Hmm, not bad. So, where can I get it?


Pretty clever...



Um, what?



Yeah, I think I'll just get some water instead....

A local businessman came up with idea of them. Apparently he grew tired of his friends answering, "anything" or "whatever" when asked what they'd like to drink. He decided to produce and market drinks with those names.

I don't know about the multiple flavours though. Here there are only two flavours and one is fizzy, the other isn't.

I've tried the fizzy one and I can't say that it tasted like anything all that great.

That must be a new campaign though, because I haven't seen them around yet. I'd say those shots are from around town, mostly because the signs look right and are in English.

And those are pretty racy dispensers for these parts.

reminds me of the long distance phone company called, "I Don't Care" which picked up a good percentage from the AT&T/Sprint/MCI wars...

That tripped my bullshit-o-meter, so I decided to investigate.

Despite my best google-fu, I was unable to turn up very much regarding this supposed company. The best I was able to find was a few different news articles posted to blogs and mailing lists (supposedly attributed to AP or the Houston Chronicle) that claimed this legitimate business enterprise originated in Texas (one lone dissenter claimed Florida) and was scamming good hard-working folks out of their money by charging more than competitive services and hooking any customers who said they didn't care which service they used on a pay phone. Of course none of the blogs/mailing lists provided links, although a couple did offer that it was all done through the also vaguely deceptively named KT&T Communications, which was owned by a fellow named Dennis Dees. Further searching on either the man or the business turned up nothing meaningful.

Interestingly, the Houston Chronicle article does appear to be legitimate (in that it was in fact printed), although that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Associated Press had nothing in their archives, which also may or may not be significant.

I'm still calling shenanigans based on common sense. Seems to me that if an operator were told by a customer that he 'didn't care' that operator would be most likely to clarify whether the customer meant the company or simply that he truly didn't care what service was used. That would scuttle the whole thing right out of the gate.

It just sounds too much like one of those 'this could happen to you' stories that get circulated but never actually happen.

The soda is clever, though.

Agreed. Should be like a tastier version of Bert's Every Flavour Beans.

So .... is it confirmed that this isn't an art project or hoax?

Charlatan

It's for real. I will see if I can find these around town and take pictures if you'd like.
