Guest faceoff Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 Does anybody know if Kings Island will switch to Pepsi for the 2008 season? Quote
PKIVortex Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 Only time will tell. All of the Paramount Parks have Coke, and signed a contract for X many of years to serve Coke. However as the park is not owned by Paramount/CBS anymore, I don't know if Cedar Fair can get out of the contract. Also I'm not sure how it works if they do decide to switch to Pepsi, will they have to buy new machines are are the machines like leased to the park to use, while they sell there product. I would love to have Mountain Dew though in KI. Quote
Pagoda Gift Shop Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 I'd say it's only a matter of time until Pepsi rules. How long though is anybody's guess. Quote
Tuskin Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 Pepsi Products are better anyway.... Pepsi is more giving to the people as well. My grandparents run a small grocery store and Coke treats stores like crap. They do nothing for them and couldnt give to cents for them. Ill always be a supporter of Pepsi ALWAYS Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 How about some specific examples to back up those claims? How has Coke abused their store? Quote
Tuskin Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 They dont listen to what my grandpa tells them .. hey we need this product we have been selling a lot of it .. and they say yeah well ur not a big store so we dont care ull get what we give you Basically giving them the shaft they get whats left over or what they want to give us we cant order some things that we need most .. thats prbly a good enough example by itself .. im not trying to start any fight here with Coke lovers but .. I for one because of incidents such as that will NEVER drink any Coke product ever again!!!! Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 Never heard of them doing that to a small business before, if so, thats a shame as Coke is known for being a traditional american product you could always find in those classic small stores all over the country. Personally, I prefer Pepsi over Coke as far as taste goes, but don't drink any soda much anymore. Quote
Tuskin Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 I agree id would not of thought of Coke to do that either but they have done a lot to the small store as of late according to my grandpa. They dont care that much about them anymore cause they dont make them as much money I guess. Quote
Dvo Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 In terms of cola, I'd say that Coke has a better taste. Pepsi is a little more sweet. However... I like all of Pepsi's other products a LOT more than Coke's other products. Primarily because of Mt. Dew Though Sierra Mist is just as good as Sprite IMO. Quote
fan of beast Posted November 26, 2007 Posted November 26, 2007 i bet a lot of people at cw and kd would go thru the roof if they lost their Coke. Quote
The Interpreter Posted November 26, 2007 Posted November 26, 2007 Somehow, at $3.39 and $3.59, I suspect a lower price product of any cola variety would be greatly appreciated by most guests. A few Coke salespeople would notice, but most of the public really doesn't care what beverage is available. They DO care about price... Quote
DropZone99 Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 I very much prefer Pepsi, i refuse to drink Coke... it's nasty! Goes flat in a day. I like all Pepsi products better than Coke's, well Sierra Mist and Sprite taste the same but i ove that Sierra Mist Cranberrie! I don't care if it costs more i would pay alot more just to have a better drink. Quote
SonofBeastAddict Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 I would be quite happy to see Pepsi products appear. I don't buy soft drinks in the park because I just don't like Coke products... I just keep a stocked cooler in my car. Quote
raptor Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 Please no, I love Coke, Pepsi tastes like sh__, of course that's the way most businesses go, because they can get Pepsi cheaper, and that's just what it is cheaper, However if they must I just pray they have Dr Pepper the one redeeming Pepsi product, This is why I wish I could bring my own drink in places, it's not that I mind getting totally ripped off, but I want a drink I can stand the taste of. Quote
The Interpreter Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 Dr Pepper is NOT a Pepsi product. In some areas, it may be distributed by the same distributor that distributes Pepsi, but it is NOT a Pepsi product. Cadbury Schweppes plc would not be amused! Go to http://www.drpepper.com and pick About Us, then read the last paragraph.... Quote
adventure2007 Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 Sorry to go against the grain here but I myself would rather drink Coke any day. I have never really been a big Pepsi fan. I remember drinking Coke even as a kid and thinking how much better it tasted. Quote
raptor Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 well places that carry Pepsi products usually have dr pepper, I knew that Pepsi couldn't have something that good. Quote
