- There is ZERO doubt in my mind that this 'BUG JUICE' rumor can trace its
- roots to the propaganda department of the Pepsi corporation. I'm sure
- these guys still get hard-ons thinking about Coke's ultra-brilliant
- marketing schemes of past years, namely the Old Coke/New Coke scam ("Gee,
- we didn't think anyone would miss the old coke!") and the Coca-Cola
- clothing scam ("YOU pay US top dollar to advertise our product!"). It's
- a shame that bug juice is the best they can come up with.
