Looking over my shoulder from the kitchen. I thought "That's nice. What a lovely sentiment" and didn't give it another thought.

So...what I thought was a lovely sentiment set off a bunch of nitwits?


Typical.

I just sent them an email saying I will not buy coca cola again. I don’t drink soda but I bought it for my grown daughter. She will now drink Pepsi.

looking at the first freeper post there: if she is his 'grown daughter' shouldn't/wouldn't she be able to decide for herself what kind of soda she wants to drink >.>

i can see it now, Exit148: hey daughter, i know you wanted cola but their company made an ad that was warm, caring and inclusive so your drinking pepsi from now on, is that clear

Amazing that the people complaining the loudest have not only the worst spelling and grammar imaginable, but also don't seem to know that "America the Beautiful" is NOT the "Star Spangled Banner"...

Just because you sing a song at a baseball game, it does NOT make it the 'national anthem'...
Otherwise, ours would have been "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" a while ago...

...together, but Coke and Cheerios certainly made a great combination tonight.

Maybe the chefs on chopped could come up with a new taste treat featuring these 2 products.
