I wouldn’t really call it an overruling. I guess, arguably, you could say that it belonged in IMHO. However, once people started going off the deep end with your commie pinko red cans and your backward conservative states and what have you, it pretty much delegated itself to MPSIMS.
I liken drinking Coke to a 40 in a paper bag. You just need what you need, really fast.
Pepsi is like a fine liquer. It’s got a flavor that’s beyond raw caffeine. What’s the word I’m looking for…? Oh yeah. Sugar.
Oh my, I needed the laugh this thread has given me.
I would be a Dr Pepper drinker if they were easy to find in diet form (in the UK). But I drink both Coke and Pepsi, whichever has a special offer on at the time. Does that make me a coke whore?
And with Viagra-bonered war hero and Republican stalwart Bob Dole.
OTOH they also lure youth with that Colombian-Arabic blend of bleached slutpuppyness and lozenge-deprived throatiness, Shakira. call it covering all your bases…
This is exactly the kind of story the vast right wing conspiracy wants to foist on the public.
“You’re either with us or against us.” Need more proof?
If you notice, the red Coke can only represents the red states of the country that went for Bush (including the Supreme Court decided Florida, which just happens to be next door neighbor to Coke’s HQ.)
The red, white and blue Pepsi includes both the red Bush States and the Blue Gore states. An all inclusive beverage.
“Uniter, not a divider.” Ha! Coke is driving a wedge through this great nation of ours.
Now let’s take a closer look.
What is used in a Cuba Libre?

“…During the Spanish-American War in the late 1800’s American soldiers took Coca-Cola®, a new soft drink, with them in the fight for Cuban independence. At that time a new drink was created- the “Cuba Libre”, the freedom of Cuba drink, which consisted of Coca-Cola®, BACARDI® rum, and a lime wedge.”
So, doesn’t “Iraqi Freedom” sound all too familiar?
Coincidence??? I think not!
(that’s what I meant: if everyone starts ranting and swearing up a storm, the Mods will have to move it Pit-wards, earning this thread an award for Most Forums Visited By a Thread at this year’s Cecil Awards!)
Alas, my poor thread! Scorned, abused, orphaned. Cast by heartless moderators from forum to forum, finally to be exiled in the Place of the Mundane and the Pointless, the Leper Colony of the SDMB.
So be it. I go now to the river, to perform the Ancient Tasmanian Ritual of Self-Abasement, accompanied by a Chorus of Bitter Virgins, intoning Dirges of Woe and Humiliation.
You see, luce, m’man, the problem seems to be staring at us right out in the open. You’re performing self-abasements, and the virgins are (a) bitter and (b) virgins. Connect the, um, dots, 'cause it sounds to me y’all could be a mutual answer to your woes…
Let’s move it to ATMB first and then the pit. So uh, if I wanted to make a practice post concerning Nazi moderators who banned the Hamburgler while drinking RC Cola, would the hamsters be drinking Coke or Pepsi and would Ed Zotti be involved?
