Coke vs. Pepsi (UMN)

[mebisonII]

I thought this was an interesting example of the myriad of other things that have to get worked out with the Vikings playing in TCF Bank Stadium: U of MN has an exclusive deal with Coke for the entire campus. The Vikings have a similar deal with Pepsi. Who wins? Oh, and the NFL has a deal with Gatorade as well.

I've had TAB once. Know how it's considered a diet drink? Gave me the runs, so I guess they're right.

Since we were talking about sodas, I looked up OK cola and apparently it was only test marketed? I vividly remember that from my childhood, but hardly anyone got it. These were the test markets:

Austin, Texas
Boston, Massachusetts
Denver, Colorado
Colorado Springs, Colorado
Cincinnati, Ohio
Fargo, North Dakota
Knoxville, Tennessee
Lyndon, Washington
Portland, Oregon
Providence, Rhode Island
Little Rock, Arkansas
Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota
Omaha, Nebraska
Sacramento, California
Seattle, Washington
Detroit, Michigan
Atlantic Canada
Northern Wisconsin
