Bubble-up on Mars

So, by the end of the day I'll have the first new Science Chaser in about two years up, and the rest of the week will see me putting together another three while I try to get this thing to a radio near you.

But in the meantime, here's a strange radio ad promoting pop on Mars.

Started in 1917, Bubble up was one of the first pop companies around selling lemon lime fizzy drinks. And that includes all those space cadets in the fifties and sixties who believed that they'd be the next Commando Cody, Buck Rogers or Flash Gordon.

Now I think the only beverage companies that use space as a sales gimmick are beer companies, and I that hasn't been for a long time.
