If that's what you got out of my responses then I'm so sad for your elementary
school English teacher's wasted efforts.

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.

when Barq's first came out, it had caffeine in Utah.

No, but an institution enforcing an honor code should not lie.

Agreed. But I'd probably, and truthfully, say it doesn't align with BYU's culture.

But publicly stating a different reason doesn't make them liars
