Souper.
This is a story about America, its past, present, and what's to come. I am an American Studies major who is currently abroad in the UK, and I am more curious about what it means to be an American now more than ever. This is a collection of bits and pieces of the American identity and culture found both in and outside of the US. So, who the hell are the Americans? How are we represented abroad? There's way too much out there to analyze, but here is a small sampling of what's on my mind. Go crack open a can of Coke and enjoy, or at least contemplate the answers with me. Anyone can do it:
"A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it."
-Andy Warhol
