My Andy Rooney Moment

It isn't that I'm complaining about this, but I did just notice it. Does it seem like there a LOT more bottled-drink options in convenient stores/gas stations than there were a decade ago?

It used to be that the only options were sodas, V8, Yoo-Hoo, varied fruit juices, 3 flavors of Gatorade (Green, Red and Orange) and Evian water. Now Gatorade has like 9 different flavors in the color blue alone- Frost, Mist, etc. There are like 8 different kinds of water, energy drinks galore, vitamin waters, all kinds of iced-teas, all those V8 Twisters, and Starbucks Fraps and espressos.

The four biggest losers in this phennomenon? People who make a living selling slim-waisted pants, and Mr. Pibb, Tab, and RC Cola.
