This is a non-sequitor: " One example of a heated exchange that occurred during the Cola Wars was Coca-Cola making a strategic retreat on July 11, 1985 by announcing its plans to bring back Coke Classic."

It's actually two different thoughts. (1) There were heated exchange (2) At a certain point, it looked like Coca-Cola was losing.

[edit] Expansion tag

I tagged this article for expansion. I think there is a featured article waiting to be written here. Youngamerican 16:03, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Aggressive Pepsi vs. Flowery Coke?

Throughout the nineties and until today, I never saw a Coke ad bashing Pepsi, but a huge number of Pepsi ads bash Coke... Could we mention that somehow? I was too young in the 80s to know if this was also the case then. -newkai | talk | contribs 18:49, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Another note on the commercials is that every coke-bashing commercial Pepsi puts out, they use Coke's logo, but never have a visible disclaimer anywhere. Slokunshialgo 00:11, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV

I added this tag since the first few paragraphs of the article are NOT about the cola wars, rather, they are about Pepsi. Also, they show Pepsi in positive only light, and don't mention Coke much at all, and don't mention other types of colas. Hires an editor 19:24, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

I have re-added this tag as the article still only talks about Pepsi's success, and if I did not know otherwise, I would believe, after viewing this article, that Pepsi is indisputably way more popular and successful than Coke. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Twipie (talk • contribs) 06:18, 15 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Fanta

shouldnt fanta orange be included under cokes' orange drink section?

Is their an equivelent Pepsi brand? I changed orange drink to orange juice. Fanta and the other brand should be added under a new row called orange soda. Koweja 19:26, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

On the Polish market (I live in Poland) Pepsi's equivalent of Fanta is Mirinda, although I don't know if it exists on other markets. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.2.99.36 (talk) 19:38:19, August 19, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dr. Pepper is not made by Pepsi

Though it is distributed by them in amny markets. I've editted the article to remove mention of Dr. Pepper. A shame, too, as I wanted to change Pibb to Mr. Pibb, but instead I'm removing the link entirely. Oh well. 216.229.65.171 08:15, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 7 up

7 Up is the main Lemon Lime product from Pepsi. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_up

[edit] Pie

Pie is good. The good pie, not the pie that comesfrom rhinos. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.168.243.202 (talk) 22:09, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
