	The 80's was a joyous time, full of life and energy; a simple commerical can tell a lot about a period of time. In early '90's, 7-up brought to consumers the cool, new "Spot" advertisement characters. They were basically only bottlecaps with arms and legs sporting dark sunglasses- but their image was that of a strong, hip kind. Whereas, from Kraft foods, the Kool-Aid Man was still an ongoing walking ad for the popular fruit drinks- and still with the Barry White overtone. These "cool image" advertisement ploys had attitudes, no doubt, but which held out the longest and most successful of the two?
The answer to that question would be Kool- Aid Man. People have brought him into their lives for years and the craze, although not as hot as before, is still going relatively strong. However his character has been downsized from a maniac that unexpectedly crashes through walls to a now generally hip calmly guy. And there are still people up to this day people that continue to collect proofs of purchases to save up for useless crap like bendable figurines. Marketing genius! Spot, on the other hand, wasn't as lucky. He starred in his own two video games- a puzzle game on the NES and an adventure title on the SNES- but fare over these cool guys cooled off mid-90's.

	Who would be the champion in a fight to the death? None of them! We're talking about a bottle cap and a pitcher of fruit punch, you crazy dumbhead Americanic pee-pee doofus of idiocy that plagues the modern world!
