Any ideas how this flavor was picked (fortunately, I like Butter Pecan, but I can imagine that there are a lot of folks out there who don't care too much for it). Thanks!

Originally Posted By sjdimon I understand why there is only one flavor choice - but it sure seems to me to be an odd one. Even vanilla would make more sense (to me) as the one and only "NSA" selection. At least for beverages, if you look, you can get Diet Coke; Light Lemonade; Coke Zero; Sprite Zero; and on some of the carts even Diet Coke with Lime or Cherry Diet Coke.

If you had two vanillas, for example, there would be a lot of people served the wrong vanilla, this would mean that diabetics would get something with sugar and that would be very bad for Disney. As for why it's Butter Pecan? It's probably either the number 1 "no sugar added" seller or the worst seller, in which case they may get it at discount.

I work for a food company and we see different items to bulk retailers like Sams Club and Costco then we do to regular stores and restaurants. That's probably not the reason but it's all I could think of.
