Well, we don't have flying cars yet or space hotels for our summer vacations...but we do have this.  My entire life, the top two sodas in this country have been the same:  Coke has always been number one, Pepsi has always been number two.  In 2010, that changed.

--Coke is still untouchable at number one.  But Pepsi was NOT the second-most popular soda in the country.  It lost out to . . . DIET COKE.

--Coca-Cola Classic had a 17% market share . . . Diet Coke had a 9.9% market share . . . and Pepsi slipped down to third with a9.5% market share.

--The rest of the top 10 goes:  Mountain Dew . . . Dr. Pepper . . . Sprite . . . Diet Pepsi . . . Diet Mountain Dew . . . Diet Dr. Pepper . . . and Fanta.

--The 11th most popular was Coke Zero.

--Pepsi is still the number two COMPANY behind Coca-Cola, just not the number two soda.  Coke has a 42% market share overall, PepsiCo has 29.3%.  Dr. Pepper-Snapple is in a distant third place with a 16.7% share.

--The rest of the top 10 are Cott, which makes RC Cola . . . National Beverage, with makes Faygo and Shasta . . . Hansen Natural . . .Red Bull . . . Big Red . . . Rockstar . . . and then a bunch of small private label companies.
