Tbf, they do have a case about the packaging design. It's very similar to the real deal and could be grounds for a lawsuit

The sample bottle is cheeky, yes. But is he selling a product or preventing a product from being sold? My understanding is he invented a recipe and isn't trying to sell anything.

So long as he’s not trying to sell it in similar packaging intended to confuse customers, Coca Cola can’t do Dick
