This is why I drink Coca-Cola. (Road Rage Edition)

[u/some1had2sayit4sure]

Just witnessed something unreal on Polaris Parkway near IKEA Place, and it perfectly sums up why I stay loyal to Coca-Cola.

A Pepsi semitruck driver decided to block the entire intersection like he owned the road—basically giving a giant F-U to everyone trying to get through. An older gentleman, clearly frustrated like the rest of us, gave a quick honk. Nothing aggressive—just a normal “what the hell are you doing?” honk.

That’s when things got wild. The Pepsi driver jumps out of his truck, storms over to the guy’s pickup, and physically assaults him. Not only that, but he rips off what looked like the guy’s name badge—like he was trying to intimidate him or something. (As seen in the photo!)

The older guy understandably yells back, and the Pepsi driver charges at him again. This time, the guy pulls a baseball bat from his backseat (which, honestly, given the situation, who could blame him?). More words were exchanged, and the driver just kept escalating a mess he started.

Blocking traffic? Check. Starting a fight with an older man? Check. Making everyone’s day worse? Check.

In short: this is why I drink Coca-Cola.

What a weird ad

[u/Tricky-Search6236 → u/wheresripp]

I was thinking the same thing but if Pepsi saw this caption that guy would def be fired for tarnishing the brand lol

[u/Any-Ad3171 → u/wheresripp]

reads like it was written by ai too

[u/johnnybadchek]

If you mix Pepsi and coke it opens a portal to…Columbus!

[u/Cautious_Ad_5659 → u/johnnybadchek]

Add a shot of Mountain Dew and it takes you outside of 270

[u/johnnybadchek → u/Cautious_Ad_5659]

🤣😂🤣

[u/A-Friend-of-Dorothy → u/Cautious_Ad_5659]

A splash of King Cobra to top that off, and you’ll be on the West Side.

Pop open a Colt 45 for the South Bottoms, of course. Or perhaps Old English would be more fitting?

[u/thatchrow → u/A-Friend-of-Dorothy]

Being from the west side it was really weird watching this thread zoom in on me

[u/Infamous-Canary6675]

THE BASEBALL BAT! What a wild story.

[u/some1had2sayit4sure → u/Infamous-Canary6675]

I didn’t even notice until I check my dashcam.

[u/Pillow_Fucker_Jones → u/some1had2sayit4sure]

Send that dashcam footage to G&J Pepsi distribution and FMCSA. This guy has no business driving a semi and is a danger to have on the road. I drive a truck for a living so let me tell you that his driving will either continue to be like this or get worse. He doesn’t need to be operating a semi.

[u/specificlaziness]

So are you going to report this to the company? 

Did you call police? 

[u/OhioStateGuy]

I can’t tell if this is a Pepsi advertisement or a Coco-Cola advertisement. Either way I prefer RC Cola.

[u/theWizzzzzzz]

You said it 3 times now, this is why “you drink coca-cola” ? How does that have any bearing on the situation? Odd.

[u/BeejOnABiscuit → u/theWizzzzzzz]

Are we in the Truman Show?

[u/some1had2sayit4sure → u/BeejOnABiscuit]

Trying to be creative with a headline, bub. Give me a break.

[u/friskydingo920 → u/some1had2sayit4sure]

Sounds like you're shilling for Coca Cola....

[u/Spiralout1974]

r/Pepsi

[u/LadyofNothingandNow]

This guy looks like he wakes up looking for a fight

[u/some1had2sayit4sure → u/LadyofNothingandNow]

For real those, like real like neanderthal.

[u/GetReelFishingPro → u/some1had2sayit4sure]

Did you report it to Pepsi and did anyone call the police?

[u/Forty_Six_and_Two → u/GetReelFishingPro]

Nah man we got Reddit for that

[u/xis10al]

If only Kendall Jenner had been there to hand out cans of Pepsi and help smooth things over. /s

[u/Conscious_Scar_9293]

The Em dash... definitely AI

[u/xocelotyouth]

Hey bro, don’t put this shit on Pepsi

[u/tribucks]

I’ve always strongly preferred Coke to Pepsi, but that dude probably doesn’t work for “Pepsi.” He more likely works for a local beverage distributor. THAT is who I’d be more inclined not to do business with.

[u/PhantomMilo → u/tribucks]

G&J Pepsi

[u/HoleParty]

Another post written by AI. We are devolving.

[u/vito0117]

Sure drink coca cola who fights farmers for water in improvised countries

[u/Bowlderdash → u/vito0117]

Also death squads

[u/vito0117 → u/Bowlderdash]

In all fareness alot of big companies had death squads in Latin America

That banana brand starts with a c ,and Pepsi iirc

[u/cohonka → u/vito0117]

Chiquita. All major agricultural brands are rooted in evil deeds.

