Old radio jingle about soda pops

14 years ago

Do you remember this when can drinks were first introduced?

"Mama,Mama,Mama, don't forget the super cooler

And the other super soft drinks

There in flat top cans

No returns and not deposits

No more empty in the closet

Mom, get super cooler in the flip top cans."

That one had to be before my time. I don't think I've ever heard it.

Soda Pop in Compost Tea or Compost Pile?
Q
Comments (9)
I would not try it in the tea unless you had some way of determining its affect on the microbes. If it a diet soda then it has chemical sweeteners in it. I would not put that in my tea - period. I don't know what effect, if an, the CO2 would have on the tea. I don't think it would have any appreciable impact on the compost - as long as the pile is not drenched in it. The tea on the other hand is more fragile and suseptible to minor changes in its environment. In a decent sized compost pile the volume of coke to the rest of the pile is really small. However, in a 5 gal bucket I think the volume ratio could be more of a factor. In the end I think the old addage for a compost pile or tea holds true: if it did not come from the earth it should not go into the compost pile (or tea). Just my way of thinking about it. tom

club soda to kill fire ants??
Q
Comments (5)
clinda62, the sting of the fire ant is probably due to formic acid and the soda is carbonic acid. It is feasible that some biochemical reaction between the two acids in the bodies of the ants will result in death. If one accepts the proposition that the survival unit is the HIVE and not the individual BEE and extend this to the fire ant mound, the second control method is also credible. The "transplants" will be treated as invaders and battle it out. There is bound to be a lot of casualties from such a skirmish. Aside: Long ago and far away, an old farmer warned me to 'watch for caterpillars whenever there is lightning and thunder with no rain'. Over the years I observed this to be the case on the few occasions when the conditions occured. Of course caterpillar outbreaks happened in other and different conditions but 'the observation often precedes the science'.

Long time, no soda for me, but yesterday was THE day!

I don't like coffee; never did. I drink hot tea and ice tea, with sugar. Never did "like" water and drink very little of it. Used to be a Coca Cola drinker; some time ago I found Cheerwine, a cherry flavored soft drink, at Sharp Shopper. Much cheaper, and much like a cherry Coke. I converted, but now SS doesn't carry them any more because of the rise in prices. Most other chains have them though, and they are cheaper than Cokes, and I do buy them. I have to explain to a first-timer that it is not alcoholic, just like Mountain Dew is not Moonshine. Heard on the news yesterday that now caramel color is the culprit in soft drinks. Almost every afternoon I have a Carnation Essentials drink. They are good, and have a lot of what we need. My doctor says they are fine, keep drinking them. Anybody remember this little jingle: I like coffee, I like tea. I like the boys and the boys like me. Sue This post was edited by Sue-va on Fri, Jan 24, 14 at 20:41

Child listening to radio

The worst are the shock shows. Phil Hendrie at night on the AM band (I think it's 9-10 or 9-11 pm Pacific) and the John & Ken Show in the early evening is not quite as bad. One of the hosts would like to be but the other doesn't let him. (I have only heard these a couple of times; I don't just listen to them, if you care to know.) Profiles of some other shows: Dr. Laura Schlessinger--now I have listened some to that. She seems like a clean talkshow host at first, but she has a curt, sometimes rude style and she does swear a lot (has a fix on the words 'b!+c#' and 'c&@p' especially). And if the little gal isn't aware of the 3rd biological fact yet...well, she'll learn it pretty quick from Dr. Laura. (The show is on in the afternoon, fortunately) Rush Limbaugh--well, it's so Republican party-line, pro-war, pro-Bush biased. And so is Sean Hannedy (sp?). Clean talkshows though. "The Quake"--clean, as far as I know. Slight 'left' political bias. Bill Wattenburg--somewhat shocking. Watch out for that one. Kim Komando--A-OK. Same with the Crackerbarrel Show and some objective politics shows. And on FM there's always NPR. NPR is clean, no uncensored swearing (although their bleep quality sometimes allows part of a word to be heard) or dirty humor, just news, and classical/jazz music. What part of the country are you in, anyway?

OK, I confess...I remember it! I seem to remember the lyrics a little differently, but not enough to matter. What I remember most was, it wasn't very good.

My gran'ma used to call Koolaid "bug juice". Anyone else (besides Pattico, who has same grand'ma)ever heard that?

Speaking of Kool Aid, once i had a family dinner and served some blue Kool Aid for the kids. My sister's boy said, oh we're having 2000 Flushes! I'll never forget that!

"Pepsi Cola hits the spot,
Twelve full ounces - that's a lot:
twice as much for a nickel, too ...
... Pepsi Cola is the drink for you!"

I don't remember the jingle, although I'm certainly old enough, but I'm glad to find out what bug juice is. A store in my home town still has a sign saying *Bug Juice. Freshly squashed.*

remember in the pepsi jingle that in the end of it the singer faded into the background as the commercial ended saying "nickel, nickel, nickel, nickel"

I think that it was mainly on radio that I heard it ... we didn't have TV until shortly after 1950 - a group of Univ. kids at that time, were bound over Christmas for a Student Volunteer Movement Quadrennial Conference dealing with overseas development, largely, in Lawrence, Kansas when, feeling loggy in late evening on a bus under coats, when the bus stopped at a roadhouse in MN, scarcely anyone felt like moving, until someone came back to shout in at the door, "They've got TV!!" ... and you should have seen the flying coats!

I was off this continent from '53 to '63, except for a year in Ithaca N.Y. in '57 - '58, when I didn't have TV.

I don't remember whether this jingle was used after the mid '60s ... but it's been a long time since one could buy Pepsi (or any other such drink) for a nickel!

If anyone had looked at me back then to say that, one day, stores would sell a bottle of plain, ordinary water (supposedly jazzed up a bit) for a price as high as we'd pay for a soft drink ... I'd have looked at him as though he'd taken leave of his senses.

And then ... if he told me that we'd pay more for water than for gasoline ... I'd have thought him gone really squirrelly!!

Hope you've got a good start on this new week.
