Yep. Called it the minute they premiered the new logo. Also notice they’ve recycled the ‘new generation’ marketing ploy. This is no accident.

Snapple has already done this, as I recently discovered. Their new Organic version of their bottled tea is made with sugar. What a taste difference! So much better. They would be smart to just phase out their old HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) version, as it tastes blech by comparison.

yeah, I can't do either of those due to sensitivity. I try to stay away from fructose also but sometimes I indulge. I'm quite content to be a tea drinker, but an occasional Pepsi is a treat.

I heard that about Hershey somewhere else. But the price of the shelf sugar has gone up about 20 cents per pound in the last 3 or 4 months. I don't eat too much processed food, but I live in a corn growin’ state and know that there is a lot of emotion on both sides of that issue.

I am not much of a pop drinker, but I discovered Mexican Coke, and damn that stuff is good.
