Can anyone help me with a red neck item that would look semi-decent with this? :3

Eserel 02-13-2009 03:22 AM

red bandana

Cherry Who? 02-13-2009 03:25 AM

You don't need red on your neck because the parrot's head there.
But the cutie scarf might work if you must have red there.

Eserel 02-13-2009 03:27 AM

LOL. Poor Cami. No fizzy happiness for you.

I really like your current avatar, btw. When User's Pick opens up again, if you're still wearing it, remind me to nominate you for it because it's fabulous. :B



Also - do you guys know why Coca-Cola called it "classic"?

Huge Public Relations/marketing nightmare back in the 1980s. I've studied it about ten times for classes in my major. D:

One trivia point for the first person to respond with the right answer. ;p

Cherry Who? 02-13-2009 03:42 AM

New Coke, right?

CK 02-13-2009 03:48 AM

Bing bing bing bing! ::awards trivia point to Cherry:: XD

People freaked out because Coca-Cola changed the flavor for their cola and people were all, "NEW Coke? I want the OLD Coke! Not this new shit!" sales plummeted, everyone was pissed off at Coca-Cola. That's when Pepsi really got a foothold in the cola market - because people switched brands. XD;

The funny thing is, when people were doing taste tests, everyone preferred the "new Coke" taste. Or largely preferred, anyway. But because the old version wasn't available any longer and also they weren't "asked" - consumers rejected New Coke.

If you're at all into Public Relations or Advertising or Marketing or anything like that, you'll probably study that case a lot. :B

Cami 02-13-2009 04:03 AM

Cora: Thanks. ^-^

CK: D: Heck, I'll change back into it just to be nominated. <3

I have heard about that case before. I hadn't realized it was so long ago though.

Yeah, I've heard some people say that Coke Zero tastes a lot like New Coke. And personally, I drink Coke Zero.

I do find advertising and marketing interesting, though. I don't think I'll go into it, though. I find marketing tactics to be way too under-handed, most of the time.
I take it you're going into it?

Cora 02-13-2009 04:49 AM

awww feeewy....I knew that answer xP

Seiki Nova 02-13-2009 06:44 AM

Okay, so change of plans. Family decided to go to the movies and dinner so I couldn't update, and I have to be heading off to bed so that I can get to work in the morning without being a zombie (or more of a zombie than usual), so I'll be updating as soon as I get home from work tomorrow after I take a shower and find something to eat.

-hates working mornings-

Rylynne 02-13-2009 08:50 AM

Oh wow, I never knew about that trivia. =O Thankies for the info, CK! :3 Yay! I learned something new today~ 8DD;; <3<3

And no worries, Seiki~ We can wait. :3 And how early is your work in the morning anyway, if I may ask? =O Is it the usual 8-5 job?

Siri 02-13-2009 01:36 PM

Don't worry about it Seiki. x3
I don't think anyone would have been able to send in their scores yesterday anyway~

Rylynne 02-13-2009 02:05 PM

Oohh, Seiki, may I ask if the next round will overlap with the Valentines' Day event? :> Just wondering~ ^^ <3<3

Seiki Nova 02-13-2009 03:34 PM

I haven't really decided. I might put it off, might not. Depends on when the scores get in and when I have time to get it up and started which could be halfway through the event anyways, so .. who knows? I'll let you guys know later : )

Rylynne 02-13-2009 04:02 PM

Ohh, okies then~ :3 Thankies then for the info. =) <3<3 I was just wondering, since I know that the rest of the Mene forums tend to be deserted during an event. xDD;; <3

Cherry Who? 02-13-2009 07:00 PM

Off topic: I got a boa in the raffle. Can someone please help me come up with a color scheme to use with it? All I need is a color scheme. I can't come up with shit. D:

Kultura 02-13-2009 07:04 PM

I like the colours you have Cherry!
Mebeh yellow and purple, with the red and white from the boa?
Congrats on winning it :)

I don't drink any of them anymore. XD But if I did, it'd be Cherry Coke.

I'm a Public Relations major... I actually tend towards marketing/advertising or event coordination/promotions. Don't like damage control.

I'm not too much into the manipulations of emotions or sly avoidance of stating all the facts. I'm leery of really getting involved in true PR (or even marketing/advertising) for fear of being asked to compromise my integrity (or feel that it has been by people lying to me and me reporting the lies).

Of course, ideally the rule of Public Relations is to tell the truth because if contrary-wise comes out, you're ten shades of screwed. But I think we're all aware that people lie anyway. With full knowledge of what they're doing.

Cherry Who? 02-14-2009 02:06 AM

I read an interesting novel about marketing. If you're interested in the subject, you may like the book. It's quite funny and well-written.

Seiki Nova 02-14-2009 02:07 AM

You guys, I need to postpone the updating. I know I keep doing this to you, but I need to hear back from Navi first because she hasn't posted in the thread since the last round and I don't know if she actually saw the challenge or not. As soon as I figure out what happened with her, I'll update.

Rylynne 02-14-2009 04:33 AM

Oh, it's all right with me, Seiki~ =) Now that you mention it though, it's only now that I've noticed how she hasn't been posting. =\ I had figure she sent in her entry through PM but didn't post here, but I guess that's not the case. ^^;; I hope she's okay though. =O

Cherry Who? 02-14-2009 04:56 AM

Aww, Kultura, is that you and your boyfriend in your signature? You two are adorable. :heart:

[/off topic]

Cora 02-14-2009 05:09 AM

its alright Seiki, we'd all want things to be fair for Navi as well....if she has compy issues or something then thats not fair to judge without her.

Paprika 02-14-2009 10:10 PM

Whew, still not up. xD Thought i was going to be last one sent in lol *Reads back*
