Then explain New Coke.

I can explain New Coke.

Pepsi came out with the Pepsi Challenge. The Pepsi Challenge was a blind taste test between Coke and Pepsi. It was set up in grocery stores and other venues and they made TV, print, radio ads. It was a big fucking deal.

Anyway, Pepsi was kicking Cokes ass in the blind taste tests and I think taking some market share. So Coke thought they would re-formulate, hence New Coke. Big back lash and they brought back the regular Coke and called it Coca-Cola Classic. Eventually New Coke sales dwindled and it went away. Coca-Cola Classic went back to being just plain old Coke or Coca-Cola.

Here's the deal. The Pepsi Challenge had you take a small drink of Coke and a small drink of Pepsi. Pepsi easily wins this because it has a sweeter taste than Coke. But, no one just drinks a small sip of pop. You usually drink at least a 12 oz can and at that volume, Pepsi becomes too sweet for most adults.

I grew up in a Pepsi house. Gramps worked for Pepsi. The Willamette Valley is a Pepsi stronghold. But, when I grew the fuck up and moved to Seattle and could choose my own fucking cola, I choose Coke. Fuck Pepsi.

HTH

I know you are being sarcastic but I took the Pepsi Challenge and chose Coke. True story.

So Pepsi won the taste testing and Coke tried to copy the champ, then caved in to the demands of their poor taste having fanbase. Losers lose. Not surprised you support Coke instead of the people's champ. At. All.

All the celebs and cool people like Pepsi so go fuck your endangered polar bear in the ass.
