==Is the Norwegian drink the same as the Australian one?==
I notice that in consecutive edits, User:Cdc has removed the mention of ''Schweppes Solo'' (an Australian soft drink) [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Solo&diff=8020171&oldid=7665588] and User:Profoss has added ''Solo'' (a Norwegian soft drink) [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Solo&diff=0&oldid=8020171]. This leads me to ask two questions:
# Why did Cdc remove the ozzie drink from the list? [And why was it summarised as "minor editing"? It seems pretty major to me; maybe the removal was accidental...]
# Are the "Norwegian" and "Australian" soft drinks actually the same lemon-flavoured concoction, sold by Schweppes (or a subsidiary) in both countries? [And why did the inserters of both items feel that they should mention a location?]
In other words, should there be 1, 2, or no soft drinks in the list? I'm inclined to restore the original (before Cdc's edit), but remove the geographic reference on the assumption that it's marketted in various different places. But I'll wait and see if anyone can clarify first. - User:IMSoP 19:01, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
