Thanks! Someone mentioned to me that to place bottled water in stores, "slotting fees" must be paid whereas "slotting fees" are not allowed to be charged for alcoholic beverages. Is this true?

NPR did a story like that, but much more PC, a while back. However, they had a bottle of water sold in Hollywood for $55 per bottle and put it up against drinking fountain water at Central Park - the results were the same, people didn't know what the difference was. I will say this. I was at a Sacramento Kings game several years ago, and the $9 glass of Bud was exception - super hoppy, with intense malty sweetness. Too bad they can't make a beer like that in six-packs. Stan, that’s one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while. NPR did a story like that, but much more PC, a while back.
