When I was in high school I'd stop and get a Pepsi and a honeybun just about every day after school. When I was younger I'd always get a small Coke. They were in a seperate machine and cost 7 cents compared to 10 cents for the ten oz. size. I'd have money left over for candy or bubble gum.Gray Ghost said:Since I am from NC, the founding home of Pepsi, I have always been partial to Pepsi. Most people drink coffee in the mornings, I have to have my Pepsi. I don't care much for Coke since New Coke came out and they went back to what they called their Coke Classic. It was just not the same. I can only drink a Coke in a glass or in their glass bottles. I wish Pepsi would go back to putting their drinks in the 16 oz long necks. Nothing like an Ice cold Pepsi in a glass bottle and a honeybun. I also like RC Colas and Moon Pies.

Look like they are now specifically making Mexican Coke and Pepsi for US consumption. It's a guess. and I could be wrong. Mexico still refills their bottles. It's a waste of weight and glass to keep sending refillable bottles that will be trashed in the US. I think that is the reason for the switch to the thinner non refill Mexican Soda bottles from Pepsi and Coca-Cola.
Whatever the reason, the good old chrystalizing Cane sugar Coke is still on it's way and taking away little pieces of America's newly formulated corn syrup marketshare.
Matt Deckard said:Here is another tidbit: Mexican Coke is cheaper at Wal-Mart than at the sodapop shop.
Now if they would only start carrying Dublin Dr. Pepper, I could stop going to that shop all together.
As it is, US Coca-Cola has lost a customer of their can's and two liter bottles, and Mexican Coke has gained a new customer who can stock up at a lower than competitors cost at the Wal-Mart that is less than a block away.
Thank you Wal-Mart.

Royal Crown? I knew it had a couple uses, but you can drink it, too?Wild Root said:I don’t only like Coke… I like NEHI, Vernor’s, Cheerwine, Orange Crush and Royal Crown.
