    this was a great product but is was test marketed in a bad area in the northeast. If you want it to sell good they needed to test it in the south. Most people in the north don't know what good soda is.

    I think the prototype lable is very appealing. Some art work gets too busy to the point of confusion. KISS....(Keep It Simple Stupid).

    I like the prototype logo better as well. If you notice most of the beverage graphics from the 90s were full of clutter and grungy looking.

    I'm not sayting all of them were bad but towards the late 90s the graphics the beverage companies were using really bad!
