When I order spiritous liquors, I never order a brand
(as in Old Grand Dad Manhattan straight up), just 
bourbon Manhattan straight up.  I never imagine that
I'll get the branded products in the typical bar.  And
have you ever noticed that the bottle of Heinz
ketchup that comes with you fries is always full?
Somebody has a side job of putting Hunt's or generic ketchup
in the bottle I believe.


 It's bad for a business to piss off it's

Does that apply to "Depends"?
