Coke v Pepsi is a big deal.


Besides the soda, Pepsi is the owner of several subsidiaries.

Frito-Lay, Quaker Oats, Tropicana, Sabra Dipping Company, Naked Juice, and the big one for sports, Gatorade.

Subsidiaries of PepsiCo, Inc

Winning the Cola Wars in Water Street is pretty important as well. It'll be up to the individual restaurants to serve Coke or Pepsi, but their landlords having a pre-existing relationship with Pepsi may sway some of the independent upstarts to choose Pepsi.

Prefer Coke over Pepsi but I'll give PepsiCo honorable kudos for having Mountain Dew.... I love me some Code Red like Killorn loves taking dumb penalties and being at .50 PPG

I taste no difference between Coke and Pepsi.
Pepsi has a bit of a lemon twinge and a bit sweeter. Coke is a little more cinnamon. I don't think it's a big deal.

Apparently consumer studies favor Pepsi initially, as it's sweeter, but Coke seems better in quantity.

I have always thought of Pepsi as flat Coke

Edit: also saw a Pepsi truck today with the Lightning logo and “Go Bolts” on the side

I have never heard anyone order a rum and Pepsi. Maybe Pepsi is for tea totalers, and Coke for the rest of us.

The Veterans seems better since it widened, but I don't commute as much that way any more.

Exactly what we were just talking about coming up with Channelside Drive. This time with reduced demand, rather than induced.


This stretch is a few blocks outside the Water Street project, but it's too relevant not to include. It's one of the major routes in and out of the district.
