We’re very anti-soda to begin with, but when soft drink (or “pop”, as it’s called in our homeland) companies start getting all ridiculous with odd hybrid beverages we really lose interest. Seriously, give us water, coffee or something with an alcoholic kick in it, anything’s better than sugary and corn syrup-y soda.

Advertising tends to be a devil’s advocate sort of device, convincing smart people to buy things they shouldn’t (Coke, candy, over-priced clothes) by appealing to some of their most basic desires. This scenario is made especially literal in the sorts of ads featured in mental_floss’s listicle of 8 Angel Vs. Devil Commercials, our favorite of [...]

As we’ve noted before – and as has become only more true in the age of viral marketing – sometimes it pays, literally, to make ads that make no sense. If it’s cool, catchy, pretty, funny or just shocking, people will watch it and pass it on. That is the principle at work in these [...]

About a week ago we alluded to how dangerous soda can be, especially for kids, but didn’t really offer much credible evidence or helpful advice to back up the claim.

That said, we’re also very much not in favor of being given something packaged as “new” that is in fact [...]

Bloggers are straight-tripping over the announcement that alcoholic energy drink Sparks will be discontinued, due to allegations that manufacturer MillerCoors was “aggressively [marketing the drink] to a younger crowd.” What does this mean for your weekend? As orange tongues dry up in college towns across America, fans will probably start hoarding the drink. A similar [...]

We here at Listicles, ever promoting, encouraging and covering expansion in the list community, are big fans of list-form “likes” sites such as Stuff White People Like, or Stuff Hipsters Don’t Like. Yesterday we learned of a much shorter “like” site with a less sociological and more environmental outlook: Things Bears Love. Despite linking to [...]

The manly men over at Asylum inform concerned readers and trashy food-eaters of some especially dangerous foods in this list of 15 Delicacies That Might Kill You. Strikingly, the list goes against the entrenched tradition of proving masculine superiority by vacuuming the most disgusting foods as though they were little more than baby carrots.
