Lol my brother is a coke guy. Took him out for his birthday and he's in the bathroom when server came over for drink orders. My brother usually interrogates them if it's real coke which seems kind of over the top so I just said "do you have actual coke?" and got a yes so ordered it for him. He sits down and I'm like I made sure it was coke for you! He takes a sip— it's Pepsi lmao.

Still not as funny as the time we were on vacation in a Pepsi area. Couldn't even find coke in the gas stations. We visit a ye olde touristy shopping center done up like the 1950s. Coke paraphernalia everywhere. I'm like great we can finally get you a coke! Go in a store, all the coolers are coke aesthetic, he's excited. —It's all Pepsi.

It's hard up out there lmao. (I understand the frustration though, did once have a meltdown after a lot of driving because I couldn't get tea anywhere that wasn't a cheap grocery store teabag at best lol just want good tea before doing another 8hrs straight driving. Ended up angrily making my own in the parking lot like a madwoman lmfao)

I'm a coke guy but will drink Pepsi in restaurants. I've never seen a "convenience" store that only had Pepsi. It doesn't sound very convenient to me.

Was the most weirdly aggressively Pepsi only area I've ever been in haha now I try to make sure we grab him a six pack when we go anywhere new juuuust in case. Haven't run into the situation a second time fortunately lol
