Regal Cinemas Switches From Coke To Pepsi, Causing A Twitter Uproar
Coke or Pepsi? That question has embroiled a movie theater chain in a vicious soda war. Regal is switching from Coke to Pepsi and Twitter isn’t happy.
Earlier this week, Regal Cinemas announced it would be selling Pepsi products instead of Coke at all of its locations starting spring 2020. This made the Coca-Cola contingent very angry, flooding Twitter with their ire.
After the partnership was announced fans tweeted that this decision was “big mistake” and that someone “should start a petition.” Another person stated, “There is only one drink for the movies @CocaCola.” While someone else tweeted, “I might have to cancel my Regal Unlimited subscription and go back to AMC Theatres.”
Some went as far as to say they would no longer buy from Regal’s Pepsi-only concession. “Guess I’m bringing in my own bottles now,” they tweeted.
So far, Regal seems to feel good about its life choices. Both Regal and Pepsi have been exchanging loving tweets since their team-up went public. Coke has yet to comment on the breakup.

So glad @AMCTheatres bought the @RegalMovies near me so I can avoid this travesty. There is only one drink for the movies @CocaCola

I legit want to cancel my membership over this. Wife and I spend about $40-50/month on concessions right now, and Coke Zero is a huge reason why. Diet Pepsi is disgusting….yuck. I sound like a baby lol but this ruined my day and has me looking at other options now.

Coke Icees are a movie theater STAPLE and Regal switching to Pepsi products and losing the Icees would really have me reconsidering my movie theater loyalties

Since I can remember, @RegalMovies has sold @CocaCola & getting a Coke has been one of the things I love when going to the movies. Now they’re switching to Pepsi cause it probably costs them a few cents less per drink sold.

BAD move Regal.
Guess it’s one way for me to save money https://t.co/jHbpuRHham
Regal is switching from Coke to Pepsi and this is deeply upsetting. Cherry Coke is the only thing I want to drink when seeing a movie. Someone start a petition. pic.twitter.com/JHC3rC1Lpk
