Superheroes, Story Telling and Soda
The Avengers are getting their own movie. So is the Justice League.
In fact, SupeHero movies are all the rave.
(I saw some cool 'fan made' trailers on You Tube for a Justice League movie...but as cool as they were, they were just speculations...)
I’ve been collecting comics since I was 14 or so. (actually, I got my first subscription to Amazing SpiderMan when I was 9. I remember it because my parents were still married.). I don’t avidly collect any more (Alternate Mutant realities and DC reboots have ruined it for me) but I have friends that do and I keep my eye on what is going on out there.
What does this have to do with Pepsi or Coca Cola? Keep reading…
One of the fun things about loving comics books and super heroes is creating your own teams. Who’s the best guy to have in ‘this’ situation. Or that one? Who’s the smartest? The toughest?
One year…maybe 3 or 4 years ago…I was part of a group that each created a team and then each week wrote an issue of a comic book based on the team. You were allowed to change the cannon fodder any way you wanted. So, to be clever, I created a team that combined DC and Marvel heroes. I based the team in Los Angeles and I chose heroes that were considered either ‘good looking with an ego to match’ or otherwise Hollywood Fabulous material.
The team turned out to be:
Green Arrow
Changeling
WonderMan
She Hulk
Paladin
Northstar and
Human Torch
I even called upon the name of a defunct Marvel team from the late Seventies and called them the Champions of Los Angeles.
What does this have to do with Pepsi or Coca Cola? I’m getting to it! Hang on …
It occurred to me…today…3 years after the fact….that if I wanted to abbreviate the name of the team into letters (the way that Saturday Night Live is referred to as ‘SNL’) then my Champions of Los Angeles would be C.O.L.A.
COLA! What are the odds…?!?!?!?!?
Not only did I intentionally write the stories as a team of clumsy, inner fighting, not-accepted-by-the-public heroes…but in HINDSIGHT, who could take them seriously if they were referred to as COLA?!
Crazy, right?!
Could Pepsi be a team of Super VILLAINS??
“Powerful Enemies Perpetrating Severe Indecencies”
Coca Cola could stand for:
“Concerned Octogenarians Clamoring About the Champions Of Los Angeles”
Dr. Pepper could be a dangerous Mega Villain.
Mountain Dew could be his hidden lair in the mountains (obviously)
Soda and SuperHeroes…the possibilities are endless.

Obama is running away with election and Soda Sales
Barak Obama is making John McCain look like a doddering old man. Not only are his presentations in the presidential debate more inspiring and motivating, but sales of Obama Campaign Cola are beating down sales of John McCain's cola.
If soda sales were as reliable a poll as Gallup's post debate polls, Obama would be up 2-to-1.
Of course, that's based only on the sales reports that come from this blog.
Historically, the 'soda buying market' is NOT a demographic used to measure political power...and Campaign Cola may be too small a niche' to be a reliable measure. In fact, it may beg the question: are Liberals simply bigger soda drinkers? Perhaps Scotch or Whiskey market speaks to the Conservative crowd?
Which political party sponsors Whoopass?
The Democrats, who support the 'modern-ness' of energy drinks, or the Republicans, who support 'finishing the job' the Iraq?
The election is not until November 4th, but you can tilt the tide in your favor by drinking your vote! Perhaps Gallup Polls will turn their attention to the oft-ignored 'Campaign Cola' movement!
