It's now in its third 1/2 year!!!


It's time once again time to renew the insanity of comparing anime conventions with carbonated beverages(pop/soda/soft drink). Below is the list from when I brought this idea up in August of 2000 on the animecons mailing list.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/animecons/message/2017

I usually post this con/cola wars every August to the mailing list, but I thought I would share it with everyone here as well. So as we have this discussion going every six months.

I hope people have fun with this.

AX = Coca Cola
Otakon = Pepsi
A-kon = RC Cola
Sakura-Con = Cherry Coke
Katsucon = Mello Yellow
Anime USA = Jolt
Sugoi Con = Dr. Pepper
Nan Desu Kan = Sprite
Neko-Kon = IBC Root Beer
Ohayocon = Sierra Mist
Shoujocon = Ramune Soda
Anime North = 7up

Discontinued
Anime America = New Coke
Anime East = OK Cola

Cola's still up for grabs.
Mountain Dew, Tab, Water Joe, Barq's, Squirt, Fresca, Cherry Pepsi, A&W, Mr. Pib, and many others.

Do you not give explanations to go along with the designations?

Done scientifically, that would be far more interesting than the list itself IMO.
Confused

It's mostly based off of the attendence of the convention. Coke is the largest cola, Anime Expo is the largest convention. Pepsi/Otakon are second. RC Cola/Akon are third.

You can catch last summers dicussion of it on the archives of the animecons ml. It's partly scientific, but mostly fun.
