Babe what's wrong? Everyone else is clean and ready to leave the beach and you haven't rinsed off in the Sprite^TM^ soda fountain shower

To the marketing guru who thought to associate Sprite with warm bathing water, I salute your protracted PR war against the brand equity of Coca Cola products (though as a counterpoint, I guess this did work for Belle Delphine...)

You should still follow the life advice that Bill Hicks offered for public relations goons tho.

Sprite is a Coca-Cola product. It even says so on the can.

I must have been a bit unclear in my wording.

My phrasing was just to avoid saying Sprite over and over again which would have made what I said sound less punchy but I guess in doing so I made the meaning a bit muddled; I want more people to associate Coca Cola brands with warm bathwater if it will cause harm to that particularly awful example of a company.
