Strangely enough, the converse is not the case...I have eaten in restaurants
which serve Sprite (my friend asked for 7-Up) and Pepsi (I always ask for
Coke).  Also...just how much of the Pizza Hut chain is owned by Pepsico?  Our
local one was a bit on the schizophrenic side last summer...after years of
Pepsi, it somehow ended up serving Coke at least on one occasion (gosh, and
only the time is remembered to ask for a Pepsi.  Whaddya mean 'Is Coke OK?')

At least they ask you first at a Pizza Hut.
