Jenna's House of Idiosyncrasies Version 10.0 [Focus.]

What Happens When I'm Alone

August 8, 2002 - 12:26pm

So I'm sitting here waiting for HarryF of SitePoint Forums to give me some more feedback on my lastest crazy PHP endeavor, and I pick up a Sharpie and start randomly doodling. I love Sharpies, because they will write on anything. So I'm drawing stars all over my PayPal IPN manual, and of course, the next logical course of action is to pick up my empty can of Dr. Pepper Red Fusion and start drawing all over it. I'm drawing stripes across the barcode when I see “VISIT DRPEPPER.COM” on the back, so I go there. Did you know there was actually a whole press release for Red Fusion?

My favorite part: “‘Consumers are telling us they want new, unique, refreshing and smooth-to-the-palate carbonated soft drink products in a quest to satisfy their thirst,’ stated Jack Kilduff, Dr Pepper president and chief operating officer.[. . .] ‘A unique, original, mysterious, intriguing, energetic, delicious and smooth new soft drink brand like Dr Pepper's Red Fusion will appeal to bottlers, retailers and consumers, and it will tell the world that we continue to believe that there are ample opportunities to grow volume in the carbonated soft drink category,’ stated Kilduff.”

Who talks like that? Geez.

Jenna, you should send that picture of the doodles on the can to that Dr.Pepper website. It looks like it could be a really cool advertisement.
