Pepsi vs. Coke

So I'm sitting in the office for study hall quite disappointed that my desire to restock the fridge has not been fulfilled. Micah and I went on an adventure full of restocking only to be denied by someone of whom I will not release the name (Mrs. Hayden ). She said that we had no beverages to be restocking with. Our sad faces turned into looks of curiosity. Why are there no beverages to restock with? Well, the answer is that we are switching to Coke products rather than Pepsi. Why? Who knows, but the point here is that there are no cokes to put in the refrigerator. We are still sad. Why does it even matter what kind of cokes we get??

Is there really a difference between the two?
I'm not going to lie, if I had a choice I might pick one over the other, but if I was stranded in a desert and the land happened to be abundant with a different brand I don't think I would be complaining. But anyways, is there really a difference between these two rivaling products. Let's see...

Well technically the definition of Coke is...a cola-based soft drink containing caffeine and sugar

and the definition of Pepsi is...a brand of carbonated cola non-alcoholic drink produced by the company Pepsi

The only difference seems to be the name unless Coke contains alcohol that I am unaware of.

It has been thought that Pepsi is sweeter and liked by most, but Coke is the preferred beverage when drinking a whole can. I think it is ridiculous that we have such a big controversy over this. I think it is just a pride thing. Kind of like how republicans and democrats can be. The rivalry can become a meaningless hatred of one another and have no true purpose. I think this is what has happened to Coke and Pepsi. They don't know why they are fighting, it just seems to be the right thing to do. I think they should just make up and perhaps combine to form a super-coke like Coca-Pepsi. Oh wait, that would just be RC. Speaking of RC, where does it fit into all of this? I mean, it has been great since 1905, but remains in the shadows of Pepsi and Coke. This is just unfair. RC deserves more credit than it gets. It has Sunkist, which is the orangey goodness of the world. You just can't beat it. Good for you RC! You are the underdog that will end up taking over the beverage industry whenever Coke and Pepsi self-destruct during their epic battle. Congrats!

Well if we ever make it through our quest to restock I will let you know, but for now I will just sit here deeply disappointed as Micah snorts and grabs her suspenders.
