Agree with the point. In fact, I should've said, more
clearly, that given the
changing identities of products, one can't just drop the name
in, without
some descriptive or identifying context. The product is woven
into a
fictional world.
Apart from that, I didn't do a very good job in setting up
the Dr. Pepper
reference either. In certain parts of the South, they would
actually warm
up Dr. Pepper, drink it like hot chocolate. Didn't mean to
imply a room
temperature drink.
Probably have run this thread into the ground (to switch
metaphors in
midflight)...
Dunno about the rest of you, but I actually plan to start
saying a thing or
two about the Chandler stories in "Simple Art..." Hope we can
get some
discussion going!