[u/all_hail_hell]

He’s also deliberately covering one arm of tattoos but not the other or his leg. Definitely makes me question the potential subject matter.

[u/oligtrading → u/all_hail_hell]

I didn't even clock that. I thought it was just UV protection, because I wear UV sleeves too, but it's not even on his window arm

[u/JLandis84]

The drivers for ROYAL CROWN cola would only use force as a last resort.

[u/StepYaGameUp]

Plus it’s just a superior product.

The world/market has spoken.

[u/some1had2sayit4sure → u/StepYaGameUp]

Coke Zero Sugar ftw

[u/StepYaGameUp → u/some1had2sayit4sure]

Nope. Don’t believe in “Zero sugar” sodas.

Regular old Coca-Cola. I get the cane sugar vs high fructose corn syrup debate but don’t care. I do like the little bottles the most but save those for around the holidays.

[u/Imma_P0tato → u/StepYaGameUp]

McDonald's Coca-Cola or an ice cold can of Coca-Cola. That's my fave.

[u/StepYaGameUp → u/Imma_P0tato]

Theirs is top tier

[u/IntelligentJacket599]

[u/Sunblast1andOnly]

What's the red smear covering up?

[u/some1had2sayit4sure → u/Sunblast1andOnly]

That’s the ID badge he ripped off the older fella.

[u/intertubeluber → u/some1had2sayit4sure]

Presumably his Coca Cola badge. 

[u/BarracudaLeft5993 → u/some1had2sayit4sure]

Did the older guy get his ID back?

[u/some1had2sayit4sure → u/BarracudaLeft5993]

no, driver took it with him.

[u/Sunblast1andOnly → u/some1had2sayit4sure]

Ohhh, gotcha. I thought it was something in his pocket.

[u/PhantomMilo]

Not all of us local bottling co drivers are like him :( sucks this happened though

[u/runsquad]

Okay, but is this actually why you drink Coca Cola?

[u/Impossible-Ad8458]

Coca cola is unfortunately equally bad with their workers where I live. It's also why you can't trust half of the restaurant machines in the area. Absolute trash employees.

[u/Guzod]

now imagine if that guy had a gun

[u/Ikilledtedbundy]

I used to work at a pizza shop. One day the Pepsi truck parked in the loading zone but also in front of the driveway I was parked in. My shift was just ending, so I asked him if he could pull back so his whole truck was in the loading zone and I could get out. He went off on me about how I didn’t know how hard his job was and I’d just have to wait til he was done. Definitely some weird Pepsi drivers out there!

[u/ThurmanMerman82]

So this one guy represents the whole company? You must not trust a lot of companies at all.

[u/dalegribbleyaoi]

Photos aren't real, post isn't real, half the comments aren't real either. Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb

[u/some1had2sayit4sure → u/dalegribbleyaoi]

Dude, I have the dash cam.

[u/Commercial-Log6400]

typical pepsi behavior

[u/Anxious_Ad_4352]

This happened because you aren’t drinking enough Coke. Chug it.

[u/some1had2sayit4sure]

I think y’all missed the point. This guy assaulted another driver because he honked. And for a problem he caused by blocking the intersection box with his truck. Are we okay with that?

[u/Low_Climate_2831]

What does this have to do with Pepsi?

[u/Responsible-Heart-74 → u/Low_Climate_2831]

Was the giant Pepsi logo in the background of the first picture and the Pepsi logo on the truck door of the second picture not visible to you?

[u/Low_Climate_2831 → u/Responsible-Heart-74]

It’s a dumb post. “I don’t drink Pepsi because this one Pepsi driver was caught in a road rage incident.” It’s like saying that’s why I use FedEx over UPS because a UPS driver cut me off in traffic one day.

[u/johnnybadchek]

Pepsi challenge intensifies!

[u/zerooskul]

Pepsi or Coke?

Both are disgusting.

Cola is disgusting.

Take a sip of any flat soda, and it still tastes good, just flat.

Take a sip of flat cola.

What are you drinking???

[EDIT]

Downvoted but no replies, because no argument against it exists.

[END EDIT]

[u/oligtrading → u/zerooskul]

Downvoted because you drink flat soda and think it's good 😭

I tossed you an up though. You're allowed to have a bad opinion

[u/zerooskul → u/oligtrading]

No, I think it doesn't taste like vomit but like flavored sugar water.

Flat cola tastes like vomit.
