There is a difference between filtered tap water and quality mineral waters (Evian is not part of the latter category, in my book). When filtered tap water is marketed as a premium product, it become ridiculous. Same applies in areas where the tap water is typically of better quality (microbiology, chemical analysis) than the bottled tap water product.

I guess I just fail to see in which way Coke products are better than Pepsi products. It is not like United replacing Starbucks (bearable) with Fresh-Poo, ahem Fresh Brew (not coffee by any definition), back in the day.

You people who do not like Pepsi can you explain why? I do not understand this hate! I most often drink Pepsi but also sometimes Coca Cola and I do not think one tastes better then the other. There is some difference in taste but only minor, have not taste preference one over the other. So this change of brand would be irrelevant for me!

Munich Westin & Westpark Sheraton, Nuremberg Sheraton Carlton and Le Meridien still have Coca-cola products. The Sheraton Carlton was very nice, with a new full-service lounge and pool. Best lounge food we've had I think, and that covers a lot of lounges.
