I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… you guys get all the cool marketing & food/drink products and the U.S. just keeps getting the bland and retreaded choices. I find it exciting when “new” hits the grocery shelves instead of “boring” being the continuum.
I don’t drink soda at all anymore… just bottled spring water, orange juice, (some) gatorade. Keep on Rockin’ over there and thanks for sharing what’s new all the time too.
