To avoid having to ask flight crews to stop by Costco on their way to the airport in the event of a supply disruption, we have chosen to facilitate Jones' focus and relieve them of responsibility of supplying us with canned product. For those passengers how have grown fond of our signature "Cremesicle" cocktails, we appologize in advance.
IMO, Thomas Kemper produces a superiour product to Jones, albeit only in bottles. Perhaps they could stock a limited supply of that instead as a "premium" non-alcholic beverage.
