You're right, of course.  Only we old folks, who have nostalgic memories of
Coca Cola mixed with everything from castor oil to vanilla ice cream
(though my SO likes it with salt water, the only way she can drink it in
her tank) like Coke, because it reminds us of Marthasville and
Terminus.  Pepsi is the choice of a new generation.  Of course, this is the
second generation who it is the choice of; before that it was "for those
who think young." As I mentioned, those people, who didn't have the moxie
to drink Coke in the first place, eventually matured, became content with
their age and with mellower and richer flavors, and now drink Coke.  So
Coke has a bright future ahead when all you young people get to be 99 or
so.* That is why the Classic Coke commercials play a song you young people
wouldn't remember, "Happy Days are Here Again," which you all think is the
anthem of the Democratic Party. (Well, that's not as bad as the folks who
think their digital watches play Elvis Presley's "Love me Tender," I guess.
But then, they probably don't understand what the 10, 2, and 4 stand for,
either.)

*Except the folks in California, who by that time will have their coke
flavored with lime.
