I have (perhaps false) memory of seeing it in a truck stop, so maybe I had a near encounter on a road trip in the US.

Re: Haircuts in the time of Plague
Mudslides here, you all get the point though. This was a time when a punk alt nonconformist was looking for anything to be wryly ironic. The well oiled culture vulture crack marketing gurus from Coke zeroed in on this perfectly with OK soda. The real problem was that they sold an idea rather than a sellable soft drink. My clique loved everything about OK soda except for actually buying and drinking it. All this said, I love everything about the OK soda marketing experiment. I feel stupidly and rarely proud of GenX on this one.Wolter wrote: ↑26 Aug 2020, 4:10pmWe called them “suicides”Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑26 Aug 2020, 3:28pmI think we called doing that at 7-11 making swamp juice.BostonBeaneater wrote: ↑26 Aug 2020, 3:11pmMix all of the sodas from the fountain together.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑26 Aug 2020, 2:59pmI have (perhaps false) memory of seeing it in a truck stop, so maybe I had a near encounter on a road trip in the US.
