Sunset's Soda Situation
“Tsk, tsk,” said Pinkie. “To think I could’ve called you a friend.”
Pinkie is a fan of Pepsi. To her, Pepsi is superior to every other soft drink.
Disagree? I don’t think she could care less. Her love for the drink had become something of an addiction. A few words of disagreement won’t throw her off.
“So, because I don’t like Pepsi, we can’t be friends anymore?”
“That’s how it works,” she said, gulping down another can.
“Are you serious?”
“Look at me.” Pinkie looked straight into my confused eyes. “Do these look like the eyes of mercy?”
“Are we still talking about soft drinks?” I asked. “Listen, don’t you think everyone is entitled to their own opinion?”
“Sure I do!” she said with a grin. “Just not when it comes to Pepsi.”
“Coca-Cola came first, you know,” I stated condescendingly. “Pepsi is just a follow-up.”
“Mt. Dew is much better than Mellow Yellow,” said Pinkie.
“W-Well, Sprite has fewer grams of sugar.”
“Heh. Only 2 grams,” said Pinkie. “Besides, sugar is what I live on.”
“That’s not healthy.”
“Neither is consuming filth,” said Pinkie. “You seem to be fine, though.”
“Wow, Pinkie,” I said. “They don’t even really taste that different.” At that, Pinkie Pie burst into genuine laughter. She didn’t stop until she was hanging upside from the chair she was sitting on prior.
“Man, Sunset,” she said through her laughter. “You’re such a crack-up.” At that, I threw my hands up into the air and turned around.
“Okay, Pinkie Pie,” I said, storming out of the music room. “Whatever.”
I continued storming until I ran into Canterlot Twilight, who was sitting outside, reading a book. I walked right up to her and sat on the bench. She looked over at me with a skeptical look before taking a deep breath and closing her book.
“Are you okay?” she asked. “You seem… agitated.”
“It’s Pinkie Pie,” I said. “She keeps talking crap.”
“Well, what did she say?”
“She keeps saying that Pepsi is better than Coke,” I said. “That’s fine but-”
“Oh,” said Twilight with a smile. “That’s because it is.”
“Are you serious?” I asked. “So you think I can’t have an opinion either?”
“Oh, no. I’m not saying that at all.” She adjusted her glasses. “You can have an opinion...even if it is wrong.”
“But it’s an opinion!” I yelled. “I can like whatever I wanna like!”
“Again, I’m not saying you can’t,” she said. “I’m just saying you are slowly becoming inferior with every sip.”
“Enough of this,” I said, getting up to continue my march away. “Why is everyone being so difficult today?”
While asking myself this question, she stumbled upon a game in Canterlot High’s field. Rainbow Dash seemed to be going up against four other guys, which was impressive. She crossed two over and shot the ball, bypassing the next two and scoring her the goal.
“That’s game, kids,” she said, retrieving the ball. “Better luck next time.”
“That was pretty sick, Dash,”I said, fist bumping her. “Where’d you learn to play soccer?”
“I’ve been playing this game since I was a kid, barely able to walk,” said Rainbow, balancing the ball on her head. “Uncle’s the one who showed me how.”
“That’s pretty cool,” I said. “You mind if I chill out here for a while?”
“Sure,” said Rainbow Dash, dropping the ball to the ground. “If you’re thirsty, I got a cooler over there.” I eyed the cooler.
“What’s in it?”
“Sport’s drinks and the like,” she said. “What, were you expecting soda?”
“Not really, actually,” I said. “You don’t seem like a soda type of gal.” I walked over and opened the cooler, finding only one type of bottle in there. “H-Hey Rainbow?”
“Yo?” she called.
“All you have is Gatorade…”
“Yeah?” she asked. “I drink it when I practice.”
“Would you, uh… happen to like Powerade?”
“That traitor?” asked Rainbow Dash.
“Traitor?”
“Yeah, traitor,” she said. “Powerade was under Pepsi, but it wasn’t good enough. It just had to go over to Coke, didn’t it?”
“That’s not how business works-”
“It’s basically just a copy, anyways,” she continued. “They bought a copy made by the original. How far can they sink?”
“W-well, have you tried Powerade?” I asked. “It can’t be that bad…”
“Why would I do that?”
“Well, they are similar, you know?” I persuaded. “Maybe Powerade would work better than Gatorade-”
“Ha!” said Rainbow Dash, breaking into laughter. “Ahahahahah! Yeah right! Like I’d go over to Coke’s side.”
“Seriously!” I yelled. “Is there not a single person in the entire school who prefers Coke over Pepsi!?”
“Nope!” yelled Big Mac, who just happened to be passing with a crate of apple cider.
“God!” I yelled, walking off. I had enough of school for one day.
Walking home, I saw a lot of people drinking different types of drinks, most of them Coke. I was hit with a wave of relief.
“At least not everyone is so one-sided,” I said.
Reaching my small house, I fumbled in my pockets for a few seconds before pulling out keys. I stuck them in the keyhole and turned.
There I stood, watching as a wave of Pepsi poured out of my door and drenched me. I had no option but to stand with mouth agape as I watched my possessions flow out of my house, drenched in the sticky, black liquid. A loud laugh could be heard from my roof, making me back up to see who had done this.
It wasn’t hard to deduce.
“So. How did you like your present?” asked Pinkie Pie, a large, goofy grin on her face.
“Pinkie, you flooded my house.”
“Yeah I did,” she said. “With Pepsi, no less.”
