Ginger ale, cream soda, or root beer.

 

The more advertising for a particular brand of beverage I see, the less inclined I am to drink it. And I try to stay away from caffiene for health reasons.

 

And as for "Crystal Pepsi"... way too many bad associations.

That was when Van Halen sold out, and I will never forgive them for it. Let Britney and her super-boobs pitch fizzy syrup drinks... I had no respect for her anyway.

I'm a musician, so I tend to be more sensitive to these types of things. Using a song or an artist that has a stong personal connection for me to pitch a product or a company that I don't like or believe in tends to produce a somewhat negative reaction when hearing that same song or artist in a different situation. And a highly negative reacion to that product.

I understand the money that gets thrown around in these types of situations, and faced with that decision myself I just might take the money.

 

I don't have any kind of official personal boycott against products that use big-budget promotions, but I do tend to support the smaller companies that don't advertise in that way. It's mostly an unconscious process. Faced with a choice, I will almost always go with smaller or local companies.

 

But then, I really don't drink that much soda anymore anyway. Fruit juice is better for you. And if I REALLY need a caffeine fix, I drink tea.

well, they called me up one saturday and told me they needed to have someone shot. So i was all like "ok, sure, whatever" and i got in the car and drove to the old lady's house, but right when I got out, i realized i had left the bullets in the back seat. But it turns out i had left my keys in the car. So here i am in front of this old lady's house with a gun that has no bullets, and i didn't wanna call anyone because I didn't want to be caught with shotgun shells in my back seat. So i said "to hell with this" and just went in and cracked the old lady over the back of her skull with the butt of my gun. The goddamn ***** bit me in the leg! So naturally i got the hell out of there. And i had bust my car window to get away before she called the cops!

 

Life is so cruel. :(
