Dueling Fools

Duel Flashback:
Cola Wars

October 27, 1999

Who fizzed? Who went flat? Six months ago, Matt Richey (TMF Verve) and Warren Gump (TMF Gump) had a carbonated debate. Matt thought Coke was it. Warren thought Pepsi was the choice of a new investing generation.

In the end, neither pop popped higher. Coke shares have shed 19% of their value while Pepsi has seen its stock drop by 11%. So, in a battle of who lost the least, our Foolish Voters sided correctly with Warren and his Pepsi-loving ways.
