Hint of the Week for March 20, 2024

Does anyone else here remember Five Alive? It hasn't been sold in the US for many years, but Canadians can still find it.

According to Coca-Cola:

"With it’s refreshing citrus taste from a blend of five fruit flavour and it’s quirky personality, Five Alive encourages unexpected and fun acts making those around them feel more alive."

Unexpected and fun acts like spelling "flavor" with a "u" and using "it's" as a possessive?
