    i A.M. so confused

     



    i went to the brickyard 400 last week and stopped at the store on the way into the track. i knew it was gonna be hot so i went for the gatorade section. i grabbed a 6 pack of something called A.M. gatorade not knowing what it was, upon opening my first bottle i am reading that the A.M. blend is to replentish all the fluids i lost in my sleep. are you kidding me, it tasted the same, but now i am thinking i am screwed because it is now afternoon. i am expecting to shrivel up and turn to dust because i did not grab the P.M. gatorade. and now the whole echo system is messed and the planets are not aligned anymore, all because i grabbed the wrong gatorade. do you honestly think it is brewed in its own vat, or just poured from the same kettle and labled differently? marketing stratagies has stepped into a whole new level of stupidity. thats just one opinion of one pysycotic fool in a supermarket looking for a simple afternoon drink, and now that is made difficult to do now.


    Live everyday like it were your last, someday it will be.

    You just need to adopt the beer drinkers philosophy.

    No matter what time the local clock may say, to the committed beer drinker the adage, "It's 5 p.m. somewhere!" prevails.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    There you go Bob.

    And Mooneyes, that's just the power of advertising and marketing. Doesn't mean a thing.

    What do you mean "in its own vat"?????

    It all comes from the same biofiltered septic tank.

    What about the cokes? i mean "POP". Down here you have a choice 12oz can .59cents, 12 oz bottle .69 cents, 16 oz bottle for .99 cents or a 32oz bottle for 1.19.
    Come on guys give us one average size and one price...............if i want a 32oz drink I will buy 2 of the "average size" smaller ones.

    What about the beer drinker's philosophy,

    "My favorite brand is SEB!"......."Sombody else's beer". Whatever they are buying tastes great! :-)~

    This is called marketing ploys - and it probably costs more as well.

    I do agree with Uncle Bob and have been preaching the philosophy for years - that somewhere in the world it has to be 5:00PM, or the sun is over the yardarm. Now that I have become a 1 beer/day drinker, I do try to wait for 5:00PM where ever I am - though occasionally do have a relapse - especially if a Guinness is waved at me.
