Making Lincoln removable just strikes me as a poor design decision.
In 1982, 7Up took a big swing by jumping into the Cola Wars with their caffeine-free, Like Cola. Battling caffeine-free options from Coke and Pepsi, Like would last a decade. Today I take a look at the Rise and Fall of Like Cola. retroist.com/p/the-rise-and…
43 years ago this week, the single “Eye Of The Tiger” by Survivor from the “Rocky III” soundtrack started a 6-week run at the top of the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. The punchy song not only dominated the radio airwaves, but MTV, and album sales too.

I don't drink much diet soda, but couldn't resist the Diet Cherry Coke that's back on the shelves this summer.
On an all new episode of the Retroist Podcast I talk about the first successful sequel to a blockbuster movie, Jaws 2. A commercial success, Jaws 2 might not have been as well-reviewed at the time, but over the years has developed a fanbase of its own. retroist.com/p/retroist-jaw…
