[998] Letter to Poo Co... I mean, Pepsi Co.

Talk about today's strip, or anything about the comic in general. You can also talk about any of the characters... but don't expect a response. They're FICTIONAL, you guys... sheesh. :)

You have a point - "soda" just means "soda water" or " something with soda water (H2O + CO2) in it"...tho "soda" and "cola" are often used interchangeably with one another , or with "pop" in the north or with "coke" in the south (especially here in New Orleans, where "Pepsi" is considered a valid answer to the question "What kind of cokes does this store carry?" :shock: )

And 7UP is the only real clear :twisted: it's the classic "UNcola" if you remember their really old ads. I can't stand any variety of pepsi except for regular, I liked Red Fusion, and I stick with regular or decaf coke...well actually, i'll take MrPiBB over ANY if them any day, but it's not sold here except in fountains at Subway...>_<

and VA: I'm partial to canada dry myself ^_^

Mr. Pibb is the false Dr Pepper.
If I show up at your door, chances are you did something to bring me there.

Did someone say they've stopped production of Pepsi Blue? Bugger, I quite enjoyed it. Not for the reason that it tasted 'different', but that I was always guaranteed a steady supply of caffienated beverages at any LAN I attended, because nobody else would touch it once I dropped it in the esky :D

Damn it! The things I miss out hearing about in the land down under...
How long ago did this happen? Anyone have a link they can direct me to?

No, MrPiBB is Dr. Pepper's GOD O_O...sure, it's a blatant ripoff with a stronger taste, but I still like pibb better

I just found out on Monday that they stopped LiveWire, too. It wasn't due to bad sales, it was being marketed as a "Summer of 2003 only" deal. Oh well, I didn't really like it much anyway.
Everything has to fall apart sooner or later... might as well start now.

They haven't stopped Livewire yet, least not in Kansas. It's supposed to stop being produced middle of September.

Well, my boss said they had stopped it already. Maybe our store just isn't getting anymore shipments.
