Another conspiracy theory nibbles the detritus

Those of you at last week's game heard that Coke switched to corn syrup during the Great Formula Switch.

Not true, says Uncle Cecil.


The Straight Dope's version.

Well call me a whispering theorist; Snopes seems to. Now all I have to do is try to score some Coke II to wash down the crow. mmmm. Rare cola.


From the Recipies page however, someone out there might enjoy this serving of crow:
The annoying robot family ads were not contemporaneous with the 1980s fame of the venerable Mr. Headroom. Their annoying reign was started sometime in the 1990s.

In other news, served with only a small plate of crow for dessert, I misattributed a mascot. The Putterman family shilled for Duracell, not Energizer..

Finally, a bit on Max Headroom's computer imaging. No crow to be served:

And god help us if we start actually trying to verify all the "truths" spoken, sputtered or shouted during poker.

Being a confirmed Pepsi preferrer I didn't get too excited about the return of Coke Classic. I was dismayed to read here that America, despite having a clear prerence for the other product, martialled an overwhelming response to buoy Coke back to market dominance. I hope they were happy, driving their Chrysler bailout K cars, drinking Coke. Where were they for dial telephones, vinyl records, and the ABA?
In following one of Jon's links I saw this site and am downloading RealPlayer right now to see Conspiracy Rock again.
