RE: Have a Coke and A Smile! Jeff Gordon races for the win in 1995.

That's pretty crazy that they were just left there. I would definitely try one. lol

Fun story, not all people like Jeff Gordon. I was in a Pilot truck stop in Ohio in probably 1999 and they had a stack of Jeff Gordon energy drinks in the middle of the floor $12 for a 12 pack. This was when Monster Energy was pretty new and they were about $3 each. I was long haul trucking and drank a lot of that poison at the time so I bought a case and asked the guy what was wrong with them to be so cheap. Three people said that it was because they were Jeff Gordon's so nobody would buy them.

I went out to my truck and tried one and they were the exact same as Monster, so I went back in and bought 9 more cases. I just about gave myself a heart attack every day for a couple of months because they were cheaper than water. They also used to market those energy drinks as natural health products.

        I never really understood why he was so disliked. I think it was that he won against the established lineage of racing. I drank one of the cokes. It was flat and really sweet. So far, none have sold, so the cokes might be like the Monster drinks. Maybe no one is collecting them! We scrapped a projection TV the other day. That was fun. There's a huge mirror in them and we want to use the lens for some science projects.

              I love those fresnel lenses. It's amazing how much heat they can produce.
