The Iceberg

Not a very good start to the season for the Yeosu Crack Addicts. My starting quarterback, Trent Green, was knocked out of the game (and likely the next couple of weeks) with a concussion after scoring only one point. My receivers, Chris Chambers and Javon Walker, had subpar games - largely due to crappy play by their QBs. And one of my running backs, Carnell Williams, was stymied by back spasms and the Baltimore defense. The result: a 52-69 loss to the Busan Power Outage.

Week 2 opponent: Mungyeong Fighting Yangbans. The Addicts should be able to get in the win column.

The Korea Herald reports that Oriental Brewery Co. (OB) plans to increase the size of it’s jumbo-sized plastic bottles of beer from 1.6 liters to 1.8 without raising the price.

“Merely cutting prices won’t benefit the customers much,” said OB executive Kim Joon-young in a statement. “Offering larger volumes without changing the price is the only way to substantially benefit them.”

Well put. Obviously the decision was made with this customer in mind.
