There's also #3:

     3. Wait until SCL is actually available before doing any tossing.

   Coca-Cola executives protested that they had been misunderstood
   and that the drink was not just tap water but in fact the result
   of a highly sophisticated process to create the purest drinking
   water you can get. As far as Coke were concerned, Dasani was a
   lifestyle drink, a drink you would want to be seen with, the
   source was all but irrelevant.

   Dasani is water, not a lifestyle drink. Gin is a lifestyle drink.
