Devious Advertising


       Remove this ad - become a site supporter!
I was reading a few threads tonight and who keeps popping up Hobby King. For the most part people have good to say about them. I still like them and their products and for the most part they allow my pocket book to keep me in the air(reasonably priced) Yes I had a rant about my last two orders and am still *.. off about them. Others have also had issues.
Now if you are reading this and know me by some of my other posts are probably wondering where I am going with this . Back in 1985 Coca Cola took the original flavoured Coke off the market and replaced it with New Coke. Now some say that it was the publics nostalgia for the old coke . That they rebottled it and called it Classic Coke. Now if you where around at the time this happened and old enough to realize what was going on.
IT WAS THE WORLDS LARGEST ADVERTISINE HOAX. It was on Radio On TV on everyones lips all news reports had a story on Coke ,that was all you heard was about Coke and guess what it was FRee . The person who came up with it at Coke was a genius. Where do you get so much free advertising
Now do you see where I am going about HKing

Re: Devious Advertising

So does that mean that you just volunteered to give them some more free advertising?

Re: Devious Advertising

I have no idea what the heck you're talking about but, suddenly I feel like a Coke. I might go put the Scorpions on the turntable and play a little Electronic Quarterback...

Vince,
Fill me in on this fun fly..I'm new on the block. Just got my MAAC and am trying to get a hold of the guys at the club here in Fredericton. Working shiftwork makes it hard to meet up with experienced guys but does give me those nice sunny days in the middle of the week

What was this thread about again.......uummmm Coke
