Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are a few years apart, but both of them are well known and have such popularity with people drinking their sodas. Coca-Cola has been trying to surpass PepsiCo in their annual sales; however, from review, PepsiCo somehow has the highest number in their annual sales than Coca-Cola.

Enhance your Meals, A Day of Beer Drinking Sitting at the Carolina Brewery, in Chapel Hill, NC, finishing my 6th beer of the night (an in-house brewed IPA called “Flagship”), Tim (one of the brewers at Carolina Brewery) came to the bar to check on customers.
