Fortunately, the 5/8" plastic 'hook' got got on my lip before entering my mouth. I'm glad I didn't swallow it. Pepsico really blew it on the new bottle design and quality control. I will be calling Pepsico Monday morning to tell them of my experience.

That being said, making something quick and inexpensive at home is almost always a greener choice than resorting to fast food or something completely processed. Green can be a little bit grey now and then. The purpose of this recipe is convenience and economy.

The situation is most marked in the USA, where Canadean is forecasting annual growth of under 1% for the next five years. This is a significant deceleration from the double-digit rates seen from 2000 to 2008, and has major implications for the PET plastics industry, in particular.
