Imagine going to the store to pick up a six-pack of Diet Coke but finding that you can only purchase a 36-pack, or that Diet Coke has been eliminated from store shelves altogether.

You ask the store clerk when more will be coming, but the clerk informs you that Diet Coke has been discontinued in Utah. The clerk explains the reason is because laws in other states changed and the soda manufacturers determined it wasn’t economically prudent to produce Diet Coke in Utah, but he offers you a six-pack of Sprite or suggests a diet cola from a local soda maker.
