Living in Atlanta is a coca-cola experience. I went to Emory ten years ago.
It being funded by the Woodruffs, it was known as Coca-cola University. As
Coke owned Columbia pictures, these were the only movies shown at the student
union. In fact, the Kroger, which was on Woodruff land (sort of) and just off
campus, ONLY sold Coke products. In fact, it became a challenge to see how
far off campus you had to go to find a Pepsi. One night before graduation, we
determined it was 10 miles to the closest Pepsi product!
