Have you ever been in a restaurant and ordered a Coke where they don't serve Coca Cola? They tend to respond with, "Is Pepsi OK?"I often wondered what ever got that whole "Is Pepsi OK?" thing started. Are Coke drinkers known to be so brand loyal that drinking a Pepsi is tantamount to treason? What would a server do if you answered 'no'? As in no, Pepsi is not OK. Do places that only sell Coke apologize to Pepsi drinkers when they ask for a Pepsi? I ask because I've never been in that situation.

As the occasional Pepsi drinker, I refuse to take a Coke when offered as a replacement.....is that the same thing?
I guess so.
I hate Pepsi, I find it has a weird sickly taste and I'm always grateful when the server mentions if it's Pepsi rather than bring it to me and I have to discover it for myself and then have to say I'm sorry I won't drink this. Yeah, I know, it's a silly thing to be picky about, but I'm a silly person. I think it's a nice when they give me the heads up so I can order something else.

"Is Pepsi Ok?"
I say no and ask for an Iced Tea instead.
I understand entirely. I'm really not a fan of Pepsi but it appears (at least over here in the UK) that more and more establishments are moving away from Coke. It's just not acceptable! :)
