Pepsi not coke?

Personally, I absolutely despise Pepsi and Coke. In this day and age, when everybody is harping on about organic food and self-sufficiency, there is no excuse for two archaic corporations (of many) to still shove as many chemicals, colourings and preservatives into their drinks as Pepsi and Coke do. Also, have you ever wondered where the water in Pepsi comes from? Bottled at the source, apparently... in Chelmsford. Mmmmmm...

Another thing worth mentioning - I went to my girlfriend's house once and I spilled nearly a whole bottle of Diet Pepsi on the bricks in her porch. It went everywhere. A week later, I was apologising to her dad about it and he told me not to apologise because the Pepsi cleaned the bricks better than anything he's ever used, and since then, he's had a bottle of Pepsi by the door in the porch to clean the bricks with. He said that they should sell it in B&Q for this very purpose.

I'd only ever recommend two cola drinks - Morrison's own brand and M&S own brand. Morrison's tastes like that curiosity cola you get in health food shops (like a mediciny taste) - really nice. M&S tastes almost exactly the same but it's a bit more expensive.

You heard it here first - this week.... I will be mostly drinking, Morrison's and M&S own brand colas. Neither of them will sponsor Reading/Leeds though. :P

Let's put it this way...

There's a reason why you don't put 'Chelmsford' on the side of a mineral water bottle. I don't disagree with your point - I'm sure the chemicals used to sterilise and purify the water disguise its blandness and make it as lovely as it is - but I just think, from a marketing perspective, it's much better to put "Made in GB" on the side of a bottle than it is to say "water bottled at the source in Chelmsford".

It is, after all, the place Charles Dickens called "the dullest and most stupid spot on the face of the Earth."

    • I see, well even if they aren't on sale it's still not a disaster sales wise, it's not like they are struggling to sell a half capacity areana
    • Blue dot wouldn’t be a thing if Ticketmasters dynamic pricing went down as well as up, it proves that the dynamic pricing was just a scam to make more money rather than something that moved with the market supply/demand. 
    • I agree that we’ll never really know up until the concert happens (and even then we still may not know) but I think promoters are having to come up with new tactics to combat ‘blue dot fever’ (already hating that phrase!) and trying to imply that concerts are selling better than they actually are / available tickets are in short supply is definitely one of them.    To add though, it is quite common at the O2 Arena for the rear blocks to not go on sale (and then remain closed for the concert and covered over to hide the empty seats). And equally common for standing to sell out first, then side/lower tier seating next and rear/upper tier seating last.    Jungle’s two concerts at the O2 are a good comparison for this - for their 1st (announced) date, all blocks are on sale and seats in all sections remain unsold, whereas for their 2nd date, the rear blocks are greyed out (more so than for Muse) and equally lots of seats remain unsold in the blue blocks. Standing for both concerts are showing as sold out.
    • MGK can and should headline. I was at one of his shows earlier in the year as a very casual fan, and there were a lot of alt people there. The show was actually class and he completely won me over. Anyone who opposes him headlining is just a gatekeeper imo, we need to move with the times.
