   To clarify - the *original* US round of Fruitopia spots were done by  
Kate Bush. These were later redubbed by the Coctaeu Twins in the UK.

   Fruitopia has since been "re-launched" with different flavors, less
expensive printing on the bottles, and the intentionally ironic usage
of "elevator music" for the new TV commercials.

   Oh well...it was fun while it lasted.
