PEPSI'S
HOLIDAY SPICE
review by Jerry Horror
Sunday, December 05, 2004
Yep. It's that time of year again. However there are no sugar
plums dancing
in my head. My pants, maybe. Smell the cash being thrown oh so
recklessly at crap people won't buy. Pepsi has even bottled all
that cheer in a variety of
bottles, they call their nasty concoction: HOLIDAY SPICE. Chug
some of those swill down, it shall be gone once it's no longer
profitable. Until next
year, when they put all the leftover crap out, to steal your hardly
earned
dough In all actuality I think the beverage isn't all that bad,
it's like Pepsi
with chai and cinnamon. All in all your life can be shit, but,
for under two
bucks the holiday cheer can be all yours. Genius, true genius.
I can't wait
too see what they drop for Easter. Maybe Cadbury Cream cola? If
so I thought of it first, so Pepsi definitely give me a call.
God it's been 40 years almost since Charlie Brown had a Christmas
special. Leave to my man Chuck to realize even then X-mas had
become a commercial event/ordeal focusing on buying love, rather
than feeling it. I saw two grown women fight over a Barbie sleeping
bag on sale last week. Pretty sad, but, hey, if that's their biggest
problem, I envy those two minivan skanks. Anyways, this will be
the first year I will not be working in retail for the holidays.
Last year for some extra cash I worked at Toys R Fucked. After
that traumatic experience, I know why Geoffrey Giraffe is filing
chapter 11. Yup the evil Mega Corporation known as Target fired
me for being on break too long. Three weeks before Christmas.
They're all scumbags and karmas a bitch. They'll get theirs. I'm
actually happy though. I'm going to really take time out and enjoy
this festive season. No more retail, in fact I'm applying to colleges
as we speak.
I truly now know what the expression: Keep Christ in Christmas
really means. I also believe everyone in this country should work
one Holiday season in retail, it truly would destroy the likes
of most men.
