I am somewhat surprised about the change as Coke is usually way more aggressive than Pepsi on pricing in most channels.
Lots of die-hard anythings just buy their brand because it's what they've always done.
Just like how I have tried numerous rums in my Coke Zero before settling on my favorite, I also tried a bunch of colas. Which included tossing a full bag-in-box Narvon that taste like absolute trash.

Disappointed isn't even the right word. There was a fairly long period where I would bring minis of spiced rum on board, and at the beginning of the flight, talk to the SD, explain that I hate their rum, but obviously won't consume my own alcohol, and that I could provide them with the minis for them to serve to me. A lot said no, but not all.
Thankfully they fixed that recently, and I was back to being able to get my favorite simple mixed drink on AC. I'm so glad there was a 6 month window in the last 6 years that I was content.
I am very particular about beverages. I need to figure out where I can buy a six-pack airside, at least at SFO, YVR, and YYZ.
