Assorted
so we've established that "the osbournes" is the most surprisingly funny new show on television. well, if mtv counts as television. but what is up with ozzy becoming a legitimate member of society all the sudden? he and wife sharon were on the New York Stock Exchange floor this morning as trading opened, and then were interviewed tonight on CNBC Business Center about their stock portfolio. okay then. osbournes!
another thing. i love the ups "brown" ad campaign. the best ad has a panther in it. i think it is a panther, but i get extremely confused about panthers, cougers, leopards, cheetahs. i never confuse any of those with lions, though. it's a black cat with very brownish eyes. not a spotted cat. and a very sexy guy talking about "brown" getting him what he wants. mesmerizing! so much for fedex being the cool, modern ones. brown!
the best flavor of snapple is diet pink lemonade. which is also a fairly *normal* flavor. yet no place carries it. but you can go anywhere and get peach kiwi tea, or dragonberry guava bean, or raspberry coffee swirl. what the hell, guys?

I'm sorry, but the best "brown" commercial is the, "Brown doesn't say that." one
I always go for really weird tastes in Snapple. Perhaps that is the key? Everybody apart from you go for the weird tastes - which explains why the regular tastes aren't .. uhmm.. regular?
ah, so i've got bad taste in television *and* bad taste in unnaturally flavored fruit juice.
well, the "brown doesn't say that" commercial is, indeed, quite good. but no sexy guy. that won't make me buy anything. or ship anything.
and as far as snapple goes, i have been slow to get on the bandwagon. i never even HAD a snapple until about 6 months ago. and then i decided to stop drinking caffeinated drinks and drink calorie-free fruity things. and god-bless, they all suck badly. but snapple lemonade isn't bad. it was pure luck that i happened to pick it out of a cooler the first time, and i can't remember where i was that time. my life has been a quest to find that place again since...because right now i have to drive to grocery stores far away and buy the entire stock of four at a time each week. bah!
I'm with Tinka on this one. If I drink Snapple, I want something new, something that I hadn't thought of mixing together.
Give me the banana cream gumboot mango raspberry mega deluxe smoothie over something that I could make myself. I drink Snapple for luxury and for the sheer adventurousness of it.
