The site uses a standard CPG template with repetitive blocks for ‘Nutrition facts,’ ‘Ingredients,’ and ‘Rumor has it.’ It hits several industry clichés including ‘taste the tradition,’ ‘anything but ordinary,’ and ‘finest natural flavors.’ While the Prohibition-era backstory provides some unique positioning, the value proposition of ‘Gourmet Soda’ is undermined by standard commodity ingredients like ‘Yellow #6’ and ‘Potassium Sorbate.’

Commodity Fingerprint is read from the page structure first: templated copy tends to repeat the same heading patterns and shapes seen across an industry. Below is the heading hierarchy captured, then the known cliché patterns for this industry to weigh it against.

Our Root Beer is a truly great American original and has stayed the same since forever. We mix the finest sassafras, vanilla and honey to create a soda that’s anything but ordinary. It’s where it all started. In Prohibition, it turned beer drinkers into root beer drinkers and kept them out of ‘trouble’.
