I saw this interesting headline on MSN today, and I had to post about it.
Due to pricing disputes, Costco is refusing to sell Coca-Cola products for the time being. There are no details available, but I'm wondering if other large corporations are tempted to quit selling Coca-Cola products as well.
I remember a local Wal-Mart that quit selling Pepsi products for a while, but they eventually resumed. This would also be a good time to bring up that Murray State's Campus was (and might still be, I'm no longer on-campus) a Coke-free campus. This was due to Pepsi offering a great deal to MSU if they agreed to no longer sell Coke products. I certainly remember the uproar this brought on-campus when all of the Coca-Cola vending machines disappeared! Does anyone else remember this?
You can find the article regarding Costco and Coca-Cola here.
Murray State remains a Coke-free campus. I wasn't here when the switch took place but I would have been upset.
ReplyDeleteI was a student and a staff member at the time of the switch. It seemed as if more staff were complaining than students...
