Okay, what color

Everyone's talking about it. What color is that? Yellow? Green?

No, this is not about what color was Michelle Obama's dress at the inauguration (shown here in an Associated Press photo by Doug Mills).

What this is about, of course, is this: What color is Gatorade?

By that, I mean lemon-lime Gatorade. To those of us who can remember when there was only one flavor of Gatorade, when we just say Gatorade, we mean the lemon-lime flavor.

What color is it? I have never, ever thought it to be anything other than green. As it turns out, I might be in the minority on this. It seems that some people, a lot of people, think it's yellow.

I'll grant that it isn't entirely green. But isn't it closer to green than yellow? To me, a Post-It note is yellow. The phone book is yellow. Lemon-lime Gatorade? Not yellow. Green.

Here and there on the Internet, there is great debate about this. Some surmise that men usually see it as green, and women see it as yellow. Interesting. My theory is that younger people also call it yellow, because they've grown up in a world where there are so many colors of Gatorade. They don't know how lucky they are.

Anyway, lemon-lime Gatorade is green. I will never believe it is anything but green. And I don't like their new ad campaign at all. What is G? Well, I don't know. I know what Gatorade is. I've known its lightning bolt logo for quite some time. But I don't know what G is.

Hey, it worked for BK. But G? My guess is that Gatorade is setting us up for an attempt at a dramatic advertising campaign during the Super Bowl. I'm already unimpressed. What ever happened to Bud Bowl anyway?

By the way, I predict Arizona wins 28-24. And just in case there is surprise renewal of a classic ad campaign, I predict Bud Light wins 36-35 as Bud Dry runs in a two-point conversion to end the game.

OK, on to some grub stuff. I know I've glowed about the Waffle House before, but I just have to mention again how great it is they're open 24 hours. Had another fine late-night breakfast there recently. Someday, McDonald's will wake up and serve breakfast all day.

Along this note, Golden Castle on Concord Pike is another great stop for late-night breakfast. It was only french toast and bacon, but once again the service, just like at Waffle House was friendly, fast and efficient.
