Why does Diet Pepsi taste like rum and coke to me?
My guess is that Pepsi is in the soda guns in bars. I wonder if it is cheaper to have Pepsi products than coke products in a place where it really doesn't matter. I bet in the beginning of the Coke vs Pepsi war there was a big push for Pepsi to advertise the "Rum and Pepsi" is better than the "Rum and Coke". I think we all know which one won.
But maybe the joke is on Coke. Maybe Coke won the mainstream McDonald sponsor, but Pepsi is the unseen seller in bars around the world. They are snickering to themselves when "rum and Coke" is ordered because the money is really going into Pepsi's pocket. I guess a large portion of americans eat McDonald, but a large portion also like a tasty mixer with rum.
I hope there are people in suits at Pepsi with graphs showing the increase of purchases of pepsi by bars. They are standing around, laughing as the summertime comes. They know people will be going out to bars, dancing on decks, looking at a body of water, and shouting "Rum and Coke" but what really comes is rum and Pepsi.
Or none of this is true. I don't know, in my head that is how it works.
