Since we are talking about Coke and Pepsi...

A number of years ago I treated the president of one of the big bottling companies here in Philadelphia, I’ll leave it to you to guess which one. You have a 50% chance of being correct. I mentioned to him that I saw a brand of water in the store and took a look at the small print and it said it was bottled by his company. So I said to him, so I see you’re in the water business now.

His response was: we have ALWAYS been in the water business. The fact that there’s a squirt of sugary or non-sugary syrup in it is almost irrelevant to the process.

It was an “Aha!” moment for me.

I tried the dark roast one and it was pretty good.

Problem for me is that it is 2 bucks per can.

So much stuff is massively overpriced these days.
