GarbagePailKids banner at the top covered in snow. The sky in the background gradients from white to blue to red. The ground is covered in tons of snow. In the center a cartoon Josh Allen looks jolly with rosy cheeks and wearing a Buffalo Bills jersey with a winter BILLS hat, throwing a snow-covered football. A label at the bottom says his name is Arctic Allen.

Now do an Owners series!
@ufez someone _should_ do an actual Garbage Humans series of all the billionaires
@travis It's honestly a pretty good business idea, just have to build a solid legal squadron.

Brad's Drink

seemingly complete gallery of the 21 stages of the Pepsi Cola logo
TIL Pepsi was originally Brad's Drink, but, more importantly, this shows that:
- Before 1950, branding was the province of mescaline addicts only
- by 1951, branding had already absorbed Baudrillard avant le hashtag
- Before 1950, branding was the province of mescaline addicts only
- by 1951, branding had already absorbed Baudrillard avant le hashtag
Willing to bet the designs 1903-1951 aren't deliberate modifications, but the results of hiring local artists to redraw the logo because they didn't have a clean copy of the previous original.
On the other hand, I'd bet the designs from 1991-onward are the result of marketing executives doing a rebranding purely to pad out their resumes while they hustle on to their next promotion.

I have a historical trademark book in my office with some additional info... "Brad" is because it was invented and sold by a pharmacist named Caleb D Bradham, before he branded it later as Pepsi Cola. He did really well with it until WW1 when there was sugar rationing and then sugar price fluctuations later. He lost ownership at a specific point when he bought sugar at a high and suddenly had to sell it way low in 1920.
I don't think any of these are very good. 69-71 is the cleanest, but not very interesting. And the 2008-23 attempt to make an equivalent to Coke's "Dynamic Ribbon Device" is a total failure. The black ring around the current one makes the logo look cramped.

animated gif showing a sequence from an advertisement for 'The Simpsons Halloween Scare-a-Thon' Sunday at 7:00 WFLD FOX CHICAGO. The Simpson family are seated on their couch; lightning strikes, causing an x-ray effect and for Marge's hair to have a Bride-of-Frankenstein style lightning bolt on the side.
Doesn't show Marge's bunny ears: https://www.youtube.com/shorts...
I like how everyone's hair is part of their skeletons, except for Marge.

worst. armor. ever.
Not to mention they're literally Stormtroopers, the movie's Nazis by proxy. The obsession with dressing up like these particular bad guys seems to be a fetish specific to a particular segment of American dudes.

FUCK YEAH POTATOES

As someone who has enjoyed a few Potato Festivals in Oregon, and worked on a few potato farms in Oregon, I can confirm potato.
I love a museum. I’ll go to ANY kind. My family still “roasts” me over the very underwhelming Potato Museum that is on the far end of Prince Edward Island away from all of the Anne of Green Gables opportunities.
Thanks for coming to my story-time.

Gavin Bryars With Tom Waits - Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet (full album)
alt text
TiL-
Another well-known early work of Bryars is Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet (1971), which has as its basis a recorded loop of an old homeless man singing a musical fragment that the man had improvised.[5] On top of that loop, rich harmonies played by a live ensemble are built, increasing in density, before the whole thing gradually fades out. A recording of this work was made in 1993 with Tom Waits singing along with the original recording of the homeless man during the final section.

This is gorgeous.
Source channel is not only possessed of an impeccable moniker but also a staggering collection of musical odds and ends.

I don't mind this but I had a friend who worked in a record shop when he was younger and one of the assistants put this on more than once and it slowly drove him mad.
@poorusher Yeah, it's about the only Bryars piece I can only stand in small segments separated by long intervals. It's brilliant, it's... just the wrong kind of earworm for me personally.
@poorusher I worked at a really great CD store and caught flack to one time I put on The Best of Brick because a former employee played it “all the time”. Someone bought it so that shut ‘em up https://m.youtube.com/watch...

"The Super Chromonica might be the most surprising item from our selection, as no other object in our store will allow its owner to emit a sound. However, we believe that certain objects can act as gateways to a more beautiful way of life and Hohner's instruments do just that. Guided by its mission of enabling anyone to enjoy music to the fullest, this hidden champion from Baden-Württemberg has become the world's leading manufacturer for harmonicas and accordions."
All that talk and they don't even say what key it's in. THAT'S IMPORTANT IF YOU WANT A DAMN HARMONICA. fwiw they're asking about 30% more than Sweetwater is for the same item.

I went through a rye sub-phase during my breadmaking days and all I can say is that dough made with rye is incredibly sticky. I used to feed the starter with rye flour and mix it by hand and oh my god it was the fucking worst mess imaginable, i had to claw the starter off my hands with a bench scraper and between that and the acidity of the levain my hands were a goddamn mess.
Howdy! Want some rye? Of course ye do.

an old record album. The center label is red and blank. The album has a very fancy spiderwebby pattern and also says RCA Victor around the center
Did not buy but I sure did stare at it a while.
I have a couple of those in my pile of 78s, I don’t know why some songs were released as a single side but they’re really neat.
wonderful time
