BRAD'S DRINK
According to the current issue of Mental Floss, the original name of Pepsi Cola was Brad's Drink. It's amazing -- the lengths that Pepsico has gone to avoid paying royalties to me.

The truth is that I do drink a lot of soda (not much on coffee or tea) -- almost exclusively diet, caffeine-free cola. I don't mind either the Coca-Cola or the Pepsi-Cola versions but my preference is Safeway Select. I don't know why. It just tastes better. Please don't send me mail telling me that artificial sweeteners are the downfall of western civilization, the cause of my mental deterioration, or that there is nothing to diet caffeine-free cola other than food coloring and water. I already know these things. It's just that it's Brad's Drink.
