Next Year Rumors

Here in my neighborhood, Dr Pepper is made by Pepsi-Cola General Bottlers, but the Dr Pepper bottling system is like this... 40% Coke, 40% Pepsi, 20% RC/7up/independent. I hope the Coke rumor is true... but you never know!

Actually, the main ingrediant in Mountain Dew, and any other pop, is good ole natural WATER, not vegetable oil, You'd be drinking syrup.

LONG LIVE PEPSI!!!!!

Coke always tastes flat to me. Pepsi all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .....But Mr. Pib is better......... but who cares! PEPSI ALL DA WAY! as CP_Bound says, "LONG LIVE PEPSI"


alright, starting now post pepsi or coke and we'll see in the end how many people like Pepsi, it's a shame it had to come to this

"Your obssesed w/ that place aren't you?" (as stated by my best-friends about CP)

Mountain Dew which is owned by Pepsi, so....LONG LIVE PEPSI!!!!

Take all the polls you want, but Coke has always out sold Pepsi in the U.S. Thats the plain truth.

I thought it was just me but I met a couple people who also enjoy Dr. Pepper a little more than Coke or Pepsi. This is just that we think it tastes better not that Dr. Pepper should be CP's sponser. Ok.....I'm done with this post.

Personally, whether I'm at CP or Kennywood or a Steelers' game or a local eatery, I honestly don't notice what I'm drinking, Pepsi or Coke. Sometimes I'll take the time to notice what's on the menu and order accordingly, but most of the time, I say, "I'll have a Coke or Pepsi, whatever."

It may be a key issue for you all, but it doesn't bother me one way or the other.

Oh, and by the way, in a perfect world, there would be nothing but American Fare Cola :)

I only reason Coke sales figures show that they out sell Pepsi is that they include all resturant fountain drink sales. 85% of resturants in the US sell COke products because they are cheaper than Pepsi fountain products. In sales figures that only consider sales from you aor I going into a grocery store and buying a 12 pack or 2 liter, Pepsi out sells Coke. We did a study about this in my Senior Management Class at MSU. Companies spin figures to make themselves look better. Go figure.

CP_Bound: My comment was that a main ingredient 'in making Mt. Dew so smooth' was vegetable oil... not a main ingredient in the entire beverage. Mt. Dew goes down like no other pop, and it's because of the vegetable oil in it.

Mountain Dew (as well as Slice) contains brominated vegetable oil. That means the vegetable oil is combined with bromine or a bromine compound.

What is bromine? A heavy, volatile, corrosive, reddish-brown, nonmetallic liquid element, having a highly irritating vapor. It is used in producing gasoline antiknock mixtures, fumigants, dyes, and photographic chemicals.

I think I'll skip the Dew ;)

Gravity, I know, I was just being a smart @$$.;)

As a diabetic, the choice for me comes down to who has the better DIET drink.

Coke, all the way...

Actually, I like unsweetened iced tea, but only if it's real brewed tea, not reconstituted garbage. Which means that at most parks I'm drinking water or diet soda ;)

Whoever mentioned gyros was right on, too. There USED to be gyros near Disaster Transport, but they don't seem to be there anymore. Anyone know why? I was REALLY disappointed when I couldn't find them...

*Laugh* at Gemini. When I drink this stuff, I usually go for the Mt. Dew type stuff, mellow yellow, Mt. Dew, or Store brands, whatever, its all the same, all pretty gross. I got dehydration sickness at a county fair one time because I couldn't find a water fountain and all I could find to drink was this carbonated crap.

Cp needs Coke because Pepsi is not the right sponsor for Coasters because Coke was the soft drink of the 50's and not Pepsi. Coke has 65% of the fountain marketshare, while Pepsi only has 25%. Pepsi outsold Coke for a while because of the New Coke fiasco, but Coke regained its lead in 1986.

Changing from Pepsi to Coke actualy makes sense, considering that TGI Fridays has a chainwide agreement with Coca-Cola AND has become a notable part of the Cedar Fair resort operation.

Personally, I've been a bit disgusted with the Cedar Point/Pepsi thing ever since the changeover in 1992, and not just because I am a Coke drinker. In 1991, I think the menu boards had Coke logos on them; drinks were served in Cedar Point cups, some of which also had Coke logos on them; and all of the fountain heads had Coke logos. CP did not have vending machines at the time.

In 1992, they began serving Pepsi in Pepsi cups, the menu boards all had Pepsi logos, and that's just fine. But they also attached the Pepsi logo not only to Snake River Falls, but also to all the Snake River Falls merchandise. They also put these ugly cheap plastic banners all over the coasters...big Pepsi banners with stick-on letters to celebrate Cedar Point's roller coaster centennial. Those banners were ugly to begin with, but by the end of the season half of the letters had fallen off. And they put Pepsi logos on the information signs they planted in front of each coaster. It's almost like every capital improvement of any kind for the 1992 season had to have Pepsi's logo all over it.

Let's keep the soft drink logos where they belong: on the drinks, on the fountain heads, on the vending machines, and perhaps even on the menu boards. I don't even particularly object to the logos on and around Coasters, where it fits into the theming. But keep it off the rides. Those commemorative signs next to the coasters should have had park logos and ride logos, not Pepsi logos.

The same, by the way, goes for the Hoosier Hurricane at Indiana Beach. Get those @!#$! Coke logos off of those trains!

Don't even get me started on the whole sponsership thing. You want bad go to Disneyworld and stand in that small room with 75 other people and a screaming babie (there's always a sreaming babie) watching a 10 min. video on Kodak film before you go to Honey I Shurnk the Audience. Then we have Blackpool Pleasue Beach Pepsi Big One Max, Playstation the Ride or I think it's Icee the Ride now whatever.

Personally I love fountain Coke but hate Coke in a can, but it's the exact oppisite with Pepsi. Oh well some of us are never happy.
