1 coke please!

So I just came back from dining out. This post is not about the food I had there, the cuisine, the service or even the restaurant. Its about loyalties. The very simple question of Coke vs Pepsi. Here is what happened:
(No offense intended to anybody; I KNOW English is a second language here in Indonesia--so don't judge)

Me: ..and also 1 coke
Waiter: you mean Coca Cola?
Me: uh.. Yea! (Coz its not like I can order cocaine and get away with it!..and I'm out with my parents..! hello..!!LOL)

After a brief moment of laughter inside my head 

Waiter: diet or regular?
Me: Diet is fine
.

after 10 minutes
Waiter (carrying a tray with a can of Pepsi on it): Sorry we no have diet coke
Me: no problem, bring regular coke
Waiter: Thats finish. Have pepsi?
Me: No. I don't want Pepsi
Waiter: Fanta?
Me: No (obviously..!)
Waiter: Sprite? 7up? Ice Tea?
Me: No. No. and uhm.. No. Just bring  me a bottle of mineral water please.
Waiter: so no Pepsi?
Me: NO!

This has happened with me after a really long time. I remember around 5-6 years ago it was a common phenomenon, that waiters would very politely offer you Pepsi instead of Coke, because a lot of restaurants just won't have it. Which was and still is, absurd...Its the best soft drink ever !..Hello..!..It beats Pepsi anyday. Why would anyone want to have an extremely sweet version of coke, when they can have regular coke..which is plain delicious !..

Oh..its the best feeling..popping open a can/ bottle of coke, pouring it into a glass or just drinking it straight out. Accompanied with fried food or actually any food. Put ice in it, and it just makes the world a better place. Its true..

 Even alcohol tastes better with coke. Have you ever heard anyone say.." I'll have a rum & PEPSI ..please"..Chheeeee..Yuckk.....its Rum & Coke..Vodka & Coke..even Whisky  and Coke..and all of these taste yummm...Its ALWAYS COKE.. even in the most random cocktails..

Its like going to a bakery and asking for chocolate cake (most awesome, most popular AND most delicious kind of cake ever..anywhere!) and instead being offered black forest cake !.YUCCKKKKKK......WHY would I purposely substitute black forest over chocolate, when chocolate is definitely what I WANT..No baker would be caught dead saying " Oh, we don't have chocolate cake"..What is possible though is, " Sorry chocolate cake is over" which I get, Coz EVERYBODY loves chocolate cake..and since its a perishable item, if its not available, its not..No hard feelings there.

But Coke isn't perishable. And trust me, Coke is to soft-drinks, what Chocolate is to cake. So if you do own/ plan to own a restaurant/ bar/ pub, I suggest you start stocking up...like NOW!

AWWWW...even babies get it!  ;)  :)

So.. yea..off-course COKE RULES over PEPSI..and i'm a loyalist. I will never in my sane mind have Pepsi, when Coke or any of its variants like Diet Coke or Coke Zero is available..If i want a soft drink its COKE..(or sprite, but that just feels like a different category..). And If i want cake..Its gonna be chocolate (or cheesecake)

And I'm sorry if your the kind who prefers Pepsi over Coke and black forest cake over Chocolate...In my eyes your weird..Sorry..thats the truth..
But if i know you & like you..then don't worry, I'll accept your weirdness anyway :P

Enjoy
