    The Cola war begins! :)From link here.
    The cola wars have degenerated to hand-to-hand combat.

    A Pepsi employee allegedly assaulted a Coca-Cola employee at a Wal-Mart, Pennsylvania officials said.

    Robert Koscho, 48, and Pepsi employee David Paulina, 42, are accused of bickering back and forth while making their deliveries at a White Township, Pa. Wal-Mart October 1. Officials told WTAE that as Koscho was leaving the store, Paulina attacked him giving him a black eye and broken nose.

    The fight allegedly began over shelf space in the aisles of the store. Police also said the two are accused of trying to run each other over with pallets filled with soda.

    Pepsi said they do not tolerate violence in the workplace and have fired Paulina as a result.

    Police continue to investigate.

    Yet another tragic case of 'too much sugar' I'm afraid.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,243 ✭✭✭✭Jesus Wept


    Pepsi ftw!

    Nice one Ruu, that was a great find. Makes me laugh thinking of these two guys in their respective uniforms battering each other in the street.

    Sounds like a scene from Jackass.

    If I'm going full fat, I go coke, however for the sugar free chemical full version I prefere Pepsi Max - Ergo coke kill babies*

    (That isn't actually true)

    American Pepsi is better than American Coca Cola but the opposite is very much the case over this side of the Atlantic.

    Also, for anyone that cares, they sell Cherry Coke in Boots. Yum!

    Coca-Cola FTW. Pepsi is fizzy swill. Worst of all is Pepsi Max - they take out the sugar (the best part) and call it MAX? It should be called Pepsi Min. Coca-Cola Zero is a joke as well. If you drink it, you're only fooling yourself.

    Fantastic. I'll have to wander in there at some point.

    I used to drink a lot of coke, but now I can't stand it. It coats your teeth with sh1te the moment you drink it, if I'm out and I drink coke, I can feel it there all night.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,589 ✭✭✭Hail 2 Da Chimp


    What the hell are you doing drinking coke on a night out?

    A real man would be mixing his vodka with Brandy!

    Dr. Peppers FTW!

    They had to do an independent punch test.
    "...number 1 hit me square in the jaw and definitely dislodged a few teeth. But number 2 went for the eye socket & snapped my head back nicely - all in all its a subjective thing..."

    Nice to see the radio stations are busy trawling the web for their research again.

    Anything other than Coca Cola is just muck, end transmission.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,082 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    If I need to stay awake I'll drink Pepsi over Coke.

    Seems to have more caffeine.

    Ehhh......Jolt cola beats Coke and Pepsi hands down:cool:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,045 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    But you can't get real jolt here any more :(

    Pepsi ftw.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,889 ✭✭✭Third_Echelon


    This does not surprise me... They really have a huge rivalry that is bred into every employee.

    Recently I was working in the States in the HQ office of one of the companies in question (consultancy for a week). A colleague who was there previously from my company, on the way to the office bought a bottle of water, which happened to be the water of the rival company. She didn't even think about what drink she was picking up in the shop. Anyway, she arrives into a meeting swigging from said rival water brand. She was asked to leave the building and not to come back.... Even though that they were having pretty serious problems and she was the only available person to fix it, she had to go.

    Also heard stories while I was there of people (permanent employees) being fired for drinking rival brands in the office etc...

    They are nuts when it comes to this type of stuff..

    Pepsi is just wrong, so very very wrong. I hope Coke man won the fight!

    Yeah, what ever happened to the 5+ cups of coffee equivalent? All i can find nowadays are these pansy x2 cans, no use to anyone.
    Pepsi ftw.

    I have to pull you on this one. I'm sorry to say you're wrong. Just wrong. I don't think I have the words to describe how hugely, vastly, mind-bogglingly wrong you are about your choice of cola.

    Unless, y'know, you'd go for proper Jolt over Pepsi. Then all is forgiven.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,045 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    Proper Jolt over pepsi everytime but pepsi over coke.


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 23,238 Mod ✭✭✭✭GLaDOS


    Pepsi 50% extra free ftw

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,854 ✭✭✭zuutroy


    TaB Clear, suddenly everything becomes clear...23p a can for its entire shelf-life in Ireland, circa '94


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,279 ✭✭✭DemonOfTheFall


    Coke Zero clearly.... Tastes like real coke, doesn't grow fur in your mouth...
