It’s already charmed to mess with your desires by making you want it at certain times. Why can’t it be charmed to make you not want it when it won’t work. You wouldn’t even notice that your preferences were being edited.
How far can that charm extend though? If I had never seen a can of Comed-Tea (hey, I already haven’t,) I’d want to try it out according to a consistent schedule. If a can of soda has the power to control people’s minds without their ever coming in contact with it, we’re already getting into realms of omnipotence-via-soda.
I thought about it a bit more, and I’m going to hazard a guess.
It’s charmed to taste bad if drunk at the wrong times. If the customer insists on drinking it anyway, it won’t work and they can get their money back.
