I mean, marketing is bullshit, so I don't blame people for not caring about product names.

I've had "fire hot" and "thermonuclear" hot sauces that were barely hot.

I've had "unlimited" data plans that were limited.

I've had cereal that's "part of a balanced breakfast", but only if you eat half a dry cup in skim milk with no other sugar in your meal.

People are used to marketing lying to them about everything. Not saying they shouldn't pay attention, but not gonna blame them for assuming the name of a drink is just bullshit.
