Spiffy Cola occupies an unusual place in the world of American soft drinks, presenting itself as a relic of the 1930s while in reality functioning primarily as a modern “retro” brand shaped by nostalgia. The label commonly cites 1934 as its origin, placing it squarely in the era when cola beverages were still regional novelties and aggressively marketed as refreshing pick-me-ups during the depths of the Great Depression.
I watched the 1984 Universal Pictures science fiction classic “Dune” on Netflix DVD. I hadn’t seen it since I went to Phipps Plaza, in Atlanta Georgia, in 1984. I wanted to watch it again before seeing the 2021 remake. It is the story of rival noble families that battle for control of the planet Arrakis, the only known source of the drug melange, also known as Spice. This Spice causes precognition, future vision, and is vital to space travel, making it the most vital commodity in the universe.
