18. In a non-biodegradable package no less

Buying something as transient as orange juice in a non-reusable package which will last forever is stupid in its own right.

So, anyone who would think twice about buying this stuff based on Coca-Cola varying their blend based on source conditions is already not doing a whole lot of thinking.

Where is there a list of all Coke products? tblue Feb 2013 #1
