>Dec. 10, 1985 – high school journal writing assignment

>This is one of the preassigned topics we had to write on. This page doesn’t have any editorial comments from the teacher or other students. I’ve transcribed it exactly as written….

Make up a “new” soft drink, give it a name, describe its taste, and write a jingle to promote it.

Hohum! I’m not in a creative mood today. I think every flavor has been invented already. Wait a minute! What about Apple Snap Apple Pop – tastes like apple juice but with cinnamin [sic] fizz and a little zing added to it. Yeah! Now all I need is a jingle. Well, let’s skip the jingle for now. I’ll work on it. (ha,ha)

Keep in mind New Coke was introduced in April 1985. Also, I don’t drink apple juice. I didn’t back then and don’t now. I do drink Diet Dr. Pepper. Back then Diet Dr. P didn’t exist plus I was skinny. I also never came up with a jingle.

So what “new” soft drink would you create and write about, complete with jingle?
