My high school took out our soda machines because they were “unhealthy,” and replaced them with Vitamin Water and Minute Maid juice (eg, sugar water). In fairness, I’d never expect a district administrator to be a “reasonable person.”

Vitamin water does have about half as much sugar as soda so that's a bit of an improvement.

Given the brands you mention I bet they have a contract with Coca-Cola or those machines produce a nontrivial amount of profit such that the machines removal is disincentivized.

So they replaced it with other sodas that paid more...
