Although I did have an amusing experience in a local pub for a work meeting earlier this year. I was actually meeting with an exec from Coca-Cola Enterprises (the bottler in the UK), and we were sitting down having waitress servce. Nice girl comes over to take our order. My guest ordered a beer, and I ordered a Diet Coke. The waitress said to me: "We don't do Diet Coke, we've only got Diet Pepsi, is that ok?". On every other occasion I've ever been asked that the answer has always been yes... But given the company I was in, it was best to order a lemonade instead!
But was it a Schweppes lemonade?
