Sturgeon’s Law

Ninety per­cent of every­thing is crap.


Derived from a quote by sci­ence fic­tion author Theodore Stur­geon, who once said, “Sure, 90% of sci­ence fic­tion is crud. That’s because 90% of every­thing is crud.” Oddly, when Sturgeon’s Law is cited, the final word is almost invari­ably changed to ‘crap’.

Isn’t That Kind Of Redundant?

We did out weekly gro­cery shop­ping this after­noon (top down, woot, first time is has gone down in over a week) and it was time to stock up on my favorite elixir, Diet Dr. Pep­per. As I picked up a twelve pack I noticed a box right next to it that said Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pep­per, a strange impulse came over me so I bought one of those too. I sure hope I liked the taste or I don’t know what the heck I was going to do with the other 11 cans.

As we are check­ing out the kid bag­ging asks, “Is this any good?” while point­ing at the cherry vanilla ver­sion. My response was, “I don’t know, but I will in a cou­ple of hours.”

It has been a cou­ple of hours and if that kid is read­ing this, “It ain’t bad.” I’ll have to wait until I’ve tasted a few more before I decide if I buy it again… Trou­ble is that it doesn’t seem wildly dif­fer­ent from reg­u­lar Diet Dr. Pep­per. Come to think of it, if you tried to describe the taste of Dr. Pep­per, you might just use the words cherry & vanilla already. So isn’t this new soda fla­vor kind of redundant.

Started up, went down, still down.
