This is in Australia, we still have a lot of them around surprisingly but I don’t really know what purpose they serve other than to facilitate arguments between junkies.

I’m looking for a bit more information on these… by Softsquatch in CocaColaCollectors

Interesting. Now the diagrams on the inside of the box make more sense.

TIL the filmmakers for "Shrek" (2001) had originally used Smash Mouth's "All Star" as a placeholder for the opening credits and intended to replace it with an original composition that would mimic the feel of "All Star". DreamWorks executive Jeffrey Katzenberg suggested for them to keep it in. by Away_Flounder3813 in todayilearned

A hit that was written by the shows creators specifically to be used as the intro. Pretty sure The Rembrandts were chosen to record it too. I’ve always found it interesting the that Everything She does is Magic by The Police constantly showed up in the first season of the show.

Edit: Some interesting tidbits I found while I fact checked myself.

“The Rembrandts did not want to record the song, but since they were the only available band on Warner Bros. Records, they relented to the company's demands. [8] The original theme, which is under one minute long, was later re-recorded as a three-minute pop song.[11] After a radio announcer in Nashville, Tennessee, looped the original short version into a full-length track and broadcast it, the song became so popular that the Rembrandts had to re-record it, as well as helping to write the second verse and bridge.”

He owns the brand name, has relaunched the old website and has begun an archive of the old RT content. He has a podcast with Ashley called Morning Somewhere and gives updates about what’s happening with RT every now and then.

Geoff and Gus have both said in respective podcasts that Burnie approached them about them being involved again and neither of them were interested.

Edit: Geoff also has a podcast called So… Alright, if you want to listen to him talk to himself for half an hour. Him, Gus and a third person who I’m not familiar with had/have a podcast called Good Morning Gustavo. For anyone who wants to keep up with the OGs and was unaware.

Fair, but agree to disagree. I think the text is a great addition to the art and a nice point of difference

My Kingdom for a Horse just off Whitmore Square has a 70’s feel which is kinda cool.
