United in corporate greed shocker!!

I believe Dronny to be the authority on this subject.

I thought Coke and Pepsi were owned by the same company. Stories like this make great advertising for both side.

One of the first things you ever learn in life mate is that Coke and Pepsi are NOT the same company!!

So much so that if someone asks for a Coke and they sell Pepsi under the trades descriptions act 1974 they HAVE to inform the customer they are not getting coke!! Coke actually send people out to check too!!

But Coke and Pepsi are the classic example of heightening/exaggerating brand rivalry so as to force other competitors out of the market. Between them, Coca Cola Company Ltd and PepsiCo have about 40% of the market share of ALL soft drinks (not just cola) worldwide.

Which countries is Pepsi more popular than cola in, by the way? When I was a kid, I thought they were about equal in Britain, but I'd say Coke is about 70% of the market now (with Pepsi being c.25% and other brands 5%). Coke is probably 95-99% in Belgium (due to abhorrent marketing campaigns that I'm sure would be illegal in any fully-modernised country), and in Bosnia, I'd say Pepsi is third in the market, behind Coke and Cockta, but Pepsi really does taste awful here and is packaged and promoted terribly.

I prefer the third option Dr Pepper.

Try getting either in Scotland - Irn Bru outsells them both.

But I like Coke and not Pepsi and seeing who the rags have cozied up with, I'm certain I've made the right choice. Pepsi is now on my blacklist along with Chevrolet, Audi and Sharp. I'm not just bitter, I don't forgive and forget,

I kicked Vodafone into touch for the same reason 12 years back. Still wont touch them.

I could give a shit about who sponsors any pro sports team or athlete to be honest. There are a lot of other things I take into consideration on which product I purchase or which service I use. I do know one thing though there are a couple of companies I'm glad sponsor the rags. From the simple fact I know there are people that do take things like that into consideration. Which in turn has helped some of the stock I owned in these companies when they announced the deals.

A good point, well made. Like all of the other 9 posts you've made. This is a guy to watch out for for insight, everybody!

Considering the responses you received from everyone else, I think it's fair to say you don't have to worry about 'Rodders' BiB.

People refuse to drink Pepsi in Spain. No bars stock it because people won't drink anything other than Coca-Cola. There are some prissy fucks over here.

I love 7 Up but you can hardly find that over here either. It shits all over Sprite in my opinion.

If they have Dialprix in Madrid mate try there,they have cans of it here,never seen the bottles.

Cockta? Don't think that would sell too well in the UK market somehow.

It's actually a really, really nice drink, but terrible for using as a mixer with alcoholic drinks.

To add to the name, its tagline is "Cockta: You'll never forget your first one!"
