If you are a resident of the northeastern US you're doubtless familiar with the Polar beverage co., one of New england's most iconic food companies.

Polar makes Orange Dry, which is imo the best orange soda commercially available. Think Orangina, but better. Now here's my issue: a few years ago, polar changed their labels. And now it's super fuckin easy for me to accidentally grab the diet variety, which is objectively worse. Look at this poo poo:

I agree, the labels are very similar and difficult to differentiate. I have no reason not to sign your petition.

honestly this is one of those things where sending a decent written letter would have a decent chance at getting them to change their labels. readability to consumers is something that companies tend to take pretty seriously
