Celebrity Saturday: Taylor Swift for Diet Coke

Taylor Swift is a "brand ambassador" for Diet Coke. That's like a celebrity endorsement but with more feeling. And more money for the celebrity.

Click here to see Taylor Swift in her latest TV spot for Diet Coke.

The spot was created by Droga5. Taylor Swift wrote the song in the spot.

Happy 60th Birthday, Cockta!

Cockta is a brand of soda from my homeland, Slovenia. For years, it was the only soda available in Slovenia — the Commies didn't make Coca-Cola readily available until the late 1960s.

According to Wikipedia, Cockta's "main ingredient comes from the dog rose hip. The other ingredients come from 11 different herbs, lemon and orange."

I think it tastes great, but I grew up drinking it. My brothers, who did not, hate it.

But then, my South-Side Chicagoan husband and our 18-year-old New Englander nephew love it, too.

Who are you going to believe?

Coincidentally, Cockta's tag line, translated, is: You never forget your first one.

If you're in the Boston area and want to try some, you can buy Cockta at Elma's Market, Ferry Street, in Everett. That's where I go for my stateside fix.

The soda machine on the 9th floor at Mullen sucks

One of my colleagues lost his money to the soda machine.

Look how the bottle hangs there and mocks anyone else considering buying a Coke.
