I'm not a health nut, not in the least. In fact I do more harm to my body on a day to day basis than anyone I know. If you add up the 5 bags of goldfish I eat at work, the burrito I eat when I get home, and then the dozen or so beers I put away at night it's easy to see why my body hates me. But for some odd reason I just couldn't get over this Chubby Kids soda I saw at CVS this weekend. Not that it's just bad for you but rather that they put it in the name of the thing they are trying to sell. What marketing god, and yes this dude is a god, said "well fuck it, everyone's already talking shit about our soda making kids obese, so if you can't beat em, might as well join em"? Whoever came up with this is a god damn genius, Lloyd. Truly a stalwart moment in marketing. The cigarette companies should get this guy on board to make a grim reaper cigarette that has a "minutes lost off your life" calculator on the side of the pack. Would sell like hotcakes.
PS - Someone please find me this kid on the right, cause I got Chubby Kids Soda on the line right now and they want him as their spokesperson.
pretty sure that "kid" on the right is the mother of the kid on the left.
