A bit Andy Warholish, and perhaps not the most festive, but very ingenious use of marketing to create a op pop-artish display.

Summer Pepsi Commercial Ripping off Coca Cola Bears

As I have not had much spare time on the web to find interesting or cool things and I have a teen son that has, I have decided to spend a week or so posting thing that he thinks are cool, and this spoof on the Coca Cola's polar bears with a tan to market Pepsi for summer is genius.

COOL CRAFTED COCA-COLA LAMP

This is one our own creations. We entered a Craftser challenge at Craftser.org and the theme was "Light Me Up", which involved creating a project that used some sort of light source. My son collects Coke items and needed a desk lamp, so that is how we came up with the theme for the lamp.

Here are pics of the finished lamp:
This is what we started with:

I started by making a trip to the dollar store, Goodwill and Walmart. The total cost was around $10:

- Ugly Grandma lamp with fake plastic pleated shade - $3
- Heavy Coca Cola glass ($1)
- Bag of black stones ($1)
- Bag of star shaped clear stones ($1)
- Red acrylic paint ($1)
- 25 ft. replacement cord for the lamp. ($3)
- Coke T-Shirt (my son's too small t-shirt - free)
