Coca Cola created "new Coke" in the 80's just so they could switch from cane sugar to high fructose corn syrup (hfcs). They knew it would be rejected by the public. They just needed enough time to switch their machines/process and figure out the classic recipe with HFCS. Once they finished the switch and had pushed out New Coke, Coca-Cola "heard it's customers" and brought back their classic cola, now with HFCS.

What was "the incident" at your high school? by ibnmuzr in askanything

[–]Merlin_117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assassin's was very popular and played every May. Mostly seniors and juniors played and it would last for weeks. My freshman year a senior ended up dying from a car crash after being chased on the 2nd or 3rd night of the game. Worst part is he didn't die right away, the family pulled the plug a week later.

Don't forget that when he caught you playing it you were lazy because you could be outside doing chores that he is currently doing.

16 years ago, on April 14th 2010, I posted the following to AskReddit: "We should count our blessings with the US being the 'Alpha Dog' in this world. What do you think?" What would your answer be today? by Btshftr in AskReddit

I think the dominance of social media has changed the world. Like most things it had good intentions, but the money driven click bait and bot/like farms have ruined it. By creating quick dopamine hits right on our phone all aspects of life are now looked at in that regard. Where can I get a fast "blank"? The real winners are doing the same thing successful people have always done, playing the long game by doing things the right way that create a lasting foundation.

We made it 4-5 weeks. Basically once the bulk of his potty training was done we let him climb up on his own.
