[nfb-talk] Something I've noticed!

Wed Jul 16 16:52:06 UTC 2014

Not cups! Cup lids! Its supposed to work out that you press down the bubble 
corrisponding to whether the stuff inside is diet or not. Only helpful to 
mark out those two. Not, to tell what flavor it is! Now, if they had that on 
the lids! The NFB is in favor of having braille whenever possible.
