Either I like the drink or I do not. Over the past few years, I have come to like the taste of Coca Cola better than Pepsi, anyway. I must say, I do not anticipate buying a soda based on the label.

See, for example. AT&T. Kevin - I drink Coke when I'm forced to in a restaurant. I'm familiar with how much I don't like it. But keep trying. Someday, New New Coke might emerge to capture my fancy. ;-) The good news about the new Pepsi logo is that they DIDN’T go for the cliched fake 3-d globe looking thing that everyone else has gone with.

It's so tasty and delicious over here. Coke won't go changing on you. Except for new Coke, but we don't talk about that.

I was just getting used to the current ones and they change again! I remember when they redesigned the Pepsi logo, what? twenty years ago?

The "Mountain Dew" being labelled "Mtn Dew" just rubs me the wrong way. In my eyes, you don't use shorthand or netspeak for trademarked names ( and do we have to further contribute to the dumbing down of Americans by not knowing how to spell ? ). As for the new "Pepsi" logo/symbol, I hate it - it reaks of fake high-tech futurism. I somehow doubt that it gives off the "comforting" vibe that drinks like "Pepsi" and "Coke" want to give off ( and erases any "nostalgia" characteristic that does attract repeat drinkers.
