I drink way more A&W Diet than I do real beer.

Got enough crystals, thank you. Druther go to Arkansas and try for real
diamonds. But, that's not likely any time soon.

 RH> Probably the same way for products like Coke, pepsi and other drinks.

Most soft drink companies licence their product and recipe - the breweries
maintain ownership (and profits).

 RH> A techno-geek's love of machinery in motion--he'd really enjoy that.

There's a bit of Rube Goldberg in all of us.
