Or she was contacted _before_ the release of TRS (we all know how slowly
KaTe works...) and she was offered a truckload of money to incorporate the
fruit in the sleeve design, thus creating a possible market of all
Kate-Lovers worldwide.
I know, highly unlikely, yet very amusing if you like complot-theories... :-)

Fruitopia is still well out of sight in The Netherlands. Moreover, I have
been searching for Fruitopia in London when I was there last July, but it
wasn't available anywhere.
I expect we (the Dutch) will have to wait at least until next year. I can't
think of many (soft)drinks being introduced in the winter. And usually it
takes Coca-Cola years to introduce a new drink after they did it in the US.
That's BTW why we didn't have to deal with the "ALL NEW Coca-cola" crap a
couple of years ago.

I am getting a bit curious how Fruitopia tastes, after seeing those
delightful commercials.... (Probably a letdown, huh?)
