> I can't explain Coke v. Pepsi, but this certainly makes sense that VHS wiped out Betamax.VHS was the popular system even though Beta was superior in recording quality.
yeah. that is a good example. of just how confusing and problematic the analogy is... marketing... or something.
> I like my Diet Coke or Pepsi with rum in it.
:-)
i used to be a big coke drinker. then i transitioned to become a big diet coke drinker. the transition period was awful - neither one tasted right.
i learned to drink water in australia. not by choice. the doctor told me i didn't have emphysema so much as having dry airways and needing to drink actual water. and i wasn't dying of a rare skin disease so much as needing to moisturise twice daily. i mean i knew you were *supposed* to do such things but i never seemed to suffer from not doing them in nz... dryer climate in aussie, though, and i learned... eventually.
rum and coke used to be a favorite of mine. have you tried red bull and vodka? all the rage now... or at least it was a couple years ago when i was last in the bars... it is an interesting stimulant / relaxant combo... i'll give it that...
