Pepsi Wins Wild Wing's Turf

The two big soda ogres, Coca-Cola and Pepsi, are always slugging it out and trying steal the other fellow's alliances.  Well, Pepsi just won big two months ago by winning over Buffalo Wild Wings.

More Cans for Trade February 2014

Pepsi will now be the official drink of Buffalo Wild Wings, a wise, tactical move because it brings in Mountain Dew, that neon green drink with all its electronic and youthful imagery.  It also brings in Doritos, which happens to be Pepsi owned, to prominence on the Wild Wings menu.  (Think about it...you can have Dorito Nachos now!)  I must admit, Pepsi does seem to fit better since Wild Wings markets itself as THE PLACE to watch football, which is a sport dominated by Pepsi.  (And Beyonce's Pepsi painted lips.)  It does, however, leave basketball out in the cold, as the NBA is marketed by Sprite, which is Coca-Cola owned, and will now be banned from the shelves. Surely people watch basketball at Wild Wings too.  Must their thirst (which they must obey, as the commercial has instructed since 1994) be forgotten?

Here's the thing.  While studly American males fight over balls in various shapes on fields and courts, paunchy, million dollar corporate executives are fighting over turf for their sodas. Folks don't often think about that contest.  Well I do, and so does this little can collecting blog.
