I think the whole hype surrounding these two things is utter rubbish. These companies if they dont spend on ads they would become the richest in the world. EACH BOTTLE OF COKE OR PEPSI COSTS JUST 1 Re. 30p TO THE COMPANIES The rest of the cash they earn goes into ad revenues and other marketing stunts.
Better than these drinks is the refreshing Maaza or Mangola from Coco-Cola and Dukes respectively.They come without that gas and really make u feel refreshing. Or one can try the fruit juices also from Tropicana or Real. They are actually good.
