On the 15th, I officially became a vegetarian for two weeks. If you would like to keep track of what I have been eating, you can click the vegetarian link at the top of my blog. Any major updates, weight loss, loss of feeling, tree hugging, etc. will deserve its own blog post.
So stay tuned for the fun and adventure of vegetarianism.
It’s On!
When i wrote the title I remembered the McDonald’s moon guy. He was like a Ray Charles mixed with a moon head. Youtube saves the day.
Anyway today in Ad Age I read 2 interesting article.
The first dealt with Burger King adding Apple Fries to the kids menu.
I hate that for some reason they add this to the kids menu but not the adults. At least Wendy’s has side options that include healthy alternatives. I wouldn’t mind having an option other than fries. It’s probably bad enough I consume the burgers and Chicken sangwiches, perhaps a healthy alternative to the fries wouldn’t hurt. Kids love to imitate their parents, so if the parents are eating delicious hot fries, the children will soon follow. Congratulations at accomplishing nothing BK Lounge.
The Second was Jones Soda hires first advertising agency.
I have been drinking Jones Sodas since 1996. My first year in college, the local drug store also named Jones, carried them. I was intrigued by the label then captured by the taste. After Jones Drug Store closed, I hadn’t seen Jones Soda until 2005 when I went to Kansas. I introduced my brother to them and he was hooked. They never advertised and didn’t need to, the grassroots campaign had gotten them that far.
Now I hear they have hired an Ad Agency which is great news. I hope they can grow and compete with Pepsi and Coke. They are definitely a far superior brand when it comes to flavored sodas and their lowbrow artsy image. So GO JONES!
It has been a year since I have drank a soda. Not including the very minute amount of Jones Holiday Packs as if you could drink more than a teaspoon (Brussel Sprouts soda anyone?)
Today as a celebration, I plan on getting a Root Beer Float. Its been the only thing I have missed during the last year.
Also In celebration I offer a PDF of a speech I gave on the how to stop drinking soda including the supplemental guide.

Mind you it could probably use a little polishing, but you will get the gist of it

I have anger toward Burger King, they advertise their whopper combo with the perception the Whopper contains a Spiderman game piece. Alas it does not, so I had to eat a whopper instead of a delicious chicken sangwich. I guess it backfires because the sangwich combo cost more than a whopper. So you just lost about a $1.50 Burger King.
Companies should be a little more careful with their advertising. It’s important to market yourself but make sure you haven’t lost the main reason to advertise.
