Last year, before the start of the second season, a New York City subway car was taken over and decorated from floor to ceiling to look Mad-Men-esque. [...]

Bubbly Milk !? Coca-Cola Testing in NYC

It’s been referred to as tasting “like a birthday party for a polar bear.” That could be appropriate considering the Coca-Cola’s history of incorporating polar bears in their advertising.

Rib Tickler: Stewie & Euro See ‘n Say
