When I was a kid, I don't know if you could've called me "cool". I guess I was kind of awkward, and I didn't go out of my way to fit it. I knew what cool was though, and I knew that there were those who would always be cooler than others. And when I was a kid, no one, and I mean no one, was cooler to me than Cool Spot (the mascot for 7-Up back in the late 80's/early 90's). 7-Up isn't even my favorite brand of pop, but I can't deny the Spot.
