ORLANDO, Fla. – First things first: We go through Epcot security, where they paw through our bags to make sure we don’t spoil anyone’s day with bombs or pistols, then we juke around the enormous faceted sphere that symbolizes Progress, or something. Straight up toward the fountain, around to the right, and huzzah: free Coke. All you can drink. It’s the World of Coke attraction, with flavors from around the globe. I pour a glass of Beverly, an Italian drink described by most people as a remarkably undrinkable abomination, and give it to my daughter. She refuses it. I drink it off and have another, daring all to marvel: See the man who willingly drinks Beverly.
