followed by a response that went something like this...
"Wow this should work. Everyone always wanted Cucumber flavored soda. You should get a raise for this brilliant idea."

3 months later another meeting is called...
The President of the company comes in and says...
"Well this idea flopped as badly as [fill in blank]. Any other brilliant ideas?
Same guy who came up with first idea says...
"I can't believe this didn't work. But now I have an idea that is guaranteed to work."
[Everyone in the room looks excited to hear his brilliant idea]
"Now we all know everyone's favorite food is broccoli so why not make broccoli flavored soda. According to my estimates, it will triple our profits."
Then the president says...
"What a brilliant idea. Why couldn't you come up with this the first time. I can't belive I didn't come up with that myself. You get a promotion to vice-president."
