Good Thing It Was Not Jolt

Here is the text from an Instant Messaging conversation I had this morning with a co-worker. It’s about something of great importance.
flasshe: Have you gotten a Diet Pepsi today?
dmr: Yeah, why?
flasshe: Did it come in the SuperBowl can?
dmr: Yeah. Can I win $1 million, or something?
flasshe: At first I thought it gave me a real Pepsi until I read the can.
flasshe: But the weird thing is…
dmr: That’s exactly what I did!
flasshe: It actually *tastes* like real Pepsi to me!
dmr: It’s all in your head, man!
flasshe: Maybe… but head is a weird place.
dmr: Well, your head….
flasshe: “my head”
flasshe: So I’m imagining it?
dmr: You could be imagining this conversation.
flasshe: My life is empty, but not *that* empty.
flasshe: At least we can agree that it was a mistake to make the color of the diet cans be too much like the color of the regular cans, right?
dmr: Absolutely. It was really embarrasing after I threw a screaming hissy fit in the break room, cursing PepsiCo at the top of my lungs, and then looked closer and noticed that it really was diet!
flasshe: I did the same thing! Good thing no one else was in there at the time.
dmr: At least you didn’t spike the can off the floor!
flasshe: Yeah, that’s a real danger with that football lace design on there. I’m surprised there aren’t more accidents.
Latre.

Not really, since I changed it for the entry. Plus, it was on the company’s internal IM system.
