This product was marketed directly at me - and I totally took the bait.
Natural you say?  Made with just sparkling water, sugar and kola nut extract?  SOLD!  I feel (marginally) better because I knew I was being duped as it was happening, but I hardly thought twice about buying this product (in a convenient pack of 4).  I’m not a huge soda drinker, I have a couple each week (soon to be fewer since I won’t have access to a stocked production office) but I am a sucker for “natural” alternatives to things that are horrible for you.  I would absolutely purchase an “all-natural” Twinkie.  (In fact, someone please make that happen because I want it!)  I am also totally fascinated with successful marketing schemes - it’s all psychology and it’s amazing - even though it consistently lightens my wallet.  I still prefer Mexican Coke to this Pepsi Natural, and I don’t like the new Pepsi logo (all I can think of is the KoreanAir logo), but the packaging is beautiful and I feel happy that I’ve satisfied my curiosity.
P.S. - Eventually I’ll try to take photos of things other than animals, buildings, soda, puzzles and plants and expand this blog’s repertoire.  My camera is too good for the retarded crap I make it photograph.
