I have found that the "better restaurants" around here, the ones
that don't have big Pepsi or Coke signs all over and tend to have
waiters/resses, tend to serve RC.  I always felt they did because
they got a better price.  The trouble with RC is that it is a
nothing cola -- the cola flavoring of Pepsi combined with the
sweetness of old Coke.

B.T.W. the Tektronix cafeteria here used to have both Pepsi and Coke
from the same fountain -- you could vote for your favorite every
day, but when NEW! Coke came out they droped the Pepsi!
