Regal Cinemas is switching to Pepsi products, and Coke fans aren't happy

[TexasTowelie]

KNOXVILLE -- A new social-media campaign launched by Regal on Tuesday reads like a “meet cute” encounter in a playful romantic comedy.

“You are everything I never knew I always wanted” says a Regal tweet, quoting the film "Fools Rush In," to which Pepsi replies with a line from "Twilight," “You don’t know how long I’ve waited for you.”

Regal follows with “You had me at hello” (from "Jerry Maguire&quot to which Pepsi replies “I’m gonna treat you so nice, you’re never gonna let me go” (from "Pretty Woman&quot .

Soon after the exchange, Pepsi followed with “Coming Soon” attached to a photo of a Pepsi cup leaning into a bucket of Regal popcorn – a post retweeted by Regal. The bottom of the image, which Regal also posted on its Facebook account, says, “The Match Made in Heaven … coming spring 2020.”

4. Same here.

However, if you are in the Waco area of Texas then the preference shifts towards Dr. Pepper. I would occasionally get a case of the "original recipe" with real sugar from the plant from Hamlin which was on the route that my supervisor would take when she visited her parents in the western side of the state.

6. I must admit my favorite soda is Dr. Pepper.

Go figure.

3. There's some decent Pepsi products but if we're talking cola ... Coke's The Real Thing

and I accept no substitutes.

Pepsi-Cola is entirely inferior.

8. 100% agree

And as awful as Diet Coke is, Diet Pepsi is 10x worse.

That change will save me the $43.72 I'd usually be paying for Diet cokes and a small popcorn for the fam, lol.

10. Pepsi. Yuck.

I worked for Pizza Hut through high school and college. The Pepsi syrup smelled just like the toilet cleaner we used. I can’t drink it. Guess I’ll be sneaking in cans of Coke!

We'll be doing the same
