This came up before and our leading suspect is the sponsor.  Since one of the 
main General Foods products advertised on TAGS was Sanka coffee, they 
probably didn't want any possible "competition."  I know they drank soda too, 
but it 
was usually around the filling station, where coffee and tea weren't quite so 
available.
