New 90-calorie Coca-Cola

Now along with 100-calorie snack packs, Americans can enjoy a 90-calorie can of Coke.

Of course, if they work the same way the 100-calorie snacks do, people will drink 2 or 3 of the 90-calorie Cokes at a time.

Chock full o' Nuts, the heavenly coffee

Love this little ad for Chock full o' Nuts coffee. But then I'm old enough to remember the jingle:

Chock full o' Nuts is that heavenly coffee,
better coffee a millionaire's money can't buy.

If you want to hear the jingle, watch this ancient 30-second TV commercial that's even older than I am.

*************************

This is a watercolor my husband Gary John Reynolds did years ago when the Chock full o' Nuts can looked a little bit different. It hangs in our dining room.

Do you see the obscenity on this drink label?

Coke calls it a 'vibrancy drink' (probably because it sounds more palatable than 'carbonated fruity milk beverage')

Coca-Cola is test marketing a sweetened fizzy milk beverage that comes in four fruit flavors: Citrus Burst, Peach Mango, Very Berry and Tropical Colada.

Ray Crockett, a spokesman for the brand, said "We created what we call a vibrancy beverage here. A sparkling milk-based beverage."

If you'd like to try Vio, you'll have to go to NYC where it's available in very limited distribution."

Believe it or not, 7-Up had a similar idea in the 1950s.

Evian Roller Babies commercial

The joke goes on a little too long, but still very much worth watching.

CLICK HERE to watch the Evian Roller Babies spot.

These should pretty up the landfill considerably
