Cassandra Neuharth Comm 281 Minot State University freshman Sydney Ruest’s 2008 Christmas vacation was like any other holiday except that she happened to be in Florida. As Ruest and her family roamed around Universal Studios Park in Orlando, Ruest took photos of her trip. One picture in particular, of the ride “The Hulk,” is a con - stant reminder of her family holiday. As a long-time enthusiast of Jones Soda, Ruest always had a fascination for the variety of photos on each bottle. As she was enjoying one of her favorite flavors she noticed a statement on the bottle that read, “Send us your photo. If we like it, we will put it on our label."
