You do this a lot.  As if your community negates the rest of the earth. 
Why do you do this?

It's what I see. Is it wrong to point out what I see, and what I prefer?

Is this wrong?


No one drinks it when Coke is available.

Yes, it is.

What's Coke's?  And specifically Pepsi the soda vs Coke the soda.
You cannot separate them. They operate as one business with different profit centers. 

Coke is at around $300 Billion at this time.

Mountain Dew is the ultimate cheat code if they carry Pepsi products.

I've never liked that stuff. Too sweet.

I like Ginger Ale a lot.

I’m not sure the data is available. But nobody on here will claim that Pepsi as a stand alone beverage is more popular than coke, because we all know that coke is #1, even for the people on here who prefer coke. 

But, we can also all agree that Pepsi, the beverage not the company, is wildly successful as well. 

Myself, I’m actually more of a Dr Pepper man.

Posted above.

Coke $300 Billion
Pepsi $241 Billion

You cannot separate them into Coke and Pepsi only. They are one business with different profit centers.

Well, no shit Sherlock. But Pepsi owns fast food chains ( Taco Bell! ) and chips and all kinds of other enterprise. 

Coke has all sorts of businesses as well. 

I’m not going to look it up, but I don’t have to to know that Coke is the number one soda, and Pepsi is not. By how much, who knows ?

My info was outdated. Pepsi sold their food division years ago,  but they still own Lays.

They used to have those Kentucky-Taco-Huts at rest stops, back when Pepsi owned all three.

You can find the data out there.  I saw it in MBA grad school many years ago, whatever the most updated Harvard Business Cases most likely have it.

Yes, it is.


Idk, you just seem to not understand or not care about statistical significance. 
I found a source that pinpointed only 4 areas where more people drink Pepsi than Coke.  Middle Appalachia, Montana, North Dakota, and Buffalo NY.  The whole rest of the country prefers Coke, which is an overwhelming % of the population. 
Let's use WV for "middle Appalachia" and do some math.  Those 4 places have about 3.25 million people.  The US at large has 335 million.  That's less than 1%.  For a product to be so widely available - at nearly half the food places, every gas station, tons of vending machines (Pepsi's issue is NOT availability) and to only be preferred by 1% of the country tells us something. 
It tells us a great deal more than what you see around you.
.
And while $241 billion dollars is a ton of money and this "yeah but" and that "you're wrong," my point is quite sound. 
But let me be more precise, just for you. 
When both are available, an overwhelming percentage of people prefer Coke - so overwhelming that the percentage that prefer Pepsi is statistically insignificant.

Happy?
