The restaurant chain is experimenting with giving consumers a choice between bottled products from Coke and archrival PepsiCo Inc., alongside its traditional fountain drink offerings. <p>Coke has been the preferred supplier for McDonald's for 51 years in the United States and for 40 years in Canada. While the test program involving PepsiCo products is limited to a few U.S. markets, it could have major implications in the beverage wars. Coke derives up to 10 per cent of its North American profit from McDonald's sales, according to some estimates. </p></blockquote> <p></p> <p>Story: <a href="http://ctv2.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20070312.wcoke0312/business/Business/businessBN/ctv-business">CTV.ca | CTV News, Shows and Sports - Canadian Television</a></p>ReginaRadiotag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3835419691545035605.post-23273136593252487582007-02-26T12:13:00.000-06:002007-02-26T12:13:44.489-06:00<p><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wGcWCbrEot8" width="425" height="350" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"></p> <p><strong>Special Breaking News Edition</strong></p> <p>Regina's Fast Food News TV has sent a reporter to the scene in NYC where rats have taken over a KFC-Taco Bell.&nbsp; Includes the original raw footage of the rats as well as exclusive new audio from the scene.&nbsp; Not suitable for young children.</p> <p><a href="http://blip.tv/file/get/JamesWhittingham-FastFoodNews7RatsInvadeKFCTacoBellInNewYorkCity760.mov">Link to MOV</a> QuickTime for iTunes/iPod players or download.</p></embed>ReginaRadiotag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3835419691545035605.post-50756135529554529342007-02-23T21:10:00.000-06:002007-02-23T21:10:59.332-06:00<p>YouTubers, come join our group <a href="http://www.youtube.com/group/fastfoodnews">here</a>.</p>ReginaRadiotag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3835419691545035605.post-79251136088155326582007-02-23T20:50:00.000-06:002007-02-23T20:50:31.120-06:00<p>MySpacers: come over to our new <a href="http://groups.myspace.com/fasttoodnews">MySpace Group</a> for the Fast Food News podcast.</p> <p>Facebook coming next.
