The classical Coca-Cola vs. Pepsi

Obviously your all thinking I have way too much time on my, but its mind bottling!! Which of these two soft drinks is the SUPREME WINNER IN PEOPLES HEARTS ACROSS THE WORLD!  Before finding out which is better let’s get into the basic facts on both contestants.  
Coca-Cola otherwise known as Coke begun its existence on May 8, 1886 a pharmacist named Dr. John Pemberton (who I might add is a creative GENIUS) in downtown Atlanta.  Not only has coke been around a long time there celebrating the 125th year in business.  Presently Coke sells averaging out 1.7 billion drinks a day in more than 200 countries around the globe.  If curious to what’s in the product here’s the list (Carbonated water, sugar/glucose-fructose, caramel color, phosphoric acid, natural flavor, caffeine)  
 Pepsi-Cola (wow similar names how original) created in 1898, named “Brad’s Drink” but was later renamed as Pepsi-Cola on June 16, 1903. The founder of this pop drink goes by the name Caleb Bradham who created this drink in the comfort of his home in North Carolina. The logo of the brand changed throughout the years finally falling onto the red, blue, white traditional Pepsi logo. The soft drink has been around for 100 years, and is best known in the province of Quebec as the Francophone drink. Ironic that the drink was created in the US but is best presented in Canada, Quebec town to many French Quebecer’s.

RIVARY
Pepsi dominates Coke in certain areas of the world this, yet its fact that Coca-Cola does outsell Pepsi overall in most parts of the world. Over the few survey’s that I’ve token a peak at they explain how in blind taste test Coke has won over Pepsi. I guess how would I say It it’s more of a… “Addictive Drink to remember” and also people have been noticed to lean more to the coke logo and layout as it is more eye appealing compared to the Pepsi. I doubt the logo changes the taste to many people who still would prefer Pepsi to coke even if there logo isn’t as eye catching.

So I guess the general public prefer Coke, but yet many people wouldn’t spend a dime of Coca-Cola and prefer there North Carolina drink Pepsi.

Different Place, Different Time

Have you ever thought to yourself  "DAMN ive been born in the wrong era, time, century, decade". Im positive we've all thought about it once or twice when looking around us, and wishing we were in one of the black and white movies on T.V just because everything seemed so effortless, and smooth. How the men talked to the woman, and how Gary Grant would sweet talk a woman into his arms. The woman would come out on set in these ravishing gowns and you'd wish you'd be able to spend a moment in there shoes.  You've all seen todays cars pass by on the road....red,black,gray,blue (sometimes yellow) plastic, and you'd wish to see a dodge dart swinger painted eletric blue or ruby red , or even a 57' bel air painted in red and white cruse by your place just to make you stare and smile. I wonder how it be like if I wasnt born in this time period. I mean thinks are complicated anytime and anywhere. Im not saying I dont have it good but, what i'd give to spend a moment "Back in the day" seeing all these old cars, dressing up in vintage clothing, listening to the first song of the rolling stones on my little portable radio.
I'd love to spend a day in the 60's I guess I'm some sort of flower child with a love of Jimi Hendrix, old cars, and the peace sign!

So Ladies and Gentlemen I'm asking what would your "Back in the day" be like? where? when? why? (:
