Welcome to another edition of “Do You Remember?” On this edition we revisit the craze known as “Pegging”. For those that are not familiar with this term or referred it to something else, “pegging” is when you take the cuffs of your jeans and roll them up so they are nice and tight. Please take a look at exhibit “A”.
Exhibit "A"
Growing up in the 80′s and 90′s was rather interesting when it came to music. Especially since I grew up in the suburbs of North Attleboro where everybody rocked to hair bands or pop artists. However out of the ashes came the sweet and soulful sounds of R&B music.
So we are going to hop in the proverbial time machine and take you back to some great R&B artists and songs in this edition of “Do You Remember?” So turn the lights low, light up some candles, and hug someone close!
Yup it is about that time for another edition of “Do You Remember”. I woke up this morning and for some strange reason I thought about this classic sketch comedy show “In Living Color”. So I thought this would be perfect for “Do You Remember”?
So New England felt the need to respond to the famous Super Bowl Shuffle done by the Chicago Bears. Now I have to say that the comeback to Chicago was pretty lame. But if you watch this video you will find it very hilarious and cheesy. Especially around the 4:05 mark. Ha-ha!! Sorry Dad had to do it to you!!
I was talking with some of my friends one day and they were talking about some of my blog posts! Yes I do have friends that actually read my blog. Anyways the whole time they were talking I was thinking of topics to post about. And then out of nowhere I came up with another Do You Remember topic. How many of you people remember OK soda? Now most of you may not have heard of it because of living outside of the test market areas. After doing some research on Wikipedia I discovered that Coke tested this product in select areas. But anyways back to the soda. It was released by Coke. All I remember were the crazy ads and the toll free number. They were some freaky commercials. I also remember seeing this stuff in grocery stores and wondering what the hell it tastes like. The commercials never gave any indication as to what kind of soda it was. Is it a cola? Flavored soda? Nobody knew! Until you tasted it. In theory it seemed like a great idea. Coke certainly played into people’s curiosity. However once you actually tasted it you understood why they the ads never told you what it tastes like. Because to me, Ok soda tasted like crap! However it created a buzz within the U.S. as to what was in the soda. People can only speculate what the ingredients were in Ok. I have heard that they mixed all the Coke products and came up with Ok soda. Another explanation was a combination of orange soda and flat Coke. Whatever it was that was in Ok soda obviously didn’t taste well. Ok soda managed to fizzle out after two years.
R.I.P. OK. Soda (1993-1995)
