Does the Queesn's speech over the radio sound VERY much like the classic
'Help me Obi Wan Kenobi' from Star Wars? Wonder if Lucas is ripping
himself of this time 'round???

So that's why!! I was wondering why Ronald McDonald, the Burger King, and
the A&W Root Bear weren't invited along!! LOL...

Back at home in San Francisco it was not unusual to go to a KFC and get some
wedgie fries with your nachos bell grande...if you go out to pacifica (near
san fran) there's a huge place out there with a KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut
all under one roof. People used to laugh about it, but they've all come to
appreciate it! :)

Well, actually, it's a cross-promotion for the Star Wars game. I just went
to Taco Bell today and received an instant winner token for a 2 liter (or
2 dine-in beverages) of Pepsi at Pizza Hut or a Regular Nachos at Taco
Bell.

Actually Pepsi-co Owned all three restuarantes until just recently
when they sold out to Ameri-serve. Ameri-serve was owned by Pepsi but
Pepsi needed more cash to compete with my favorite company Coca-Cola.
Just thought I would throw in my two cents on the subject. I work for
Coca-Cola. But the commercial is very good.

What??? PepsiCo owned all three restaurants and spun them off as Tricon
Global (ticker symbol YUM). Tricon was not sold at all; it was spun off in
an IPO. Tricon's more than doubled in price since the spin-off. I've owned
PepsiCo for 20 years, and I've never heard of Ameri-Serve. Pepsi didn't
need more cash to compete, but they divested in order to focus (as seen by
their recent spin-off of bottling operations as Coca-Cola did a while
back). I'm not trying to be argumentative at all, and I apologize for the
off-topic response, but I wanted to clarify.
