==Summary==
[[Lawndale High]], running a budget deficit, sells soda company [[Ultra Cola]] exclusive beverage sales and advertising rights to the school. Daria complains about the commercialization of a school to Jodie and Tom, both of whom respond that she should act rather than just complain. Daria then reluctantly meets with Lawndale School Superintendent Cartwright to voice her concerns. Cartwright dismisses Daria's objections as a ploy to bolster her record of participation in extra-curricular activities. Daria asks Superintendent Cartwright to visit Lawndale High to see the effects of the advertising; the Superintendent is non-committal, and ends the meeting.
This episode concerned a soda company's purchasing advertising space, and more, at [[Lawndale High]]. Daria attempts to fight it, with mixed results.
 
Although the school is now flush with cash, the Ultra-Cola representative [[Leonard Lamm]] tells Ms. Li that Lawndale High has not met their sales quota, and threatens legal action. Ms Li takes ever more extreme actions, drinking more and more caffeinated Ultra-Cola as she does.
