No matter how dorky an internet gaming message board might be, at least there is news and/or opinions on games to be gotten from a gaming message board.

What could you possibly have to discuss about soft drinks all day long.

Constant Coke / Pepsi flamewars, I'll bet.

Which celebrity is advertising for who, which new flavors are coming out, which soft drink is under which label, etc.


(these are all guesses)

Shit, that place rules. Those dudes can find ANY kind of soda I want. Melon Fanta is the fucking bomb.

1.5 liters are doing terribly in NYC metro.

Coke lost a ton of market share, and now they are .1 behind Pepsi -- 34.2 to 34.3 (Seltzer, Snapple, and private label are pretty strong in that market).

Previously they had 38.5 to Pepsi's 32.9. I remember when I worked up there in the late 90's -- Coke was #2 until CCE bought Coke NY out.

Coke's sales fell 12.7% in supermarkets, I believe in the 3 month period ending in the middle of June. Ouch.

Wow. You squint, and it's a post on the Gaming Board.

The "Bartender or Can Opener" thread kicks ass. TEN PAGES worth of intense debate. This place rules.
