Soft drinks: anything that sells
The soft drink industry is in big trouble. Sugary drinks aren’t great for health, and sales are down. But this industry keeps trying.
I’m starting to collect interesting innovations. Would you believe?

- Dextrin (fiber)-infused: a zero-calorie laxative beverage (but only in Japan)
Yum?
