    I just realized something strange... when I lived in Albuquerque, NM Coca-Cola and Dr. Pepper were bottled at the same plant, and distributed at the same plant... they also did both Sprite, and 7 UP as well as both Mountain Dew and Sierra Mist...

    Pretty sure it's just a localized bottler thing, more than a national or international thing... and I've never heard of Coke & Pepsi sharing a blanket.;) R.C. Cola and D.P. but never Coke & the "P" word (remember "MAX HEADROOM?" -"Don't say the 'P' word!")

    One thing for sure though, it'll be the first major sports venue I've ever attended without Coke...

    I'll drink any of 'em. As long as they deteriorate the lining of my intestines in slow agonizing fashion.:D

    Got any alfalfa pills? My gastro-entemologist friends tell me that's the secret to digestive repair. That, and not stressing out over things you have no direct control over. Like which soda is at Toyota, and which team is winning.

    When all else fails... Aquafina.

    And those that prefer Dr. Pepper average 100 points lower. I am boycotting Dr. Pepper because of their selling out to the gangbangers. See their commercials with all the crip and blood signs-makes me sick and it used to be my favorite drink. I wrote them a letter because all my friends were pissed when they saw the gangbanging commercial on the superbowl. Kinda fits with the gangbanging (thug) basketball now-a-days though.

    They'll probably charge 10 bucks for a 10 oz Pepsi.

    I'm sure the decision of Pepsi over Coke had something to do with Yao Ming having an endorsement deal with Pepsi. Yao also was supposedly upset with Coke for wrongly marketing him.

    I never thought I'd have to bootleg coke into an arena.

    I mean, my socks are already filled up with liquor as it is.

    :(
