On a side note, I overheard someone in a sports bar a few days ago say how watching ads on TV makes them nostalgic. Not basic cable itself, fucking ads. Eat my ass America.

    That is not true at all, Coke and Pepsi advertising are much more symbiotic. If you see a Coke ad, but prefer Pepsi, then you are likely to purchase more Pepsi because of that Coke ad.
    If anything, Coke/Pepsi are competing with iced tea, lemonade, coffee, beer, or just not feeling thirsty. But most of all they are competing with water, which is a perfectly good drink for almost any occasion.

      Coke and Pepsi each own a bunch of water brands though, water is one of their products not their competition.

        Sometimes I forget that most people buy water in disposable plastic bottles instead of just drinking from tap basically for free.
