It depends on which restaurant I am in.
If they have only Coke products, I drink Coke; cherry Coke if they have the real thing (regular Coke with cherry syrup added can be gross).
If they have Pepsi products, I ask for (or make my own) a "Dewpsi"; half Pepsi and half Mountain Dew.
I live in Atlanta -- of COURSE it's Coke! Pepsi if there is absolutely NOTHING else to be had. I had a friend who worked for Pepsi and was transferred to Atlanta -- they used to joke that working for Pepsi in Atlanta was like getting combat pay. :-)
Apocryphal story: There's a well-regarded university here in Atlanta, Emory Univ., who has been generously supported by the Candler family for the past 100 years. (Asa Candler was the founder of Coca-Cola). Subsequent presidents and CEO's of Coca-Cola have continued the tradition, as Robert Woodruff provided the means for the Center for Disease Control to move adjoining Emory (thus providing an invaluable resource to the medical school/hospital at Emory), and Robert Goizueta, after whom the School of Business was named. Woodruff gave over $105 million in Coke stock to Emory in 1979, which has grown to $5 BILLION dollars of investment.
Anyway, with all that Coke money floating around, Emory is VERY conscious that they owe a great deal to Coca-Cola. No Pepsi products are sold on-campus. One time, a contractor building a new building at Emory ordered a drink vending machine installed for his workers. When it was delivered, it was a Pepsi machine. The contractor quickly got a visit from the administration and told, quietly but firmly, that the the Pepsi machine was a no-go. :-) Emory's president still greets new students each year with a toast -- of Coca-Cola. :-)
