This last week, I noticed that an imprint of a map of West Virginia
with the number 1 had appeared on the top of my can of Shasta *
diet soda.  Well, I thought it must be some promotional contest
(collect all 50 states).  Then, I had a bottle of Faygo** soda, and
lo and behold, on the bottle cap, an imprint of the state of West
Virginia with the number 1 in it!!!  Well, I've checked over all the
numerous bottles and cans of soda I drink, and all that have the
imprint have West Virginia....

So, what is this?  Is the state of West Virginia launching a
promotional campaign on the tops of soda cans and bottles?  And why
on these two brands?  Has Faygo** become a subsidiary of Shasta
without telling anyone?


*Shasta is probably a trademark of the Shasta Corp. Hayward Ca.
**Faygo is probably a trademark of Faygo Beverages, Detroit Mi.
