Obv., brigading is completely wrong and evil and I would never support or countenance such a thing, and Epstein probably did it a lot, but over on that link there's a question about non American sodas.

Just putting it out there.

People will read it or not.

People will react or not.

We all have agency.

AG Barr are better than Coca Cola and Pepsi but they're still a for profit FTSE 250 company making millions of £ a year at the expense of our health. They can do their own marketing.

After they sold out and changed the recipe, Irn-Bru can get in the bin, as far as I'm concerned. Coca-Cola are the only ones that wouldn't fuck with their taste (presumably after the PR nightmare if classic coke in the 80s). Even pepsi has folded.

Of course most people don't give a shit, but I'm one of the smaller percentage of folk that taste certain sweetners as bitter, so basically all bar a few soft drinks now taste like perfumed paracetamol to me and my gang of genetically weird (I'd argue superior!) odd balls.

So yeah, Trump and his deluded cult can fuck off, but I'm sticking with coke.
