Costco No Longer Carrying Coca-Cola Products
If you weren't able to locate a case of Coke on your last trip to Costco, don't worry — you aren't going crazy. Yesterday, the wholesale club confirmed that it is no longer carrying Coca-Cola products in stores nationwide.
The Washington-based wholesaler is currently in the middle of a dispute with the Coca-Cola Co.
Stone Fruit Variety or Snack Food Flavor?
Today Party and I were talking about Summer stone fruits, and she remarked that she thought many of the season's fruit varieties had funny-sounding names that reminded her Gatorade flavors! I have to agree — some of the fruit names bear a striking resemblance to names that you might come across in the snack-food aisle. Are you able to identify whether the name is a stone fruit variety or a snack food flavor?
Meet 901, Justin Timberlake's New Tequila
He's already a pop singer, fashion designer, and restaurant owner, but Justin Timberlake's latest job title? Spirits maker. Yesterday the young entrepreneur announced the launch of his new line of tequila, 901.
Coca-Cola Brings Vault Drink Head to Head With Mtn Dew
Beverage titan Coca-Cola, eager to improve flat sales of carbonated beverage Vault, is hoping to win over consumers with a campaign that employs a tried-and-true tactic: free drinks.
Although Pepsi-owned (and recently renamed) Mtn Dew carries as much as 80 percent of the market share for citrus soda, Coca-Cola's three-year-old citrus cooler Vault, with four percent of the market share, has fizzled with customers. Hoping to turn the tides for Vault, Coca-Cola will soon begin its "Don't Dew It" campaign.

Due to Customer Backlash, Tropicana Ditches New Logo
Last month Tropicana debuted a clean new look to emphasize the all-natural, fresh squeezed juice. However, due to an overwhelming amount of customer outrage, the company is abandoning the changes and returning to the old packaging. Many loyal Tropicana fans were disgusted by the brand's redesigned logo — which features a glass of orange juice against a white backdrop, instead of the familiar orange with a straw poking out the side — calling it ugly, stupid, and generic-looking.
Coca Cola to Remove the Word "Classic" From Title
Coca-Cola is perhaps the most classic of American drinks, however the company has announced their plan to remove the word "classic" from its name. "Classic" was added over twenty years ago, in 1985, to signify that the brand was making a return to using the original recipe. Now with a global approach to advertising, the word is no longer beneficial to the brand.
Do You Know Your Brand Slogans?
When I was young, Toys 'R' Us had a jingle that went something like, "I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toys 'R' Us Kid..." I can still remember the songs that pitched kiddie products to me on Saturday mornings between Tom & Jerry and The Flintstones episodes.
Take my quiz to see if you know the most current kiddie slogans.
Sharing Your Label Love: Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?
Can you pick out the pet bag from the human tote? It's totally difficult, especially when popular brands make similar styles for you and your furry friends. Celebs seem to think nothing of dropping cash on collars and carriers that match labels they favor be it most likely real to possibly fake, and I can't judge because, if I had more cash, I'd probably pamper North with at least one pricey piece.
New Product Alert! Boots & Barkley at Target
Hello Kissy Face! I just got my new pet-gear catalog from Target in the mail and all the cute stuff makes me want to rush to the store ASAP. While they've recently expanded their online pet selection, I couldn't yet find the Boots & Barkley gear (a private Target label) on the web.
