Brandtastic!

I (still) love Sesame Street. The latest news from the street, Elmo got a pandemic puppy named Tango. Always relevant, engaging, educational and true, to the brand.

Brandtastrophy!

Are any of Subway's ingredients real? Ireland came to the conclusion that the bread wasn't actually bread, now the Tuna is questionable. I won't even touch much on the past Subway pe*****le spokesperson. Subway says they are proud and yet they are closing all of their locations on July 19 to integrate a new Eat Fresh Refresh menu and giving away free Subs on National Fry Day?

Subway is making headlines once again by launching a website to push back against critics claiming that its tuna sandwich isn't real.

Here we go again. I'm having a flashback to April 23, 1985 when Coca-Cola introduced the "New" Coke.

Rather than altering the taste and look ever so slightly, how about switching to Stevia rather than aspartame and acesulfame to sweeten it. Now that would be newsworthy.

If you're a big fan of Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, you may want to brace yourself: The recipe for your beloved drink is changing.

Herd immunity takes effect once between 70-95 per cent of the population is fully vaccinated and I'm so encouraged to see my fellow Canadians everywhere so eager to do their part to keep their communities safe.

We the Herd!
