This does NOT sound like one of the Kate-scored ads to my knowledge, and I've
seen four or five of the ads. Kate's scoring has no discernible words in it
whatsoever -- you have to actually READ 'this is a new-age product, drink it
and the ecosystem will be eternally...(ahem)...(gack)...(more sounds of our
ecosystem trying to retch out corn-syrup encrusted bottles labels and cans.)'
