Heh. Captain Photon still misses Crey Cola. Sure, it was probably toxic, and it was definitely part of some nefarious scheme or another, but it was tasty. On the other hand, he'd have a serious philosophical problem with actually paying for it at this point, since he has a tendency not to want to give his own money to someone who has framed him for murder. :)

(I sometimes wonder if the Crey Cola thing is a reference to Crystal Pepsi, in the test marketing area of which Paragon City would've been located if it really existed. Mind you, I'm talking about actual Crystal Pepsi here, the test-market-only soda that was just Caffeine Free Pepsi without the caramel coloring. Not "Crystal from the Makers of Pepsi", the mass-market version, into which, for some unfathomable reason, the Makers of Pepsi injected lemon-lime flavoring on top of the cola flavoring, and then had the gall to be baffled when it failed spectacularly. Ugh. God. I liked Crystal Pepsi. I would routinely drive from Worcester down to Providence to buy it. CftMoP, on the other hand, was nauseating.)
