Pepsi, Coke rivalry becomes physical
Fri Oct 12, 9:46 PM ET
The long-standing rivalry between Coke and Pepsi took a physical turn Friday when a Pepsi deliveryman allegedly punched his Coke counterpart in the face at a western Pennsylvania Wal-Mart, state police said.
The two deliverymen were "apparently bickering back and forth" while unloading their wares at the Indiana County store, police said. When the Coke deliveryman left the store, his counterpart allegedly punched him in the face three times, breaking his nose and giving him a black eye, police said.
No charges have been filed, but police characterized the incident as a misdemeanor simple assault.
Nothing personal...but the Coke dude probably said something nasty about the Pepsi gentleman’s momma...and you can’t let someone like that get away with comments as such. Lets face it...Coke is inferior to Pepsi...we all know it. Coke has to pay off politicians in the US, China and North Korea to get the edge on Pepsi. Pepsi has stood there and taken enough punishment....its time to rise up...and take on the Coke crowd.
It’s the real thing.
Pepsi is for p*ssys. It tastes like sh*t
LOL
Brawls b’long over booze, not sugar water.
“Pepsi is for p*ssys. It tastes like sh*t”
Couldn’t agree more. Pepsi tastes like that pink stuff.
Pepsi is tastier.
Business wise and other; that is a very stupid woman to have in your corporation.
This is sort of lame: after having read your comments on plenty of threads, just found out your username could be written ‘Pepsi on ice.’
Now you kids settle down!
Yeah but diet coke is better than diet pepsi.
wow, I read your link: Sumbuddy otta slap the dot off her forehead. She should have stay in the traditional business as her countrymen, slumlords.
You’ins need to chill in Indiana County.
If I had been the headline writer “Pepsi deliveryman allegedly pops Coke counterpart”
The pity of it is you have to buy imports to get actual Coke OR Pepsi. Friends don’t let friends drink corn gunk.

Personally, I think both taste pretty nasty these days. My guess it is the replacement of cane sugar with high fructose corn syrup, and probably other “cost saving” measures. Blech.
OMG!! I heard there was a fight at a western Pa Walmart, but until your post I didn’t know it was ours!! LOL!!!
Yeah, we’re really making the news these past few weeks! Ha!
I can’t drink Pepsi because my parents weren’t related.
Well, it is a unique taste. I think it's delicious and nothing is as thirst quenching as an ice cold Moxie.
I think it's one of those tastes that must be acquired early. If one doesn't start drinking Moxie by age 6, it probably isn't going to happen.
Over here, they sell Coca-Cola in glass bottles and with sugar. Since the labeling is primarily in Spanish (there is a sticker with English nutritional information), guessing it is a product of NAFTA.
They also sell the canned and plastic bottled Coca-Cola with high fructose corn syrup (which is by far the common one).
Only an RC (Royal Crown) cola ia appropriate with a Moonpie.
And Coke only tastes good with a handful of peanuts in the bottle.
Who cares. High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is bad for you anyway.
Pepsi. Wanna make somethin of it, Coke Nancy?
Taste nothing like the name the same as Pepsi or Coke.
I’ll take RC cola over both of them.
Oh, yeah, I remember now. This was all over the MSM.
/sarc
Pepsi is yucky stuff!
Yeah but diet coke is better than diet pepsi.
*******
I’m the opposite. I like Coke over Pepsi, but diet Pepsi over diet Coke.
Of course, I’ll take a beer over all of them.
It tastes like sh*t
“I’ll take RC cola over both of them.”
Many years before 9-11, one of the Coke or Pepsi distributors in Chicago started the rumor that RC was owned by Arabs. It did cause problems with RC sales. It’s still on the shelves, but there’s no advertising for RC at all and I don’t know anybody who drinks it today.
My wife used to down an 8-pack of RC 16-ouncers in a weekend.
RC is my pop of choice. It always has been.
RC cola and a Moon pie!
You beat me to it. Ever since Indra Nooyi made those remarks I have been an RC fan. Michael Jackson’s history with Pepsi had absolutely nothing to do with it. ;)
Pocari Sweat. Man I used to drink that stuff when I was in Japan years ago. It was the best thing for a hangover.
It is very plentiful here on the shelves in No. Texas and I like it. I remember it from childhood and found it agai about a year ago.
Only a Coke drinker would know what sh*t tastes like.
Not sure if this is good or bad in the overall scheme of things, but due to the large Mexican population in our area, the local grocery stores stock a large number of brands and items that are of Mexican origin. I can buy Coke made with real sugar (imported from Mexico) by the bottle at our local grocery stores (if I really had to drink Coke, which thank God I don’t).
No way.
Diet Pepsi is far superior to Diet Coke. Diet Coke is weak and lacks fizz
Fightin’ over “product placement”????
The democrats will have to do something against Big Soda, like pass a law against carbonation.
RC Cola has always beaten both giant cola's in a blind taste test every time.
To bad the RC Cola company was bought buy Victor Posner many years ago. He was the original corporate raider. He sucked the company dry, sold off the brands piecemeal and killed the distributor network.
Cadbury Schweeps now owes the brand and will never do anything with it because the RC Cola brand pretty much no longer exists except in a few markets. Diet Rite Cola is the only reason Cadbury doesn't drop the RC Cola brand altogether.
As far as Pepsi verses Coke conflagration, I've dealt with all levels of personnel from route drivers, salesman, marketing to Presidents.
BY FAR the COKE personnel are some of the biggest asshats in the industry. When I was a young buck competing against Coke, I used to ask them: "Was it painful when they inserted the micro chip into your brain" because they thought Coca Cola were the only brand worthy to be on the market shelves.
More than once I was moments away from cold cocking some of them because of the way they disrespected me personally and professionally
Pepsi personnel on the other hand pretty much were professional and very competitive but understood at the end of the day, we were competitors not enemies.
I worked in several markets and found this to be true across the board for both companies.
I have been offered several opportunities to work for Coke, but would never work for such ass holes
I sold almost every brand in the market except for Coke or Pepsi. The brands include: Canada Dry, 7-up, RC Cola, Nehi, Crush, A&W, Dad's, Welches, Sunkist, Perrier, Poland Springs, Sobe, Gatorade, Snapple, Hires, Arizona, Mistic, Zepherhills, Big Red, Dr. Pepper, and probably a two dozen more nobody will remember nor can I

Coca-Cola is an American Classic, Pepsi is a wanna be and tastes inferior. Nothing like a Coke in a ole bottle......!
