Donkeyelephant
Maybe we should have launched SuperTuesdayFreak as well. An ABC News/Washington Post poll asked adults whether they’re more excited about the Super Bowl or the Super Tuesday presidential primaries, and the Bowl won by a mere field goal (40 percent to 37 percent, with most of the rest excited about neither event). Even among self-described football fans, 26 percent said they’re more excited by Super Tuesday. The game beat the primaries among male respondents (48 percent to 34 percent), but the primaries beat the game among women (40 percent to 32 percent). Among those planning to watch the game, 15 percent said they’ll do so mainly for the commercials.

Have A Coke And A Comment

Phil Mooney has been in charge of The Coca-Cola Company’s archives since 1977. In his role as archivist, he has conducted numerous interviews for radio and television including three segments on the Today Show and appearances on The History Channel, the Food Network and CNN. He also writes “Collectors Columns” as a means to keep in touch with collectors and other interested parties.

Now (that it’s 2008) he has a company blog.

This is our first Company blog – but definitely not our last. We’re starting with the Company’s heritage – not just the history, but the love people have for Coke. We’ll talk about people who collect Coke memorabilia, the items they collect and the stories they tell. We’ll talk about recipes made using Coca-Cola and our other drinks. We’ll talk about what’s happening today with Coke – and how it relates to things from our past. And we’ll talk about the new World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta, which just opened last summer.

The most recent post on Coca-Cola Conversations offers behind-the-scenes information on the the making of one of this season’s Super Bowl ads.
