May 3, 2007, 4:55 a.m.The web of lies our great nation finds itself ensnared in gets even webbier with this just breaking news that even the Cola Wars, long held up as an example of a "just war" may have been based on faulty assumptions and outright falsification.

May 3, 2007, 8:45 a.m.I have known this whole time that this was a setup. Remember the commercial of a monkey taking the sip test and his third choice was a tennis ball and he chose the tennis ball. The lies!

May 3, 2007, 12:42 p.m.I can hardly put this into words. Are people truly upset because they think they might not have an accurate idea of what people thought of a soft drink 20 years ago?
Jeez, go pop open a Coke and Pepsi and make the decision yourself. Me, personally, would rather have a Mt. Dew... but if I had to choose, Pepsi wins hands down.

May 3, 2007, 12:45 p.m.My husband and I are on two opposite sides on this issue. I never cared for Pepsi and he loves it. He will be devastated to know I was right yet again. :~)

There should be no craven sodas before me.
You shall worship the corporate red, white and BLUE.
Do not besmirch my name.
Remember me everyday and partake.
Honor the brand name.
Do not waste Pepsi, there are thirsty kids all over the world.
You will not drink Coke.
You should always pay for your Pepsi.
Never tell lies about Pepsi.
Never covet your neighbor's or his wife's Pepsi.
Never drink your neighbors Pepsi without permission.

May 3, 2007, 3:50 p.m.My name is Johnny;
I drink Mr. Pibb.
It was just a few sips at parties at first; no biggie.But soon it started becoming a regular thing,ya know??? soon I went from a can here, a glass of draught at the fountain, to my first six pack.
Then I bought a two-liter bottle.From there a case.
It began altering my daily life; soon I could burp the'ABCs'
followed by "Casey at the Bat". Family and friends began to avoid me.(Although the neighborhood kids would sit nearby when I went Pibbing in the park, knowing that soon I would do something totally against societies rules, like belching the theme to "Cheers")
Oh, they thought he can't get any worse.....wrong.
I started mixing.
I learned the exact proportions of Bacardi-151 to add to my Pibb; making me a totally disreputable chugger. Before I got to whatever event I was trying to crash, I would fastchuggle

May 3, 2007, 4:54 p.m.I am NOT surprised. Once again "the man" is the great racist exploiter. Why Pepsi and Coke? What color are they? BLACK! Why did we never hear of the whole milk versus skim wars? Because milk is white. The man just loves pitting black against black.

May 3, 2007, 7:15 p.m.Hi Slappy Sally!!!
Did your last soda-fart have more 'substance ' than you anticipated??
Did you lose your race to the bathroom???
Did you wander around the parking lot wondering how you could drive home without actually sitting???
Here's a buck. Call someone else; cause I don't give a crap!!!

May 4, 2007, 8:23 a.m.Word has it that Pepsi will introduce the "New Pepsi" & people will rush to store to buy the old Pepsi,later to be renamed "Pepsi Classic". In swift retaliation Coke will re-introduce the new coke as "New Coke Classic", only to take it off the market again in six months.

May 4, 2007, 9:07 a.m.If Coke goes back to the Original recipe, it will be no question of which is better. The original recipe will also help the Columbian economy.
