#2 is misleading. This law was passed because innocent people were being held liable for accidents (especially with rear end scammers) because they jumped out of their cars after an accident and unthinkingly said "I'm sorry." And because lawsuits would drag on in court for many years and appeals, when all the litigant really wanted was an apology. It's a very sensible law, at least one US state has passed it as well.

Number 5 is pretty much a constant in a country of fox news, trumpie voters, flat-earthers, and creationists.

re: #7

If Pepsi had bought the secrets they would have opened themselves up to the liability of being in possession of stolen goods worth an untold amount of money.Their response was the only reasonable thing to do.

Pepsi is better than Coco cola anyway😂

@Cutiebeauty, that is a matter of taste. Dr. Pepper is better than either of them.

@mcgeo52 water is better than all three..

I don't drink soda........

I personally prefer root beer, but have to order it in from abroad as there are only two brands of UK made root beer and neither do a diet version (one is okay the other tastes like shit).
A&W diet is my favourite, but works out very pricey

@Cutiebeauty, all three together would probably taste atrocious. But you are correct that water is the best choice.

@LenHazell53, sounds like an opportunity to start a beverage company. Is Dr. Pepper available in the UK?

@mcgeo52 Yes Doctor Pepper is available

@LenHazell53, you might contact the company that makes/sells Dr. Pepper there and ask them about producing a root beer.
