Soda Thoughts

$2.19. $2 freakin' 19. For a fountain coke!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! That's what I paid at O' Charley's yesterday. I have to wonder where restaurants have their head these days as they raise the prices on high profit items through the roof. For those of us who love a coke with our meals, we'll pay it. But for a large portion of people (at least in good ole' Kentucky), the more you charge, the more likely we are to order the dreaded water with lemon.

Considering that they probably pay about 10 cents a glass at most, I'm having a hard time understanding why restaurants would want to raise the price to the point where people switch to something you charge nothing.

And while we're at it, why aren't there more diet flavored soda offerings and more caffeine free soda offerings at restaurants?

UPN & WB = CW?????

UPN and WB are merging into one network called CW. CW sounds like the name of a cable network devoted to Country and Western Music. Not sure why you'd build up whatever name these two have established and then kill it for two letters that sound like nothing together.
