How can I possibly distinguish between Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola?
If only PepsiCo had been sued out of existence about 50 years ago for "trademark" infringment, we would never had this problem.
- hapless 16y agoBy the time Pepsi came along, "Cola" was already a generic term. The guy who invented "Cola" drinks failed to trademark the name (in connection to drinks, as opposed to plants). He died in obscurity. Maybe if he'd sued Coke at its inception, he could have been as famous as Pemberton.
- chopsueyar 16y agoReally? I thought it was called Cola because of Kola. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kola_nut http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kola_nut
