You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coke, Liz Taylor drinks Coke, and just think, you can drink Coke, too. A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it.

Unless he, too, chose to spend like a buck thirty for a 12oz bottle of the Good Stuff at a store that has it instead of two bucks for a 20oz bottle of the corn syrup.
