DN Debates: Coke vs Pepsi

I’m just trying to go back to sleep but this is what my brain wants to do instead. 🙃 based almost entirely on vibes.

Mello gives me Pepsi vibes

Matt drinks Mountain Dew, and Mello says that makes him a pepsi girlie. So Matt says pepsi

Near doesn’t drink soda and therefore has no opinion, but has probably learned a bunch of facts about the coke vs pepsi feud and will talk about those when asked.

Ask Beyond coke or pepsi and he’s saying RC. That’s just the vibe I get from him.

I don’t think Misa really drinks soda but I feel like she’s done a modeling gig with Coke so if you see her drink soda it is indeed a Coke

L gives coke vibes. No reason to it.

Light doesn’t drink much soda, and I feel like if he does he’s more likely to grab a clear pop. But I think he’s a Pepsi person. Misa tries to convert him since she had the modeling gig but it doesn’t work.

I'm literally writing this with a slight fever, so don't mind the mistakes if there's more than usual-

Tw: brief mentioning of manipulation, stalking, and kidnapping

Imagine Cola VS Pepsi but with like representatives.

What I mean by that is basically the face of the brands fight over MC into drinking more of whatever soda.

Coca Cola is the bright, really nice guy. Who likes to...manipulate. He will do anything to achieve what he wants. It's true that the nice part of him is true, but sometimes it can be a facade for his intentions.

Meanwhile Pepsi is basically the Wendy's equivalent for soda. If you don't know, she's really sassy and will burn you (with insults, not literally). Oh but when she sees MC, she's all heart-eyes trying to get their attention.

Cola is partially ready to murder someone whenever he sees Pepsi being all lovey-dovey. His perfect personality is slowly breaking a little and he can't help but drag you to the corner to complain and whine about his jealousy.

Together, it's...chaos, to say the least. Pepsi is throwing every insult and profanity in existence to Cola. While Cola is smiling all happily, trying to be the "good one".

I would say Cola is more likely to kidnap than Pepsi since he has world-domination. He'll try to make MC stay with his overly-affectionate actions or straight up pull-up with the black card.

Pepsi is more likely to stalk MC, wanting to know everything about them. Even the most minor details, partially because she struggles to express her true thoughts sometimes.

I'm ending it here.

If you want more, you have to request. Unless if I get more ideas.

(Yes, I'm giving you full permissions to send in fucking yan soda requests).

High school AU where every character is a different brand of soda. Coke is the jock and Pepsi is the nerd. Definitely shipping them

Hi.

https://github.com/wubmush/splatfestering

I have written a Python script that generates endless potential Splatfests, both two-way and three-way. The Splatoon games should really incorporate something like this to extend their lifespan, since they only get support for under 2 years after their release. That leaves the night versions of the maps forever confined to Garry's Mod. What I'm saying is that, after support ends for Splatfests with custom models and dialogue, they should continually generate, say, one Splatfest per month at random, using generic models and dialogue. That would be good.

I tried to fit the tone of the games, so nothing political or offensive. I have included popular culture references, however, only from one brand at a time (so Jedi vs Sith is fine, but Coca-Cola vs Pepsi is not, no since two third-party companies would logically agree to have a popularity contest between them).

Staaay relatively fresh, I guess!

Bottlegate and Cola Wars, I Can't Take it Anymore!

A few weeks ago, I wrote a blogpost about the Viceroy rule in NASCAR, and one thing I cut from it was a brief discussion of the Cola Wars in NASCAR. This week, I'm tackling that issue, along with its sports drink offshoot: the bottle wars between Gatorade and Powerade.

So, to review from the Viceroy blog, while NASCAR banned sponsors that clashed with series sponsors, it did not ban competing sponsorships among different teams - in fact, it encouraged it. Thus, Pepsico got involved with Hendrick Motorsports quite famously, initially with a number of Jeff Gordon Pepsi cars, and more recently with Mountain Dew cars from the likes of Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Chase Elliott.

That came to an end after 2020, and come 2023, Chase Elliott would be scooped up by the competition: the Coca-Cola Family of Drivers.

Peaking in the late 90s/early 2000s, the Coke family once consisted of (circa 2003/2004) Steve Park, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Michael Waltrip, Bobby Labonte, Tony Stewart, Bill Elliott, Ricky Rudd, John Andretti, Kyle Petty, Kevin Harvick, Dale Jarrett, Elliott Sadler, Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch, and Jeff Burton.

That's the entire three-car lineup of Dale Earnhardt Inc., both JGR cars, both Petty Enterprises cars, both Yates cars, the Wood Brothers car, Kevin Harvick who succeeded the late Dale Earnhardt at RCR, and 60% of the Roush Racing lineup.

