At least someone talked an executive out of calling it "New Coke Zero."

They can't go there again.  It was lucky marketing many years ago with "New Coke".  Give it a rest Coke...

As I sat down to dinner earlier tonight, I thought "I should take a picture and post it to the TST food thread."  

I had been a good cook, but I think I've improved in the past year or so.  I also bought a barbecue a few weeks ago, and have used it a few times, although tonight's dinner was stovetop.  Scallops, shrimp, and peas.  I suppose I could post the steak from my inaugural usage of the grill a few weeks ago, but I don't know if that defeats some of the spirit of the thread.

This was yummy but it was not my best presentation-wise.  The latter is something I've neglected the past year or so in my cooking, so I should work on that.

Presentation is dumb. 🙂

In your own home who cares?

This could not affect me less. I'm allergic to artificial sweeteners. 

However, I still disagree with the article saying this could be the biggest change Coke has ever made.... Who could forget "New Coke"?

I don’t think you read the article.

I actually did. They said something about the boldest move Coke has made since some suggestion about adding marijuana to Coke. I'm saying this change to Coke Zero is nothing compared to when New Coke came out in 1985. They actually discontinued the current Coke and people lost their minds. They were hording it like toilet paper pre-pandemic. People sold it for a hundred bucks a case. People were actually travelling abroad to bring back the old formula. After about 3 months Coke bent to the horrible beating they were taking in the media and reintroduced Coke as "Coke Classic". It was a crazy story that occupied a ton of news during the summer of 1985. 

So, my point is tweaking Coke Zero isn't as bold as discontinuing Coke. That's all I was trying to say.

That’s quite different than “this could be the biggest change Coke has ever made”. The article didn’t say that. But you said it did.

So…

The article covered “New Coke,” too.

Yeah, I know. I read the article and then did some other stuff before commenting on it. So, I probably wasn't as clear as I could have been. :beer:

Anyone ever have a hot dog with smoked salmon? This looks pretty good actually.

    • Day 201 3-6 Wider backswing trying to blend it all together for a full swing. Not looking good yet. 
    • Day 74 - 2026-03-06 Backswing work out back at the net. Slow.
    • Day 101: did a stack session. Worked on hands down in the mirror during breaks. 
    • Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
    • Pablo, you can’t get much safer than cash and a public meetup spot. Don’t know what happened to you there.  Always check their profile to make sure they have either sold stuff, have other things for sale and have a profile that shows they don’t join FB the day before.  Be wary if the price is too low, but those are usually the people who joined 2 days ago and have nothing in their profile .  Craigslist is the place full of scumbags usually.
