And I'm very curious to see, does that mean diet Dr. Pepper? Does that mean zero Coke? What does that mean? We've spoken to a lot of grocery stores as well, small mom and pop, and it just seems like it's also going to be hard at the checkout counter for people.

So I think we will see also some not Republican states. I mean, Arkansas is pretty deep red, but I think we'll see other states kind of want to do this as well.
