Blak cat

It seems like most bloggers out there these days have a cutesy dog they bailed out of the pound who's always out doing wacky backflips in the snow or balancing remote controls on his head. They load up Flickr with 1,000 pictures of the pandering pooch, and everyone goes right along with it, like the sheep that they are.

What about the cats, people? Can your dog show an opinion about Coke Blak: Midcalorie Coffee Flavored Fusion Beverage that is as nuanced as Mo's? Or would your canine camera hog merely lick the bottle in gratitude to be whoring its cuteness on your blog?

I thought so.

Momo Kitty is the coolest. I think his reaction in that photo speaks for all of us.

What's Momo's opinion of the new baby? Has she pulled his tail yet?

Except that Mo is a girl kitty!

Mo regards babies and Coke products with the same air of suspicion.

Love the lighting in this picture. Sets off Mo's expression of horror very well.
Questions:
• Did you actually buy another bottle of Coke Blak, or is this picture from that first tasting?
• Is "midcalorie" a historical product marketing innovation of some sort? Who is it aiming at? People in the "maintenance" phase of a diet?
Thanks,

That is an awesome picture! Pepsi should use it in their counter-ads ("Even an animal that cleans itself with its tongue refuses to drink Coke!).

Yes, in fact this bottle is from the first tasting. We have been trying to con someone into drinking it for two months, with no success, and in this photo, resorted to asking the cat to take it off our hands. As you can see, she refused. This is an animal that eats bugs, mind you.

Midcalorie beverages are probably indeed targeted at some sort of weird ex-Atkins diet stasis segment of the Coke drinking populace as described in customer profile posters at Coke HQ.

I am sure Mo knows that cola is bad for cats.
I myself would like to taste this product in hopes that I like it enough to include it in my diet.
Save it or else I can buy myself a bottle when I arrive at your house. I could be joining Mo Mo in her horror of this Coke Blak. Is that really the name??

MO's swept back ears are caused by the last dying winds of the Coke Blak marketing blitz escaping the bottle.. a weak burp symbolizing the last gasp of a dying society. Remember the 70's? those were the days. when artificial food products were associated with primary colors. the 80's miami vice pastels. the 90's don't count. and now this. I predict translucent french fries by 2010.

"Translucent French fries?" Why not? Remember Crystal Pepsi?

Me neither.

It sounds like we have a taker on this last bottle of Coke Blak. Awesome!
