The cartoon room was next to the deli, and I remember getting the ladies in the deli to make me sandwiches for my lunch break. For about $2, they would pile on more meat than you could eat.

Right after New Coke came out I remember my granddad buying one in a gas station unaware that they changed the formula. He popped it open and took a sip. I saw his face contort and then he studied the can. He shook his head and said “those sons of bitches.” Lol

I remember drinking RC Cola all the time. Mt friend's parents only bought Chek Cola. That shite was terrible.

Years later in an undergraduate marketing class learned challenge participants leaned heavily to Pepsi because it was sweeter than Coca-Cola. For a moment allowed Pepsi products to steal a good bit of market share from Coca-cola. The whole new coke/ max headroom thing was coke’s answer and it backfired and coke classic was reintroduced.

Took it at Splash Town water park in Houston. Got one of these and thought I was hot shite. I was in the 5th grade at the time. Kept it in my neon Velcro wallet.

I remember as a kid seeing Pepsi pander to Gen X with the Spice Girls in their ads. This kinda started the whole generation marketing trend.

What kind of simp wouldn’t be able to do this. Coke and Pepsi don’t taste alike. It would be like not being able to tell Dr Pepper and Sprite apart.

I have Shasta ginger ale in my pantry. Frank one two days ago. It’s still around.

They had several at grocery stores in Lafayette back in the day. We did it a few times and I always picked Pepsi.

I did it - it was really easy to tell them apart. Maybe they should try it today on people with COVID.

Pepsi in glass bottles. GOAT

Clear Pepsi or get out. Just kidding, that was crap.
