Why oh Why are the Villages food establish ments predominantly Pepsi?

[aninjamom]

I like Coke, my husband likes Pepsi. Our one big disagreement, but we are able to coexist anyway. I have noticed that; in The Villages, it seems to be assumed that you are ordering a DIET soda, and that stuff is nasty. I have learned to emphasize REGULAR when I am ordering to avoid having to send it back.

How about a rum and Pepsi? Yuk!

Depends on which company gives the best prices to the establishment.

Prefer Coke but will drink Pepsi. Only get Diet in cans at supermarkets.

[Chi-Town]

When an establishment commits to a certain brand there is a substantial incentive from the supplier to do so. Just think about how much cola is sold in The Villages' owned restaurants and kiosks.

Water or Ice Tea I don't drink that sugar cr**p

When I was in college I used to drink a lot of Coca Cola. At some point to reduce costs the company in the US stopped using real sugar and substituted cheaper corn syrup which changed the taste for the worse. Also I avoid corn syrup and artificial sweeteners as much as possible for the usual, obvious and well known health reasons. Last time I was in France I bought some coke in small cans as it was made with real sugar. Don't know if it still is there or anywhere for that matter.

I would have to be very hard pressed to drink a Pepsi as I never much cared for it.

Pepsi buys into sit down places quite a bit. They used to own the majority of California Pizza Kitchen, for example. And then, they serve Pepsi.

Pepsi No Coke.

I prefer Coke but really have only drink it when we go out to eat. No Lemon Water for me. No Judging the people who go that route.

That SNL skit was a satire on the “Billy Goat Tavern” in Chicago,
and it was just like that when I went there for lunch,,,
but they also said “no fries, just chips!”
Oh such great memories!
