Yep. Which brings me to another thing I've wondered for a long time: why are there commercials for products that have been around for a long time? When I see a commercial for Coca-Cola I don't say to myself, "Wow, I could really go for a bottle of that bubbly, brown liquid on TV. I wonder what it takes like?" No, I pick one up every few days when I'm not in the mood for tea, lemonaid etc. from the vending machine.
