Pepsi To Admit That Aquafina Is Tap Water
Aquafina will soon feature the words “Public Water Source” on its labels. [Thx, Phyllis!]

I’ve been hearing rumors that Mountain Dew is going to start selling Baja Blast in 20 oz bottles. Like in actual stores, instead of just at Taco Bell. Anyone seen any actual news or press releases about this? If it’s true, you know it’s 100% because of this website and the passion of its commenters. [...]
Article about an annoying guy trying to position another annoying coconut water beverage as miracle health elixir. K4T has already alerted the internet to how much we don’t like Zico, so this guy has no chance. [Thanks, Balg.]
K4T-ers– I am going to be in Virginia Beach, VA in a few weeks, so I was wondering if anyone from that area has some ideas about local beverage flava (stuff that I can’t get everywhere else) that I should try to soak up while I’m there? Y/n?
Budweiser and Clamato: La combinacion perfecta? Holy jumping jesus. These are the end times.
Great article in Fast Company about the history of bottled water, its environmental footprint, and how it compares to tap water. I always feel guilty when I buy bottled water, which is kind of weird. Shouldn’t I feel more guilty about buying soda? Morally complex times, up in here.
A follow-up on Buzz Cola: K4T man-about-town Chris DYFL reports: “I drank a Buzz Cola from “Kwik-E-Mart” today (the one on 42nd St in NYC), and it tastes like a generic cola — I’d liken it to the Sam’s Cola or whatever the hell it is that they sell in vending machines in front of [...]
As part of the Simpson’s movie marketing extravaganza, some 7-11’s became Kwik-E-Marts over the weekend. I’m curious to know what the Buzz Cola really is, if it’s Pepsi or Coke or something specially formulated or what. Someone go research this for me, please.
Kind of gross. They make it sound like Red Bull isn’t even vegetarian, but I’m fairly sure inositol is generally born in test tubes. Any scientists out there know what the deal is? Do any smart people ever read this site?
Great article on the latest Coke redesign. “Compared with Pepsi’s blow-it-all-out how-many-designs-can-we-produce-in-a-summer strategy, this takes guts.”
