Discontinuation

Doubt was cast over the future of Vanilla Coke and its splinter beverages when the company announced the 2004 sales figures: 35 million unit cases in North America compared to 90 million in 2002; Vanilla Diet Coke dropped from 23 million unit cases in its inaugural year (2003) to 13 in 2004.

On 3 November 2005, The Coca-Cola Company announced that Vanilla Coke and its diet counterpart would be discontinued in the United Kingdom and Ireland by early 2006. A day later it was announced that it would be phased out in North America by the end of 2005.

Coca-Cola introduced Black Cherry Vanilla Coke and Diet Black Cherry Vanilla Coke in North America in January 2006. At the time, the company said Vanilla Coke and Diet Vanilla Coke would possibly made available again in the future:[2] "We are exploring ways to bring them back at another time, but right now Diet Black Cherry Vanilla Coke and Black Cherry Vanilla Coke are what consumers are telling us they want."[10] Vanilla Coke beverages were never discontinued in some markets such as Australia, France, Russia and Germany.

Reintroduction

From 19 February 2007, Vanilla Coke was re-introduced into New Zealand. As of May 2007 Coca-Cola Vanilla was re-introduced into the US. A Coca-Cola Vanilla Zero has also been introduced. The re-released Coca-Cola Vanilla features a new packaging design. Vanilla Coke was also introduced to China in 2007. Now it is also being sold in other countries.

So why wasn't it brought back to Ireland and Great Britain!

Michael Jackson - Wacky stories from after his death!



WHOLE OF THE LOON
A crater on the moon has been named Michael Joseph Jackson in honour of the star. The crater, formerly known as Posidonius J, can be seen from earth through a telescope and was renamed by the Lunar Republic Society after the Thriller singer’s death.


NEVERLAND OF RISING SUN
A group of Chinese Businessmen have proposed to build a replica of Jackson’s Neverland Ranch on an island north of Shanghai as a tribute to the late singer. The 10m replica would be the centrepiece of an agricultural sightseeing park with sample rural cuisine and Chinese folk music. Developers hope to have the park open for business next year.


JACKO WAS IN THE CLOSET
“Michael Jackson had a string of gay lovers who he seduced by saying, ‘The King of Pop is going to lick your lollipop’,”
This is the claim made by in biographer Ian Halperin’s new book Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson.
The book quotes two unidentified men who say they were the singer’s gay lovers and would meet him in grotty motels for gay romps.


‘THE KID IS MY SON’
Just days after his death, Jacko’s serial stalker Billie Jean Jackson, who inspired his ‘80’s smash hit Billie Jean - claimed that she was the mother of his youngest son Blanket whose real name is Prince Michael Jackson II.


THRILLER KILLERS
As all eyes focused on the actions of Jacko’s personal doctor Conrad Murray in the hours leading up to his death, the singer’s sister La Toya blamed a group of manipulative hangers-on for effectively murdering her sensitive brother.
La Toya said: “I believe Michael was murdered, I felt that from the start.”


REMAINS LEFT ON ICE
US showbiz media outlets claim to have proof that Jacko’s body is being held in a freezer by his family until his burial. Reports claim he is above ground in a freezer at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills and is frequently visited by his mother Katherine. Freezing is an expensive process.




TIME TO BURY THE HATCHET ON RUMOUR
Almost seven weeks after Jackson died on June 25th, word leaked to the media he had been buried in an unmarked grave during a secret ceremony attended only by his family. Reports in the British media said Michael’s body has been laid to rest at the Forest Lawn Cemetery in L.A. It has now been confirmed his official burial will take place on the 29/8/09.


BUBBLE BURSTS FOR CHIMP
Sources revealed how Jackson’s former trusty companion Bubbles the chimp was banned from his funeral.
As the King of Pop’s funeral took place in California, the ape was kept 3,000 miles away in an animal sanctuary in Wauchula, Florida. A spokesman for the Centre For Great Apes said: “It is sad for Bubbles but it is better that he stays here.”


INVASION OF THE BODY SNATHERS
Up to 70,000 people gathered at the Staples Centre in downtown LA for Jackson’s stylish send-off and a further billion watched on TV stations across the world, but an insider later dropped a bombshell by claiming the singer’s casket did not contain his body. The insider said: “The coffin was empty. There was no body there at all.” The Jacksons have denied this.


HAIR WE GO AGAIN
An autopsy into one of the world’s most popular singer’s ravaged body showed he was bald and severely disfigured. Doctors revealed that his hair was reduced to a “peach fuzz” on his scalp. It was claimed that the black shoulder-length barnet he displayed in public was just a wig.

Inglourious Basterds review



The Plot

In Nazi-occupied France during World War II, a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as "The Basterds" are chosen to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis. The Basterds cross paths with a French-Jewish teenage girl who runs a movie theatre in Paris where a special movie premiere is about to happen!

My Verdict

Overall, it’s a great film. It covers a few topics to suit different types of cinema goers.
It has action for the men (or women)
It has cut off scenes with no killing for the women (I know that doesn’t mean much)
And it has mindless killing of Nazis! (not trying to be racist!)
What more can you ask for!
The acting is very good.
Brad Pitt has a good role, funny but he’s looking older. It may just be the role he’s playing or that he’s getting on in years!
Christoph Waltz was very funny in an ‘I’m gonna kill you way!’

So I would easily recommend you to go see this film.
My rating is 5/5.

Classic games

Everybody likes the classics like Crash Bandicoot but would you people in the cyber world like to see them remade or would it just ruin the reputation of the classic game? Leave me a comment!

GTA IV vs. Saints Row 2

Do you think GTA IV would be better if it had more cheats? For example, Saints Row 2 has loads of cheats but GTA IV has alot less. Here's my question to you. Would GTA IV be better with lots of cheats like Saints Row 2 to use after you've finished the game (or during the game if you want!)or would it ruin the whole realism of the game? Leave me a comment giving me your view on this topic!

Comedian of the week - Lee Evans


☺”I love restaurants, and that’s the thing they always boast about now, restaurants-home made cooking! I don’t want homemade cooking, that’s why I’m here, ‘cos I don’t like the s**t at home! And they don’t say who’s home it is, do they! Could be a mental home, couldn’t it?”





☺” We get completely lost driving in, and we asked the way. Why is it that when you ask for directions you always get the village–f**king-idiot?”





☺” I love kebabs. They give you all that meat, that saturated fat, and they give you that little bit of salad. What’s that, the healthy section? Never see a drunk do that, do you? ‘Where’s me salad! What are you trying to do, kill me?





☺” I swear, the other day I bought a packet of peanuts, and on the packet it said ‘may contain nuts’. Well f**king YES! That’s what I bought the buggers for! You’d be pissed off if you opened it and a socket set fell out!”





☺” Old people can’t fall asleep in their chair in peace. As soon as they start to nod of you go, Nan! Nan!

“They go, ‘What? What?’

“Oh sorry we just thought you di….”





☺” I tried water polo and my horse drowned….that was a nightmare.”





☺”They always say the same thing. They say, ‘Your appointment is at four,” and its never at four! You go down there at four and you have to wait in that waiting room with all the coughers for another bloody hour. You know when the doctor comes out at five and he’ll say, ‘I’ll see you now’. “No you bloody won’t! I’ve got a few more posters to read yet! Sit the f**k down!”





☺”We used to do mad stuff, as kids. Like lick a battery. What the f**k was that? You used to be like, ‘John! John! Watch!

“F**k, you just had a stroke.”

“I know!”

“Do it again!”

“I was gonna!”
