That's why I say you can never go wrong with water

They took one drug (cocaine) out of Coke and put a different drug (Sugar) in...

My grandmother was born in 1923 and I remember her drinking a lot of Pepsi. She loved Pepsi and I remember asking her. Why does she love Pepsi more than Coca-Cola and she told me Pepsi was the drink for Black people and I never understood it until watching this short video, I am quite sure she was influenced by the ads and the support of Pepsi but thank you for the brief history lesson. I love you Granny still I still think about you every day. R.I.P💙

It's amazing that, even without the cocaine, they invented a temperance drink which was actually more harmful to your health than alcohol 🤣

The history on high fructose corn syrup within these products is the real tradegy

Thanks so much!! This was fascinating but kinda sad for me. I’m from Atlanta. And my mom worked at Coca Cola’s downtown corporate headquarters for my entire childhood, so many a Saturday, that skyscraper was my playground. 1/3 of my clothes, toys and whatnot had a Coca Cola logo. I went to Six Flags every Fall though Coca Cola. So whenever Coca Cola vs Pepsi debates popped off, sometimes I entered those debates with a lil too much energy. THEN as I got older my mom told me of the racism and sexism she’d endured for decades. And in recent years I learn more and more of the wild history of a company that I’d felt practically raised me. All that said, I really appreciate you for this video.

Both sodas are not healthy to drink because of the ingredients in them!
It’s better for all of us to drink spring water; and alkaline water; and teas!

The evil of these people never rest. Their horrific obsession of us is so crazy!

All American businesses behave the same way towards African American customers, they see it was a resource for profit. In reality the sad thing is, sugar drinks, drugs ave alcohol are negative issues with the black community we we as a people need to boycott all unhealthy sugar drinks, fatty fried foods, smoking and livel a cut back on alcohol consumption, and exercise more, and lead a healthy lifestyle.

Who would’ve guessed a company founded an ex confederate soldier would have a racist history.

My family never drank coke products. This is probably why. I'm convinced coke still has a small amount of cocaine.

I remember as a kid in the early 90's, Pepsi had a booth set up inside a grocery store in my Black neighborhood one day. While my mother was shopping, they waved me over and had me do a blind taste test. I picked the sweeter one and preferred it for years, which was Pepsi.
I was six.

What company that predates the 1960s would this not be the case? Probably can count on one hand.

We grew up drinking Pepsi exclusively in my Black household. I always thought it was a regional thing. Thanks for the info.

[MissInformer]

Now it makes sense why every house I went to as a kid had Pepsi as the soda if they had soda. I didn't really get into coca cola until I moved more North, but I still traded it out for cheerwine because coke is just kinda gross to me. Good to know my body knew something I didn't.

Both companies have been giving us diabetes ever since 😅😅

[kenwigginsii]

Grew up drinking Pepsi in Detroit. Didn’t drink coke as much. Glad I didn’t. I live in the south today. Georgia by the way. Pepsi is here, but it’s Coke country. Thanks for the not surprising racist history lesson. Next product?

My grandma was a Coca Cola lover til the day she died. And I asked her why I remember her telling me, it use to have crack in it 😂 I never believed it. Well I’ll be damned. Go head on then granny lol

[sunii]

My mom told me that back in the day, BP drank RC cola. 🤔🙎
