I swear, I'm not a viral marketer...

So the other day, grenacia and I were talking about the new Coke Rewards program after reading about it on the side of a bottle of cold, refreshing Coca-Cola Classic.TM You can earn cool prizes and enter hot sweepstakes, simply by redeeming the codes from bottle caps or cases of many of your favorite Coca-ColaTM brand beverages, including Mr. PibbR, FantaR ( Read more... )

There are days I miss drinking pop.

EEEEK! They got to you! Please stop blogging like an advertisement, its scary. Or at least blog like a British advertisment, they're funnier.

I basically never drink Coca-Cola™® products, though they've taken over so many other beverage categories its hard to be sure sometimes. So I'm probably gonna stay out of this one.

Sorry. The only carbonated caffeinated beverage I ingest on a semi-regular basis is Diet Dr. Pepper. And Mr. Pibb just isn't the same.

On an unrelated note, I am quite frankly stunned that you have not participated in this yet.

I just found out about it, and was contemplating my response while looking for the combination to the office gun safe. As soon as I secure the premisis, I'll post a warning to others.

Fortunately, I called in sick to work today with a headache so bad that the ringing of the phone damn near made my brain explode. I think I should be safe here in my apartment. And if they manage to find me, I intend to use Catherine's projectile shedding as a distraction while I move to safer ground.

Good plan. That cat sheds enough that you should be able to keep them busy for a long, long time.

Do you think your headache is going to last 8 or 9 more days? ;)

A couple weeks ago I was planning to stop drinking pop. Then I discovered that Coke has brought back Vanilla Crack Coke, and it's better than before. Damn them.

I've been going that Coke Rewards thing since last summer and have accumulated only 400 points or so.

redherring June 13 2007, 20:12:24 UTC

Hmmm... I didn't know that they'd brought back Vanilla Coke. I may have to diverge from my Diet Dr. Pepper-only beverage strategy.

Yes, it must have happened within the last week or two.

My mom collects all the coke points from her co-workers and herself. She collected enough points to buy several coke ornaments at christmas and now she just got three (3) $25 Best Buy gift certificates. I think she has gotten a few other things, too.

I think I have a whopping 47 points.

Yeah, I don't know if I need to go dumpster diving or what, but there's a Toshiba plasma TV at Best Buy that I have my eye on... It should only cost about 5,000,000 coke points. :)
