If you go with the coke products, please carry Coke Zero in addition to (or instead of) Diet Coke. :sick:

Though I'm considering only having Coke products rather than both Coke & Pepsi.

YEAH! Pepsi sucks!

:rolleyes:

But really, it does.

Pay no attention to the Pie behind the curtain. Diet Coke is second only to coffee as a Drink of the Gods.

Now I see where all of that came from.

Yes, they are weird. usually, we buy generic, whenever possible...I have an idea for a poll!

That's a hell of a deal, how is that packaged? 10 six packs? 5 twelve packs? 2 thirty can cubes?


Out here right now it's 48 cokes (4 - 12 packs) for $10. This is still a pretty good deal. When you can get a can for under $.25, you're doing pretty well, especially when you're selling them for a buck.

I LOVE Coke Zero and pretty much dislike Diet Coke. I'll carry both because people will ask for both by name.

For me, it's not so much a brand loyalty as it is a taste loyalty. Pepsi is too sweet to me. It almost taste like medicine because it's kind of like syrup.

I just hope your cart can hold all this stuff.

Flint 05-20-2009 04:06 PM

I like those Mexican, cinnamony things, what are those called? Churros. Get some of those, too...thx.

Undertoad 05-20-2009 04:30 PM

Yknow what might go over, are muffins. But not the dumb store bought ones, they have to be good.

Flint 05-20-2009 04:48 PM

Don't you dare get those grocery store muffins, dude. Or I will ruin you. Oh, and here's another thing: fortune telling.

You're welcome.

capnhowdy 05-20-2009 07:10 PM

And don't forget beads and trinkets. But be sure and tell them not to eat them.

Radar 05-20-2009 09:24 PM

No muffins. I'll try to make a deal with a local bakery for the buns. It'll probably be cheaper and better than regular buns from the grocery store. I want high quality buns though. Something that can compete with Wonder or Bunny buns.

I'll be selling 8/1 dogs, and 5/1 or 4/1 precooked brats and Italian sausages. I may consider 4/1 dogs too, but no footlongs. I'll use hoagie buns for the Sausage & Pepper sandwiches, and hot dog buns for brats & dogs.

I'll offer Coke, Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Orange Crush, Dr. Pepper, Sprite, Squirt, Barqs and possibly orange & lemon lime Gatorade (I live 20 minutes from where it was invented) and bottled water.

As far as chips go, I'd like to offer something better than Lays brands because people know they can buy a metric ton of them at Costco for nothing. I'd like to offer some quality chips like kettle chips, but I will also offer a variety of Doritos because they sell like crazy. I was thinking of offering Wise brands, but I'm not sure.

I have a feeling I'll sell a lot more drinks than dogs because of my location, but that's ok with me because the profit margin is higher.

Eventually I'll also offer hats, t-shirts, keychains, etc. with the mascot on it.
