I’m irrationally mad at BYU / leadership right now. Or maybe it is rational. But seriously, quit lying to us.

I believe in Utah the bottler does not add caffeine. Elsewhere, it does.

This would actually be a third-party endorsement of the whole "low demand"

Or "you can't sell that on campus unless it is caffeine free" model.
