How were the negotiations with Honest Tea in Australia?

From her side it sounds like Coca-Cola got nasty. Is showing up with a bigger pie slicer a good tactic.

Is advertising as "less sweet" part of the negotiation you make with customers to convince them them 25g of sugar is healthy?

It is very interesting how the story is portrayed in the media. It is very much a case of the little entity standing up to the big American bully.

My personal feeling is that it was in fact a bad faith registration by the company in Australia (where there is a pattern th3..) but mistakes were made at the early stages. It is not surprising you were annoyed.

That being said, there seems to be a lack of arbitration and negotiation in the attempts to resolve things though by Coke. Again, maybe the truth is hidden behind the media.

I brew my own tea and I like things a tad less than 6 teaspoons sweet ... but the Peach tea is good 😜

Similar to the argument about splitting the difference: less than an arbitrary lot is just an arbitrary amount less.

I note that some Honest Teas have 25 grams of sugar in 16.9 ounces.

Thank you.
