Pepsi-cola can't maintain second in the cola wars

[gorcorps]

If I order "Coke" and you bring me "Pepsi" and don't clarify - The Pepsi goes on you.

They're almost always listed on the menu. You're seriously the type of person who would punish a waitress for your own retardation?

diet coke is absolutely revolting

They often bring you soda BEFORE you are seated (waiting) or wefore you can even open the menu. It's not always obvious. And as I live in "soda-land" there is no way they can mistake my intent for "whatever generic cola you have" - When I say Coke, they bring me Coke. If its Pepsi, its the waitstaffs fault for not informing me that they don't have what I asked for.

Why wouldn't I punish the same person for bringing me a pork chop when I asked for a T-bone?

Diet Coke is so nasty. It seems people drink it only because they felt like they had to. It doesn't taste good at all. I don't drink any Diet drinks. I figure if I'm going to be drinking soda I should just drink the normal stuff since it's all bad any ways.

I love Diet Coke. Regular is too sweet, I only drink regular Coke or Pepsi when mixed with alcohol.

Even with Pepsi being behind Coke in these soda areas, Pepsi makes Coke as a company look like a midget, midget.

I have never been anywhere that did sodas before menus. I've never been anywhere that did sodas before seating. In fact, most places you can see the menu before seating.

Where do you live? Most restaurants come and ask you what you'd like to drink before you've had time to look over the menu.

Of course, my response is generally "what do you have on tap?", so I don't need a menu.

so you just stand there while waiting for a table with a soda in your hand? what the fuck kind of restaurants do you frequent?

Coke = generic term for cola
Soda = generic term for all carbonated soft drinks
pop = something idiots and little kids say

 

[God Mode]

Diet coke is best. Perfect amount of carbonation in a soda for those that dont want to drink syrup.

Same with me, I ask what is available if I can't find it in the menu. I don't just assume and tell them what I want. Bobdole is a doofus.

midget?

Do these numbers also count the other areas that Pepsi makes money in? Such as Gatorade, or the food industries they are in? Cause that's why Coke is a midget to the entire Pepsi company.

Coke > PepsiCo

 

[Newbian]

Coke = generic term for coke products only or coke off a hookers stomach
Soda = a term for soft drinks that is almost never used except by old folk when taling about soda fountains
pop = what most common sense people use

Fixed

btw it's not like pepsi isn't racking in the cash anyways. they make more in revenue than coca-cola does.

That's because Pepsi is mainly a food company. Most of their revenue is from their Frito-Lays brands. From their last annual report, Pepsi said about 2/3 of its 43B revenue was from food stuff.

Coke is just drinks, although they do make juices, teas, etc. But their revenue for the same time frame was 30B.

I like Pepsi out of the bottle with a lot of ice. ::shrug::

I think Pepsi's commercials have been lacking lately. May be the problem.

I miss cola, but not the calories. I like Coke and Pepsi. RC is good too. Unfortunately diet drinks are just awful.
