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.

“Pepsi is for p*ssys. It tastes like sh*t”

Couldn’t agree more. Pepsi tastes like that pink stuff.

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.’

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.

I had a friend bring me a six-pack of Moxie down from the north out of curiosity - that stuff is foul! I can’t believe people drink it!

I can’t drink Pepsi because my parents weren’t related.
