Well, today I tried the newest (or one of the newest) flavor of the drink Kate did music for the ads for. They're getting better, but they still don't get it. I tried their Raspberry Ice Tea (That's what they call it! No stupid name!) and it's as if someone took a bottle of Snapple Raspberry Ice Tea and added a cup of sugar. At least they're getting honest - it's clearly labeled "Contains no real fruit juice" and has no fake-looking "sediment" (as opposed to their other stuff which gives a whole new meaning to the term "pulp fiction"). The packaging is different than the other Fruitopias - still "kinda trippy", but now more "postmodern" (whatever that means). Still little saying all over it, but at least not as cynically crassly commercial like the other flavors of Fruitopia. Stev0's advice - but some Arizona brand Ice Tea, and if you wanna listen to Kate Music on teevee, put on your Live at Hammersmith Odeon tape one more time. - Stev0 the thirsty "With a name like Exon, it HAS to be evil!"
