Today the PR department at Schweppes must be asking "Why did they have to specify a brand at all? What difference could it make what brand of soft drink can they used?"
Meanwhile, with their unerring instinct for extrapolating the wrong conclusion, airport and airline staff all over the world are now adding "was seen drinking Schweppes" to their list of suspicious activities for potential terror suspects.

I immediately thought, no more soda on airlines after this. No shoes, no soda, no flight (soup) for you!
