Completely disagree. Summer is my favorite season and would remain so in the complete absence of PR.

This post reminds me of a friend in the ad business who told me people only think iced drinks taste better because in the early 1900s some advertising genius created a campaign to convince people of that. No, sorry, cold drinks are more refreshing. The ancient Romans thought so too, and used to haul ice down from the Alps, centuries before the advertising industry even existed.

You don't need refreshing if you're not already overheated.
