I've seen the red Coke cups since I was a kid, but not blue Pepsi ones.

We found a place in… North Carolina maybe? That had red Coke cups but only served Pepsi.

When asked, they said something about how Pepsi was going to charge them for their cups so they kept using the Coke ones. When asked why they stopped selling Coke, they said something about how Coca-Cola was giving them way less money than before so they switched to Pepsi.

I don’t remember much else about that place other than they had AMAZING chicken.

The American east coast is an adventure.

It's always a disappointment to see the blue Pepsi cups.

"Is Pepsi ok?" "NO!!! NOTHING IN MY LIFE IS OK!!!" runs off sobbing

"........I don't think that was about the Pepsi."

Maybe it was the Pepsi

I like the color blue better than red, even though I prefer Coke over Pepsi. That said, I prefer Mt Dew (owned by Pepsi) over both. Well, diet Dew these days, but still.
