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

Maybe Coke needs to change it’s product and call it NEW COKE!
Oh wait. They did that. Has any one seen a bottle of it in years?
Thanks for sharing PopMan. Great insight. Here in the DFW metroplex I think there is a Cadbury Schweps dist. center in Plano. So we get a lot of the RC cola on the shelves. Like you said, when we put it out at parties it sits till the Choke/Pisspi is gone and THEN discover that it tastes better. To each their own, now pass me a RC.
