Neat, an update on the aforementioned Bolthouse Farms Ban:

The "Don't Buy Bolthouse" campaign ended because the company's chief executive "has provided us with a compelling perspective which clearly demonstrates the separation between Bolthouse Farms and . . . its founder, William Bolthouse," Californians Against Hate said Wednesday in a written statement. That perspective, the statement continued, "provides us with confidence that Bolthouse Farms is committed to working productively with the [lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender] community."

The new-ish, flat, streamlined, no bevel/sweatdrop/3D/lensflare/whatever Coke can designs clean up at Cannes. In other news: They give out awards for can designs now, I guess?

Possible cure for the common cold: Hot Coke with ginger. I will definitely make this the next time I'm under the weather. Here's a pic. [Via superlocal]

Leche de Pantera: a drink of milk, gin, rum, Cointreau, peppermint and cinnamon, served from some sort of stalacTEAT. If I didn't know better I would swear Josh invented this. [Thanks, E!]

I need a soda train in my house, ASAP. I would update this site much more frequently if a train was constantly bringing me new beverages to try.
