Is Pepsi Fine? - No

Someone else is noticing the Pepsi trend. I much prefer Coke, but I to am finding it harder to get at restaurants. I think Pepsi is gaining in marketshare, due to some of Coke's pricing terms. I asked one of our local mom-and-pop shops about a year ago why he had to charge so much for a half-liter bottle of Coke. He said he was being charged the same rate that than the vending machine in the same building charged for the 20-ounce bottle, and he still had to add sales tax to it. He couldn't do enough volume to justify the business, so he had to switch to the half-liter bottle to keep the overall price down.
