...million, accounting for 7% of the soft-drink market. Some 400 plants are bottling artificially sweetened* drinks that have 1 to 3 calories a glass instead of the usual 60. This year, for example, Coca-Cola has launched "Tab" cola and Pepsi-Cola has introduced its "Patio" family of five different flavors. Both companies report that the low-calorie beverages have not cut sales of the con ventional colas; instead they have lured customers who seldom before bought soft drinks.

It will be a find found in the little store tucked away at the end of the crooked street. But it may seem less of a find back home.
