Kind of sacrilegious though.  Unless it didn&#8217;t refer to Christmas, but a new holiday centered around Pepsi.  I see a very ambitious campaign coming out of this idea.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve been having all kinds of good PR ideas lately.  For example, as we were walking through the Grand Rapids airport on Monday, I thought of a new tourism campaign for Grand Rapids: &#8220;It&#8217;s Time for Grand Rapids.&#8221;  The campaign would involve lots of clocks all over the city, decorated to represent various local things of interest.  (&#8220;Things&#8221; of interest, now you understand why I don&#8217;t work in tourism).  It would be like those <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ci.chi.il.us\/Tourism\/CowsOnParade\/\">cows in Chicago<\/a> and Kansas City, or the famous <a href=\"http:\/\/steveadamsomaha.tripod.com\/LinBicycles\/Home.html\">Bicycles of Lincoln, Nebraska.<\/a><br \/>\nAnyway, all of these valuable ruminations were sparked by my purchase of a Holiday Spice Pepsi today.  It was like eating a cinnamon candy and drinking a Pepsi at the same time, something I never would have thought of doing, but I guess the Pepsi people did.  It was okay, but I&#8217;m ready to take an offical stand against this proliferation of soda flavors.  Sure, cherry and vanilla colas are tasty, but Pitch Black Mountain Dew?  Just not a good idea at all.  They should have come to me: so you want a successor to Mountain Dew?  How about Prairie Thunderstorm?  or Steppic Seasonal Precipitation?  I have all sorts of great meteorological soda concepts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don&#8217;t you think that would be a good advertising campaign for Pepsi?
