I once heard that Microsoft subsidized caffeinated soda, but you had to pay for the caffeine-free options. That may just be an old wives' tale.

I'm pretty sure that's not true (worked at Microsoft in the 2000s).

Talking Rain was a popular caffeine-free soda there.

To be fair, I was told this back in the early 90s. It is the kind of policy that could easily come and go, maybe a couple times, in 10 years.
