Pepsi Vs Coke
Sitting at a table in a restaurant on Cairo Road, in downtown Lusaka, I eagerly wait for my drink. I haven’t had this drink for more than three years. I wonder if I still remember the taste of it. In fact, for the first time, I am quite excited ordering this drink. The drink comes in a 350mls bottle. I waste no time and take a long sip of the contents of the bottle. I put the bottle down simultaneously burping and feeling embarrassed. “This Pepsi is really going down”, I thought.
I have never really been a big fun of Pepsi. In the United States, where Pepsi competes neck-to-neck with Coca-cola, I would only order or drink Pepsi when Coca-cola was not available.

They were teased every cold season by their traditional cousins. It was believed the circumcised are prone to cold and can succumb to death easily. Circumcision carried stigma, but these humble people carried on their tradition. Their women were not allowed to marry uncircumcised men. The theory was the uncircumcised men were unclean.
