Coke was created in the south (Atlanta) and they own the south, especially the south east. They basically sponsor everything here. You get a banner made for an event, coke is on the left and right side of it, you have no choice. You go to highschool here all the machines are coke, the score board of your school is coke, the championship teams have equipment bought by them, they come to your school and give anti drug programs ever year. When they made to much Surge drinkk for their olympics add campaign they dumped it off on all the local highschools for free, just pulled up trucks and started unloading the stuff and let the kids tear into it, take as much as you want. The ONLY reason we even have pepsi down here is because it owns Taco Bell/KFC/Pizza Hut and even there we ask for coke and no one says anything.
So THAT'S why every soda down here is coke, because they own everything, very smart on their part.
Not uncommon for a major brand name to become the household name for everything in that industry. How many of you call every electric hand saw a Sawzall just because Milwalkee made the best one and everyone loves that brand?
