So I am sitting here reading this node in a mental haze at work, when I realized that I have a can of OK Soda in my desk here. The expiration date listed is February 13, 1995.
These cans had a paragraph on them of OK things that happened to people that drank OK soda, or not so OK things to people who passed it up.
Here is the coincidence on the can that I am looking at now.
Coincidence #12
REED R. OF SEATTLE, WASHINGTON DRANK SEVERAL CANS
OF “OK” AND SUDDENLY FELT GRATEFUL FOR A LOT OF
THINGS HE’D TAKEN FOR GRANTED. HIS BROTHER, DEREK
R., DECLINED A CAN OF “OK” AND REFUSED TO CALL
1-800-I-FEEL-OK. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE
SUBSEQUENT LOSS OF HIS JOB OR HIS DOG’S REFUSAL
TO LET HIM PER HER. WE WISH DEREK ALL THE BEST,
AND AGREE WITH REED THAT THINGS ARE GOING TO BE OK.TM
I also just tried the attempt at recreating OK soda in the first writeup on this node. I’m not feeling very OK anymore.
