I tried an experiment today. I opened a bottle of Coke, and drank some. It tasted like Coke. Then I pulled the label off and drank some more. Suddenly it didn’t taste like Coke anymore. That’s marketing for you. They may as well call it Brown, Bubbly & Wet™.

Another Whathafuck?! moment today - I was in the bank lining up (as you do). Behind me in the queue was a perfectly respectable woman in her mid 40’s who must have been talking to a friend on her mobile phone. I had no problem with that - but what she said made a few of the more conservative members of the queue have the hair on the back of their neck stand on end - “Oh, after I’ve finished with the bank, I’m taking my son to the sex shop to buy him a cockring and a buttplug for his birthday.”

I loved the way the innocent grandma in front of me turned to her husband and asked him what a buttplug was.
