A missing product?

Last weekend I went to a Marc Canter's birthday party, it was great, but it would have been even better if they had my favorite soft drink.  

I know what the host likes, it's good stuff, but I prefer a little artificial sweetness and bubbles. These days I really like the black cherry vanilla flavor Diet Coke. 

It's not his fault, there's a missing product. I have the same problem when I shop for a party -- how to stock up on at least three or four of every popular soft drink, beer or wine. The missing product? A 24-pack that's got a variety of stuff. A couple of Sprites, Diet Pepsi, Tejava -- you get the idea. Of course Coke would have their own special pack, and Pepsi would have theirs. No problem. I'll buy three of each. 

BTW, I got Marc a Sansa 2GB MP3 player. Expect some convergence over there in CanterLand.
