OK was "developed," as they say in the business, by Coca-Cola marketing chief Sergio Zyman, the same man who'd developed the "brainwater" Fruitopia, at around the time that Kristol was making his appeal to youthful iconoclasm in the pages of Commentary.
In 1994, OK was introduced into nine strategically selected hotbeds of youth ferment, including Boston, Denver, Minneapolis/St. Paul, and of course Austin and Seattle; it was yanked from the market only a few months later.
As in all mind-control cults, for example, the manifesto forbade OK drinkers from associating with outsiders, and restricted their vocabulary to what Lifton calls "thought-terminating clichés." They were told how to think and warned that the individual's own experiences could not be understood except via the group.

 CNN.com - Calif. lawmakers OK soda ban for some schools - Aug. 22, 2003
Worrying about the health of California children, the state Assembly voted to ban soda sales to elementary school students and restrict sales of the drinks at junior high schools.
The bill wouldn't stop students from bringing sodas to school from home, or stop sodas from being sold at after- and before-school events at junior high and middle schools.
"If you think this is such a bad product I encourage you not to bring sodas on the floor and drink them on the floor, because once again you're not willing to live with the laws you create," he told his colleagues.

It’s a great issue — whether to permit the sale of sodas in vending machines at Hawaii public schools.
So far health officials have weighed in (Ban them: Sodas contribute to our kids’ obesity, hyperactivity and dental nightmares); principals (We need vending machines to supplement our funding), and students (If we can’t buy sodas on campus, we’ll go truant to buy them elsewhere).
State Health Director Bruce Anderson has flexed his muscle on the issue, suggesting that schools selling sodas might not receive their share of the $5.4 million his department has earmarked for the school system for a new program teaching healthy lifestyles.

 TIME.com: Will Teens Buy It? -- May 30, 1994 -- Page 1
But then, trashing its own claims is just part of the campaign for OK soda, a bubbly, mildly fruity drink for teenagers and young adults that Coke hopes will be its next blockbuster beverage and that the company is testing in nine cities from Boston to Seattle.
The OK campaign was fine-tuned during a year of field study that confirmed Coke's impression that the current crop of teens suffer, along with their twentysomething elders, from an acute sense of diminished expectations.
The entire strategy behind the soda is embodied in its fl-on-gray containers, which resemble post-office most-wanted pictures or underground comic strips more than typical soft-drink cans.

I was wondering if diet soda is okay or not I think that is the hardest thing for me and also i need some tips for making it quick because i am a very busy person and the prep time is very important..
Diet Soda is only permitted on this way of eating (drinking), if it is sweetened by splenda.
The bottom line is: it must be sweetened with splenda and each serving counts as 1 carb (regardless of what the can says) and it also counts toward your allowance of 3 servings of sweetener per day.
