"Redneck" cola

>>19871836
dr pepper?

Big Soda is a billion dollar industry full of tragedy, death, despair, rape, and horrendously corrupt lobbying. Did you know Dr.Pepper was a real guy that had his home broken into, his kneecaps broken and his family killed in front of him for enjoying a can of A&W root beer in public once?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_Cola

Virgin decided to try its hand at the cola business. Taste test almost unanimously rated it better than Coca-cola and pepsi. The reason it left the market is still really unknown.

However, the most realistic rumor I've heard is the two monoliths got it taken off the market by threatening to remove their sodas from stores selling Virgin Cola. Coke and Pepsi are such household staples that losing them from your store impacts sales substantially.

Virgin Cola is the third you are talking about.

Wait I thought capitalism encourages a diversity of products? Why are there only two?

>>19873752
It's a brand of coca cola you fucking retard

>>19874109

How many "colas" do you need, moron? They already taste virtually the same. And fear not, if you need budget options (because $1 for a 2 liter is out of your price range) there is generic store cola and RC.

>>19871836
FANTA & RC COLA

Coca Cola is the only company allowed to import coca leaves into the United States through their subsidiary company Stephen Co. The cocaine is removed, but they still use the flavour of coca leaf. Fucking hypocrites

>>19874148

>wait why are there only two types of cola in based capitalist society?
>STFU YOU DON’T NEED ANYMORE; BE GLAD BASED PEPSI GAVE YOU ANYTHING AT ALL

Seethe

Friend of mine actually ran a soda company in the late 1980s he said the way the game is played its basically impossible to break a new soda into the market. The big companies completely dominate the supermarkets and tell them what to display.

>>19874186
Fanta is Coca-Cola Company.
Fanta was founded by Coca-Cola in Nazi Germany as a separate company to avoid trade tariffs the US had placed on Germany. After the war the two companies merged shortly thereafter.

>>19874205

There are 100 different brands and flavors of soda, nobody arbitrarily said there had to be 15 different major brands of one flavor "cola"

>>19871836
Soft drinks are garbage and terrible for you health. Drink water instead. Or don't. I work in an industry that profits off diabetic fatasses.

>>19874234

Thanks capitalism!

just because they use coca cola to distribute it in your homo country doesn't mean it belongs to Coca Cola. It's its own brand you retard.

>>19875456

>>19874109
Because the capitalist system also encourages the thwarting of competition. The less substitutes on the market, the more likely your product becomes a person's choice. This is a big reason why monopolies and duopolies are as profitable as they are. And in this modern age of finance, there's a constant growth obligation for companies so they need to grow every quarter or else be punished in the stock & bond markets. So the people in a capitalist society are encouraged to consume a diverse variety of products and consider all possible options, but when a company becomes large enough to exert power over the market they sell to, they will. It's a conflict of interest between those who demand products and those who supply them.

>>19871852

>>19873414
Monopolies are usually caused by governments too but no one will ever want to admit this

>>19873414
And it wouldn't be cola

>>19874195
I want to know what they do with the waste byproduct I might linger outside coca cola like a fucking moth until I figure it out

>>19871852

>>19875537
>Because the capitalist system also encourages the thwarting of competition
M8 it's the only one where competition can even remotely thrive, that's usually the source for why people like it or dislike it.

>>19871836
Is this thread about Kleros? You know this is a PNK board, right?

RC is around, also root beer probably superior. Personally.......I like diet coke, and at the top tab.....tab is like diet coke but with the mint taste of Pepsi. It was secretly coke trying to get Pepsi's market share as well....really not popular anymore. Still my favorite

Pepsi is rank. Far too sweet. Coke has a bite to it that really hits the spot if you're in the mood.
Here in the UK we have Irn Bru, too. That shit hits the spot.
Oh yes.

>>19876630
Anyone try the cola flavored Revive Kombucha? It’s fucking fantastic.

Holy fucking based enjoy your comrade cola

These things are so fucking good, if they stopped making them I don't know what I'd do. I buy a couple every time I go into walmart no matter what. I can't imagine going back to drinking shit with corn syrup in it.

>>19877034
this looks good i should try this.

ive been drinking lacroix because its carbonated sparkling soda water with a little flavor but no sugar or syrups or other crap

>>19876866
Kek

Imagine you find out they throw all the alkaloids in a trash bin

>>19877072

la croix costs too much, this shit is under $3 for a 12 pack. they have other flavors, lime is ok, grapefruit is ok, but the fucking crack berry is where it's at.

>>19873777
checked

>>19873465
>Dr Pepper is not owned by or controlled by Coke (Coca-Cola Company) in the USA. Coke bottlers that bottle Dr Pepper simply receive the ingredients and bottle it, same with distributors who distribute Coke products.
typical retarded bizlet

>>19872285
I remember virgin cola. Don't remember it being anything special, the blind taste test shilling was the main thing driving sales.

>>19871852
Ginger ale is the best

>>19871836
in croatia we have sky cola which was cheaper and when it comes to taste, it was bretty good. but they became jew faggots and made their products more expensive so fuck them

>>19875537

>>19875070
if you check wikipedia or whatever else you commie use and check coca cola company brands you will easily find Dr Pepper listed there you homoid commie subhuman faggot

and last but not least, Dr Pepper is not even a Cola but a soda drink while Coca Cola is a Cola because it had kola nuts

now fuck off commie retard that doesn't understand anything about economy

>>19879793
Irn Bru is English for Iron Bro?

*blocks your path*

>>19871923
Dr. Pepper is fucking disgusting. serves him right for being a disgusting nigger cola

>>19880017
Scots for iron brew

Aren’t natural monopolies a good thing? Like if a drink becomes so popular because everyone likes it? Why is that so bad?

>>19871836
It's called Dr Pepper you retard

>>19872285

Blind taste tests are always bullshit, that give very little regard to aftertaste

RC cola. Gt cola at Aldus (same thing)

>>19871836
The real cola

Any LIDL europoors here?

very few people would ever choose to drink this poison if it wasn't being marketed to consoomers faces constantly

I used to work for Cargill and saw how much Corn syrup Americans use in their soda. Its disgusting, farmers are subsidized to grow shitty GMO Frankencorn and then sell it to Cargill so they can make corn syrup. The government is literally indirectly subsidizing soda production. Big Ag is probably the most insideous and corrupt industry.

Doesnt amerifags have a dozen colas for each state? Here in europe every supermarket has their own budget cola(some of them are semi-nice) for 1/3 the price off a coca cola.

Lots of local "artisan colas" as well.

>>19881733
Yes we do, this thread is full of faggots

>>19881729
Ahem, the interests of business corporate elites and the US government are the same.
