"And as far as Coke and Pepsi go I buy which ever is on sell at the time. I went to Eckerds tonight, the Coke products were on sell. The cashier said that the Pepsi would be on sell next week. I bought Coke tonight and if I buy any next week it will be Pepsi."

You are a rare Cola Agnostic. Most folks have a definite preference (mine is for Pepsi, with Mexican or Brasilian Coke made with real sugar a good alternative). Jerry Mead, our blessed founder, was a Coke guy to the bone. These companies fight HUGE wars over market share, just like Bud and Miller and Coors.

If Kenya and the Phillipines can turn out multi-lingual doctors with public schooling we should be able to at least make semi-literate fast food operators, hunh?
