@Vidlivs I disagree...it seems to me (a Mom with 3 kids) that everyone I know has their kids in at least two extracurricular activities each at one time. These days there is more competition on being in the better sport, rep sport, higher level. When I was a kid, we just played soccer and it was FUN! I think we are just so much more hyperfocussed on how much time are kids are doing this or that. No one cared if we played video games as kids!
@LLB9977 Don't forget Appia, man, there was some serious competition delivering pop on Saturday mornings back in the 70's. With all the pop that was bought and consumed by families with all that sugar in em, it's a wonder we're still alive. But, then again, we were much more active as kids back then, than kids are today. We'd run home after school so we could play street hockey. Today kids are chauffered to and from school and then sit on their ass playing video games between school and bedtime.
The Pop Shoppe should bring Eddie Shack back as spokesman now that they're back in the soda pop business. He's got a nose for value and that's a whole lot of value.
You can now get the Pop Shoppe at Zellers. It's not as good as the original Pop Shoppe. The Pop Shoppe should be sold in specialty outlets. It was made that way.

Sure Eddie. I'll just have a soda water...and whiskey!
I think the cream soda kid sounds a bit fruity.
Great old add from my youth. If my dad was still alive he'd get a kick out of this.

@TOWERKING98 Yes he did. It was in Guelph, up on Woodlawn Road.
