[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I worked my first job at age 16 at the brand new McDonald's that opened in a very white UMC suburb (I rolled in from the poorer rural area) I always though black people would drink Coke more often than white people, but I was wrong. Black people almost exclusively ordered orange drink or less often Sprite.

Isn’t there some stereotype that Black folks like Grape soda? I think at least Black-ish addresses it?

Since Atlanta is a cultural center for Black Americans and the home of Coke, wouldn’t they likely prefer Coke too?[/quote]

You can more easily find Grape, Orange, and Strawberry soda in the inner cities. Same as finding pineapple, mango, guava, or Inka Kola in areas with a large Latino population.

As kids, my children loved going back to Baltimore for cookouts and other big family events because there would be a bottomless soda cooler with Strawberry Fanta. I don’t think either has ever drunk a Grape soda. I have and the first couple sips are all I can manage. Too sweet. Reminds me of Dimetap cold medicine. [/quote]

This is the real tragedy, strawberry fanta is amazing. I should be able to grab one when I'm filling up the range rover but alas. [/quote]
