@cabel @Frosty Similar question — what Famicom cartridges are you proudly displaying there?

@cabel My employer has a downtown Portland office and a budget for speakers. Let’s make this happen.

@cabel Was this talk in prep of Panic introducing a new “OK Coda” text editor?

@cabel I still miss OK, though I can't quite tell if it's ironically so or totally heartfelt. Same for Tab Clear.

@cabel TIL about “OK” Soda. And regardless of the beverage, I love the copywriting!

It’s just… OK.

@cabel At first I thought that was a riff on a self portrait by the singer Peter Himmelman. E.g.

As a bonus please enjoy some “OK” Soda copywriting from my collection. Kaleigh here at Panic made a big connection for me when she said “this copy reminds me of copy you would write” and it’s possible that “OK” Soda was a big influence in my life?!

COINCIDENCE #7 IN AN UNIDENTIFIED AMERICAN CITY, LARRY E DRANK THREE CANS OF "OK" AND DISCOVERED, MUCH TO HIS SURPRISE, THAT HE WAS NOW ABLE TO SEE THROUGH THREE DIMENSIONAL OBJECTS, INCLUDING CATS, CHAIRS, AND DRESSES. ALSO, HIS SENSE OF SMELL BECAME SO ACUTE THAT HE COULD TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FIVE AND TEN DOLLAR BILL BY THE ODOR ALONE. THESE PERSONAL ABILITIES BEAR NO CONNECTION TO "OK”. PLEASE CONTINUE TO DRINK "OK" FOR THE TASTE, ETC. AND FOCUS ON THE THOUGHT THAT THINGS ARE GOING ТО ВЕ О7™
COINCIDENCE #14 THE NIGHT HE FIRST TRIED "OK" SODA, RICK B. OF AURORA, COLORADO PUT A FULL CAN UNDER HIS PILLOW AND WENT TO SLEEP. HE DREAMED HE WAS CRAWLING THROUGH AN ENDLESS GRAVEL PIT, PARCHED WITH THIRST. WHEN HE AWOKE, HIS THIRST HAD DISAPPEARED, AND HE FELT STRANGELY SATISFIED. NOTE: THE CAN OF "OK," STILL UNOPENED, WAS EMPTY. THIS IS ONLY A COINCIDENCE.

@cabel I always love when “OK” Soda pops up somewhere. This came out at a formative time for me and I still have a bunch of (empty) OK cans from the 90s.

@cabel This can of Tony Hawk “OK” Soda was one of my favorite things at the Coca-Cola experience in Atlanta, which I still think about fairly often and it’s been 9 years.

@cabel in Canada we had a campaign like the image below in early 00s. Same same but different?

@cabel it absolutely was a big influence on me

@cabel I had never heard of this - it’s amazing. Jones soda must have rushed into the vacuum left behind

@cabel I love the quotes on “beverage”!
