly with TiVo, and my TiVo's Kid Zone. I have been waiting for years for TiVo to make a deal with a distributor so that we could use our TiVo service to watch rented content.  I was so excited, I took the plunge, and so far I've been happy with the choice.
