Response to Cigarette Flavor Names

I personally think that the old school cigarettes look cooler, and are vintage, that's why we may think that they are better. I personally don't smoke, but I would  be the type to collect old posters of cigarettes, just because they look cool/

Response to BlockBuster VS Netflix

http://alliemarieray.blogspot.com/
Do you think Blockbuster gave up when Netflix was invented? Do you think they could have come out with some type of new product or marketing tool to stay in competition?

I think that Blockbuster tried to stay afloat when Netflix came out, by trying to have order online DVDs. But yes, there did come a point in which they did just give up. 
In this small town of Keene there were two video stores, one was Blockbuster, and the other was a locally owned store. When Blockbuster did go out of business, I was thankful that it was BB and not the other store. It just shows that we should shop locally, and it will bennefit the community around us when we do. 
I think that it was fair for BB to get out of the market, and Im not sure if there was anything they could have done to stay in business.
