PEPSI: DRINK UP! DRINK UP!

I wonder how many bottles/cans of 'soda' I have drank in my life time?

Probably too damn many.

****Diet Pepsi 'Skinny' Can Sparks Controversy!
('Taller, Sassier' Version Of Traditional Can Unveiled For Fashion Week.)

Diet Pepsi has introduced a new "skinny" can for Fashion Week, but some critics are giving it a big, fat "no."

The can is a "taller, sassier" version of the traditional can that the company says was made in "celebration of beautiful, confident women." Pepsi's equating of "skinny" and "beautiful" and "confident" is drawing criticism.

PepsiCo Inc. presented the new can at New York's Fashion Week, which began Thursday. It will be available to consumers nationwide in March.

The company, a Fashion Week sponsor, is hosting a series of events to launch the new can, include collaborations with popular designers such as Charlotte Ronson and Betsey Johnson.

which has no sodium.

Problem solved.
