NEW YORK (AP) -- The nation's largest beverage distributors have agreed to halt nearly all soda sales to public schools, according to a deal announced Wednesday by the William J. Clinton Foundation.
Under the agreement, the companies have agreed to sell only water, unsweetened juice and low-fat milks to elementary and middle schools, said Jay Carson, a spokesman for former President Bill Clinton. Diet sodas would be sold only to high schools.
Cadbury Schweppes PLC, Coca-Cola Co., PepsiCo Inc. and the American Beverage Association have all signed onto the deal, Carson said, adding that the companies serve "the vast majority of schools." The American Beverage Association represents the majority of school vending bottlers."
Yep. TheLoons want TOTAL control, and will stand for nothing less. So what does this mean? It means that local vendors of the real deal will be selling, gasp, SODA, around public schools, and at inflated prices due to this strange thing called Supply and Demand.
Blackmarket Coke just took on a new meaning.
