Have a Coke and a Smile

Happened to notice over at A Small Victory that Steak and BJ day will be observed in a couple of weeks.

Now I know a lot about steaks, but BJs just aren't on my "must-do" list. Maybe I should check with a fe-lyin'--they're always lickin' themselves. Or else it's just a human thing. Whatever. But in the interest keepin' my readers informed--and just in case things get goin' beyond the steaks and BJs…

Hmmmm. "Pepsi--The Choice of a New Generation." If you're interested in creatin' a new generation, maybe. Dr. Pepper--"Be You." Or two yous if it doesn't work. Mountain Dew--"Do the Dew." Mmmmm--no. Not unless you have a Diet Coke handy.

Have your own marketing idea for these guys? Leave a comment.

Oh, and just in case anyone's wonderin'--no, ya' don't drink it.
