Speaking as the resident "Coca-Cola Widow", I can tell you this is just scratching the surface. Big Coke employs a HUGE chunk of GA, so mentioning the "P-word" is spoiling for a fight to some people.
Even in the Houston office, the correct terminology for that soft drink is "The other company" or "The competition." These people are NOT joking when it comes to marketing!!
Good thing we already like Coke/Minute Maid products or we'd have to build a speakeasy for our soda.
