      Coca Cola never had Cocaine in it, it had regular Coca! The same Coca leaves and Coca tea that's still sold legally in many part of South America.
      To conflate Coca with Cocaine is like conflating Poppy seeds with Heroin or Opium. Poppy seeds and food made with it are sold all over the world and it's not the same as Opium.

    As a literal former crack cocaine addict, I just realized how shockingly similar the sound of Coca Cola being poured on ice cubes is...to the sound of a rock of crack being melted onto the screen of the crack pipe. And I should say that crack has all of the fun and none of the sugar of Coke, so for those of you looking to lose weight? Could be an option.

    Coca Cola are masters of marketing, no doubt about that.
    I truly can't see a brand with more engaging commercials and marketing campaigns. Coca-Cola is everywhere, the freezers, the businesses' facades, product placements at point of sales, toys and collectibles, fashion. It's just part of culture.
    The polar bears, the Christmas trucks with lights, the Santa Claus.
    Can you go one day without seeing their logo?
    But Pepsi is just a beverage brand among the myriad of food and snack brands in Pepsico portfolio, they got all the other stuff that go with Coca Cola: Cheetos, Lays, Ruffles, chocolates, candies. So in a way, it's not bad for Pepsi to have Coca-Cola selling a lot, cause they join the band wagon by selling the food that often goes alongside Coca-Cola consumption.
    And, it's funny that Pepsi sponsors Lionel Messi and Coca Cola sponsors the Argentinian national team. Just like Adidas sponsors Messi and he plays for Nike sponsored clubs. He should have gone to Manchester United hahaha
