I have mixed feelings about the 4th season of Arrested Development.  I really do like it, and there isn't anything about it I can solidly complain about (other than perhaps that it seems Portia has unfortunately either gotten plastic surgery or isn't eating enough... and I don't mean the last one in a mean spirited way), but it's not engaging me quite as much as the first 3 seasons did.  Although I hear season 5 is still a possibility and I'm still looking forward to it.

Why would what looks like a sex spam tweet have the #originaltrilogy hashtag?

Not safe for work!

 WHAT?! Why on earth would they hashtag original trilogy???? Hmmm...

It must have been trending the second they were composing that tweet. I don't see any other logical explanations.

I went to see BTTF at the cinema tonight. But what's this I hear about the US getting the entire trilogy?? Here they only showed 1&2!

They kept it around until 2002, (rebranded as Coke II) so maybe there's still some sitting around on a dusty supermarket shelf?

I found Pop Tarts two years past their expiration date once, so anything is possible. ;)

I wonder if anyone still has a stash of original coke in their attic? People were hoarding it for a while.

I wish I'd been around when New Coke was introduced. I'm curious to know what it tasted like.

 Coke in the US was never the same after that "New" Coke campaign.  They never reverted back to the old formula. "Coke Classic" was a lie. The version before "New Coke"  had real sugar, the re-introduced "Classic" version had/has corn syrup.  I know for a fact that in Mexico they still use the true "Classic" formula with real sugar.

Yeah, I noticed bottled in Mexico soft drinks are popular around here.

Did anyone grab the BTTF II Pepsi Perfect bottles?

 If I am ever in Mexico, I'll make sure I try some of the real stuff.

You can easily find it in states near the border. :)

 It tasted somewhat sharper than the original...perhaps slightly more acidic?

 I live in Illinois and you can get it quite easily here too.  I live in a small town and I can think of three places just here that sell it.

I've read that Jewish communities have access to Coke made with real sugar. The regular stuff apparently isn't kosher for some reason.

I got some sugar'd Coke in Flagstaff a few years ago.  It's a smoother, less biting sort of taste, although I'd need to try it again to give a clearer description.  I wouldn't call it a massive difference, though.

Even though Coke won't do it for whatever reason, Pepsi has been selling fairly large quantities of their product with real sugar recently.  There's a definite difference there: a distinct increase in perceived sweetness compared to the syrup'd version.  Sometimes I like that, but other times I don't.

 For the same reason that people feel the desire to post comments questioning people's desire to post reaction videos on the Internet... and for the same reason that people post comments questioning why people feel the desire to post comments questioning people's desire to post reaction videos on the Internet... and so on.

It's so strange not even remotely being the youngest member of this forum anymore.  Come 2017 I'll have been here 10 years!  Good Grief.
