I hope Ernestine is eligible for unemployment insurance – but what the heck is "irrevelant"?

No, PepsiCo is in no danger of going out of business – but the company has quit making Sierra Mist and introduced a new lemon-lime soda called Starry. Sierra Mist was a good name for a soda. Starry is not.

Good not really a big fan of Sierra Mist. They changed the recipe many years ago and it hasn’t taste any better. Pepsi needs to bring back and keep it permanent Crystal Clear Pepsi!

Some people say cryptocurrency is the future and a great investment. Me personally it a joke and you can easily lose the money fast.

Yeah, I saw that headline, and it seems deceptive. It makes it sound like these guys are bankrupt and financially worthless, when they're really referring to their investment in crypto only. I would guess it would've been a small portion of their portfolio.

I didn't read it like that but that they had invested heavily and that is all gone.

The headline reads:

"Tom Brady, Robert Kraft among investors set to be wiped out".

Technically Blockbuster outlasted him. I think the last Blockbuster is still open in Seattle somewhere if I recall.

There were two Blockbusters, but Netflix cancelled one and the other is in Bend, Oregon.

Yea, but not everyone wants to click on a link these days. It’s easier to give the direct answer in a simple post.

You sound like one of our program managers where I work.

I bet that video store has a bunch of movies you can't find on streaming. The last time I made a list of movies I want to see (or see again), less than 10% were on streaming services. I've found a handful of them on DVD and now own them.
