    Tough question but it seems like a lot of people I know have quit drinking sodas and there is a lot of dogs.

    Is this by dollar amount or what?

    I highly doubt Soda Stream is killing soda sales but I do think dog food sells more.

    [non sequitur]My dog drinks soda.[/non sequitur]

    Not really. But this morning she did eat some glazed donuts, off of my son's plate when he went to the restroom.

    I'm going to go with Dog Food.

    There are so many alternatives for the ignorant and orally fixated to get their fix on- energy drinks, flavored 'water', coffee, etc.

    The sad thing is that you can make Dog Food cheaper.

    Soda

    Restaurants,Sports Venues,Concerts,Schools,Colleges,Food Courts, etc.. Sodas are everywhere..

    Has to be Soda because more likely that 95% of all Americans will drink a soda in there lifetime.. But how many are actually going to own a dog?

    According to sources I found on Google, Americans spend $66 Billion/year on soda, and $8.5 Billion/year on dog food.

    Soda. If you think about it, real hard, you realize that some dogs have multiple owners. All of them drink soda......but only one them buys the dog food!

    And sometimes, dog owners go places without their dogs, and get thirsty still!

    And then, there are all these restaurants, mall food courts, movie theaters, gyms, amusement parks, hotels with room service, and cafeterias that don't sell any dog food!

    If you freeze a Coke right, it can start to ice as soon as you open the can up. It makes a Coke slushie and it tastes delicious. I've only had it randomly happen twice but it was the best thing ever.

    Not knowing the price on a case of soda (but assuming somewhere around $4-6), that'd be double-triple the amount spent on pet food total, let alone dog food.