“You flooded my house!” I yelled.
“And there are exactly zero things you can do about it,” said Pinkie.
“I… I can’t deal with this right now,” I said, walking into my small house. “I’m done with soda. I’d really like a nice glass of mil-”
Inside of my fridge was nothing but Pepsi.
“Maybe I went a little too far,” said Pinkie. “Sorry about that.”
“Well,” I said, straightened out and sighed. “Looks like Pepsi is all I’ll be drinking.”
“Yep,” said Pinkie. “You’ve got yourself a… Pepsi Predicament…”
“Pinkie?” I asked.
“Yeah?” she replied innocently.
“Go home.”
“Okay.”

Blasphemy.
But who drinks RC?
7104956 Hm?
7105102 I've never seen that before.
7105122 I had no idea RC Cola existed until you just mentioned it...
7105141 "Pinkie Pie likes Pepsi"
HERESY
To me, Coke will always be better. I'm with you all the way, Sunset...
7105176 Ah.
7105269 Cool.
I think maybe you needed to give this story another proofreading pass before publishing it.
7105278 Thanks, man.
I'm just going to leave this here.....
pepsi
Coke all the way. But my fav soda of all time is A&W Root Beer.
7105331
A thoughtful and well-reasoned response.
Also, Pepsi is better than coke but whatever works when you're thirsty.
7105331 Hahaha!
Pepsi Man.
7105392 Root Beer is smexy...
I prefer Coke since the fizz is stronger and it helps me with a stomach ache (hard to believe, right?), but I'll drink Pepsi if there isn't anything else to drink.
Barqs rootbeer motherbuckers.........which is owned by the coke-cola co.
Coke is superior to Pepsi.
7105122 That's fucking disgusting. Don't ever talk to me again.
Pepsi sucks. It always has a coppery taste, even in a plastic bottle.
Fuck a can of Pepsi,
Fuck a bottle of coke,
Royal Crown cola is the way to go!
7105614
Spelled Barq's, actually.
7105675 damn you auotcorrect!
Both are like cocaine
7105510 I just follow my grandma at this point. First, it was Diet Coke, and now it's Pepsi.
When I'm 21, it'll be Budweiser, I think.
7105614 Root Beer, whoever it's made by, is delicious. Excuse me while I take a sip!
*Sips*
7105675 I need to try this RC that people keep talking about.
7106398 agreed except for mug that tastes like shit
7105792 I know, right? As soon as you start, you can't stop, and on top of that, they make you super duper hyper, so much so that you don't ever want the crash t come so you continue drinking, only for the crash to be even worse and-
*Gasps* Excuse me a moment.
*Sips*
When Pinkie's corpse was found hanging upside down from a lamp-post, choked to death with a Coke bottle and with another rammed up her fundament, no-one could figure out who could have committed such a horrific act... until Sunset Shimmer turned up missing and the portal was found to be closed. After all, the Equestrians weren't about to allow any contact with their perfect society by a species so barbaric as to still drink Pepsi!
After all, everypony knew that civilised folk drank only Dr Pony (Dr Pepper)!
Coka Cola drinker here. Pepsi is just too Sweet IMO, and thanks to a couple HALO LAN Parties my brother and I had when we were still in High School, and the tons and Tons of Mt.Dew that was left over after each of them, I can't even touch the stuff even a Decade later...
As for the Sprite/Sierra Myst debate, I prefer Sprite because it's more bitter...
7106611 *Sips*
7107453 Old commercials make me crack up. When I'm older, my kids will probably think the same thing.
My uncle is the manager of the place that makes Pepsi and a lot of other drinks, such as Mountain Dew, Fruit Shoot, Tango ect...
7109304 Cool. Tell him I said, "Thanks for the Dew".
7106611 Dr. Pepper, Traitor!!! Root bear is the way to go.
7106402 *sips a glass of RC before clicking a button elsewhere.*
7126575 Seriously, where do you find RC cola? There seems to be none anywhere near me.
7126579 Probably more liable to find it in the S and SW USA area. Dr Pepper Schweepes is the company that overall owns it so it comes along with A&W and... well Dr Pepper and 7-up get confusing for who owns those.
7126601 I think I saw RC cola once and though it was a rip-off of Pepsi. Then again, I was 7 at the time and didn't know the difference between their, they're and there...
You know in Quebec, Canada French people drink Pepsi and English people drink Coke. Its unspoken rule.
That is why I drink Coke. Go Sunset you drink your Coke.
If they've got got actual sugar in 'em, I prefer coke (Pepsi Throwback and Mexican Coke). That costs more, though. If it's gonna taste syrupy anyway, may as well be the sweeter syrup.
“Mt. Dew is much better than Mellow Yellow,” said Pinkie.
This is true.
7192850 Man, Canada is awesome. It fathered (Mothered?) some of my favorite cartoons.
*Looks at MLP*
Hey!
7248219 I have to look up this Mexican coke. Apparently, it's ace.
7296582 So it is.
7297672 Well I don't want to over-sell it, but I do prefer it. Corn syrup leaves a, well, syrupy after-taste that cane sugar doesn't.
7297673 I basically live off that shit.
Coke or Doctor Pepper. Or indy soda; Virgil's is really good if you can find it.
I can and will drink both, but given the choice, I'll go with Coca-Cola.

They both used to have cocaine in them. Mostly coke because that's part of its name.
Actually, mostly every soda pop back then had cocaine in them because there wasn't my thing else to make it addicting!
