Coke Celebrates Diet Coke/Mentos Geyser Eight Months late

While Joe Jaffe is all excited about having been present yesterday during Coke’s Experiment #214 at which the famed EepyBird did their Diet Coke/Mentos thing, we’re gleefully snickering at the mammoth company’s 180 on the whole thing from its “craziness with Mentos doesn’t fit our brand personality” stance to its eight-months-too-late embrace of the stunt. We’d be as excited as Joe too if we were there witnessing the event but we can’t forget that Coke is doing this because their ass was taunted and dragged into it. I’d be curious if the word Mentos was even allowed to be mentioned at the event. Joe makes no mention of it in his review of the event.

Psychology says the loneliest part of being an aging parent isn’t being alone – it’s realizing your children love you but don’t actually enjoy spending time with you, and understanding that gap is something you created decades ago

Psychology says the freedom that childless couples experience in midlife carries a hidden cost. Without the natural structure that children impose on time, weekends, holidays, and decades, they must generate their own sense of purpose continuously, and that ongoing act of self-creation is both the privilege and the exhaustion nobody warns them about.
