I must vigorously protest. Your statement - " finds no indications of a connection to Mrs. Midgley" is preposterous. Are you claiming that Thomas Midgley came into being without a mother? Just poof and he was there? That is right up there with "are you suggesting coconuts migrate?". I think this is proof positive that Diet Coke has Ethylium and at a much higher percentage than Diet Dew. And why have Bev do it? While his expertise is unmatched in this area, I have IC equipment. I am sure you can trust my completely unbiased and objective findings......