Coke wasn't fucking around.

Unfortunately, Pepsi had Jeff Gordon.

Well, they also sponsored Jeremy Mayfield with Mountain Dew at this time, plus Pepsi/Gatorade had deals with Jeff's Hendrick Motorsports teammates (most prominently Jimmie Johnsons) as well as the other two Roush drivers in the form of Matt Kenseth and Mark Martin, plus Ryan Newman of Penske, but Jeff Gordon is the most relevant one for the first part of this story.

That's because the Cola Wars in NASCAR came to a head at Daytona International Speedway on July 3rd, 2004 for the Pepsi 400.

Coca-Cola was promoting their new Coca-Cola C2 (essentially a soda halfway between Coke and Diet Coke by the sounds of it) brand, and they sponsored an armada of cars in this race:

John Andretti in the DEI #1 Chevy,

Greg Biffle (who won the 2003 Pepsi 400) in the Roush National Guard #16 Ford.

Tony Stewart in the Joe Gibbs Racing Home Depot #20 Chevy.

Ricky Rudd in the Wood Brothers #21 Ford.

Kevin Harvick in the RCR GM Goodwrench #29 Chevy.

Kurt Busch in the Roush Sharpie #97 Ford.

Bill Elliott in his self-owned #98 Dodge.

and Jeff Burton in the Roush #99 Ford.

Coke had eight bullets in the gun to steal the thunder right out from Pepsi's flagship race - in what Pepsico pointed out was a blatant marketing stunt - however, like I said...Pepsi had Jeff Gordon.

John Andretti would crash out, Greg Biffle would end up a lap down, Jeff Burton in twenty-sixth, Bill Elliott eighteenth, Ricky Rudd seventeenth, Kevin Harvick fourteenth, while Tony Stewart in fifth and Kurt Busch in fourth were closest to pulling off Coke's marketing upset.

Unfortunately, none of them could stop Jeff Gordon from winning from pole in his DuPont/Pepsi #24 for Hendrick Motorsports.

It was the biggest moment of the Cola Wars, but 2004 had another Pepsi vs. Coke battle going on at the same time: Bottlegate.

You see, despite the Viceroy rule normally stopping this kind of stuff, in 2004, NASCAR decided to have Gatorade (Pepsi) sponsor victory lane, while Powerade (Coke) bottles would be placed on the roof of the winning cars. How the hell was this allowed to happen? Well, despite the France family running both NASCAR and the International Speedway Corporation, at this time, NASCAR had a deal with Coke and ISC had a deal with Pepsi - the same people in the guise of two different companies signed deals with two rival brands. Of course this was going to cause issues.

Pepsi did not want their drivers in their victory lane photographed with bottles of a Coca-cola owned sports drink.

Thus, Bottlegate began.

Matt Kenseth, Mark Martin, Ryan Newman, Jeff Gordon, and Jimmie Johnson were all sponsored by Pepsi, thus, as soon as they got out of the car in victory lane, they would punch and/or sweep the bottles off the roof, instantly getting Coke products out of the pictures...which pissed off Coca-cola a lot.

They were paying good money just to see drivers knock over their product!

So, after the Pepsi 400, with the aforementioned embarrassment of Coca-cola, NASCAR made a rule banning drivers from punching the bottles off the cars.

Coke drivers won the next two races with Tony Stewart winning at Chicagoland and Kurt Busch winning at New Hampshire.

But then Pepsi's Jimmie Johnson won at Pocono on August 1st.

Well, instead of punching the bottles, Jimmie calmly got out of the car, received a giant cardboard Lowe's sign from someone on his crew, and placed it in front of the Powerade bottles.

I love this stuff, this is generational pettiness over here, the Coke guys and the Pepsi guys each trying to make the other brand look bad, it's great!

Unfortunately, Coke and NASCAR didn't seem to think so, because Jimmie Johnson was fined $10,000 over the sign incident.

So yeah, this was NASCAR in the 2000s, where corporate money was everywhere and there were enough sponsorships going around that the drivers, the tracks, and the series all had separate deals to have to worry about. Hell, three Roush drivers were with Coke and the other two were with Pepsi - compare that to nowadays where the vending machines at RFK Racing are from Fastenal.

How the hell am I supposed to drink a wrench?

Can I get a very random Lacrimosa fun fact?? :3

Have two!! :3 a modern fact and an in-story fact:

If Lacrimosa were alive today and HAD to settle the Pepsi vs Coca Cola debate, she would choose Pepsi. No questions asked.

She has a daughter named Clementine (Emmy for short) but she chose that name because she had a fondness for clementines when she was younger. Emmy’s middle name “Atlas” was well…yknow. ;)
