The world is full of Pepsi...
I work in an area that is almost exclusively Coca-Cola products. Fortunately for my Pepsi cravings, the nearby hospital complex sells both Coke and Pepsi products so I'm never without some of my fave fizzy beverage. Also, because I'm not real fond of the metal flavor of canned soda, I tend to go with the bottles at $1.25 each. Ouch. Let me tell ya, it adds up when you're having at least one per day. Sooooo...of course when I manage to get a cap that states "Buy 20 oz. any Pepsi brand get 1 free", I treat it like a precious gift. Now generally I only manage to get a few of these each year. However, this year has been a complete fluke! I haven't gotten a few of those precious free caps, I've gotten A LOT! I could attribute my sudden increase is free caps to a general increase of free caps being put on bottles, but I'm afraid that the reality may be far different. I should probably admit that the probability of receiving a free cap is a direct correlation of how much Pepsi one really drinks. As I ponder this, I'm forced to deny what it implies. I don't want to admit that I may be consuming too much Pepsi. If I didn't drink a $1.25 bottle of Pepsi in the afternoon, I'd likely be heading to the coffee counter for a $4.00 latte. Both are caffeinated, one is definitely tastier than the other and if I HAD to give one of them up, the Pepsi would go. BUT, when you consider the cash difference.....yeah.

Sorry, I'm a Coca-Cola fan, myself...can't stand Pepsi. And cash difference or not, I can't ignore my expensive latte cravings. But I know it's a problem, so more power to you.
I didn't say I didn't have coffee. lol. I'd give up Pepsi for coffee, but I generally do coffee in the mornings and then Pepsi in the afternoons. (And sometimes coffee in late afternoons again.)
