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.

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.

Who cares. High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is bad for you anyway.

I have been in the soft drink business for more than 25 years. See screen name

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

Boylan Sugar Cane Cola tastes so much better than either of those corn-syrup laden instant diabetes drinks that it's a wonder they don't withdraw both products from the market in utter humiliation. ;)

For some reason this article triggered a wave of nostalgia.

Anybody remember the following soft drinks: Nehi, Hires Root Beer?

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.

Score after the first round =
