Pepsi, Coke, or RC?
Pepsi, Coke, or RC?
Mountain Dew.
Oh, my bad. That wasn't an option, was it?
I'll try again.
Sweet Tea. Darn it!
Considering how close we are to Atlanta and that Chattanooga is the home of the first Coca-Cola bottling company, I think my answer is supposed to be Coca Cola.
And even considering that Columbus, GA (home of RC Cola) is just a bit further down the road from Atlanta, I think RC is supposed to be my second answer.
However, I was raised in a Pepsi-drinking household, and we shouldn't turn our backs on who we are, right?!
A person's preference between colas is definitely shaped by what he/she is exposed to. Pepsi was always available at my house, Coke--not so much. In fact, I don't recall drinking much Coca-Cola until my late teen years although I do have clear memories of how the world lost its mind when New Coke came out. Oh my, were people upset! So upset, that we were soon thereafter gifted with Coca-Cola Classic.
Coca-Cola vs. New Coke: who was the winner? Pepsi.
For some people, a soda preference is deeply connected to who they are, their memories, their life. For others, its just colored, sugar water that's bad for you.
And there are plenty of people everywhere in between.
Even if you have a preference, try something new every once in awhile. You never know when a new flavor may become your new favorite!
