Soft drink competitors

Poor Pepsi! In the America’s Favorite Soft Drink ranking (according to sales), Pepsi’s just been bumped from the second-place spot. The soft drink has long had to play second fiddle to Coca-Cola’s first place spot, but now it doesn’t even hold that honor.
But it gets worse for ol’ Pepsi–not only has it lost its ranking but it’s been replaced with its arch rival’s partner, Diet Coke. Ouch! TheWall street general is reporting that data is expected to reveal that “U.S. sales of Diet Coke overtook those of Pepsi-Cola for the first time in 2010″, a coup which would (obviously) make Coca-Cola pretty pleased with itself.
