"Could I have a chicken salad with pinto beans to go please?"
*No movement*
"A chicken salad with pinto beans, to go, please"
*reaches for bowl without lid*
"To go, please"
"Do you want a burrito or bowl?"
"A salad"
*No movement*
"A salad is in the bowl, but with lettuce, pinto beans and chicken"
*No movement*
"The lettuce" *I point at the lettuce*

From there things went OK...but jesus fucking christ you offer four products. I wasn't asking for you to reinvent the wheel.

Didn't I? wrote:As lethal brought up a few pages back, the sip test effect is in play with Pepsi/Coke taste tests. But that's about preference, which has nothing to do with being able to tell the two apart.

Coke Zero is one of the bigger marketing success stories in recent years. The name alone was a complete smackdown of Pepsi One and their first few campaigns were great.

That's the reason Dr. Pepper 10 targets guys, because of Coke Zero's success with the target.

As far as Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi go, they've become an afterthought. I used to work on Diet Pepsi in like 2007. In 2008, Pepsi decided to stop putting any advertising dollars behind it and chose to focus only on Pepsi and Pepsi Max.

I prefer traditional diet over the max's and zeros of the world. It's not a strong preference, I'll drink any type of diet cola.

Yeah, I should have said, they've become an afterthought in terms of marketing. Everyone knows there's a diet version of Coke and Pepsi. So when you advertise the regular version you're effectively advertising the diet version.

I actually think all these new variations (Zero, One, Max, Lime) are just created as an excuse to freshen up the brand and talk about something different. That and the FDA approves a new chemical.

I agree. As a (probably) broke college student, this is not really a good idea. You will most likely wind up losing all your money pretty quickly. To each their own, but day trading or things like that are pretty much akin to gambling except the house has better odds since they charge you for every transaction, not to mention tax on your gains.

When I was a kid, if you wanted Crest Toothpaste, you could choose either original or mint. And there were only like 4 brands of toothpaste out there as well--Crest, Colgate, Gleem (it had little sprinkles in it) and Close-Up. Now, there are probably 2 dozen varieties of Crest. Does having so many different varieties really sell more toothpaste? Is it sort of like an arms race, where if Colgate has a tartar control whitening toothpaste than Crest needs one too to preserve its market share? There really aren't more brands. Aquafresh I suppose, Arm and Hammer. Hippies I guess use Toms. But I think Gleem and Close Up have disappeared.

I forget what I use. I'm not very particular about my toothpaste brands

i use some high end stuff simply because it comes in a squeeze bottle instead of a tube. i don't even know if the stuff is ada approved.

Just please everyone assure me you don't fall for the teevee depiction of the appropriate toothpaste helping, a double-decker slathering as wide as your index finger.

A dab not a lot bigger than this "O" should do it. Tube should last you pretty much forever.
