I know that most restaurants will serve exclusively either Coke or Pepsi
products, but I've never heard of that happening in a US city.  Although,
when I was in Pakistan a few years back I remember that some cities were
basically all Pepsi and in others there wasn't a Pepsi for miles.

Our high school must have some big deal with Coke because all the vending
machines and drinks from the cafeteria are exclusively Coca-cola
products.  One day when that drink "Surge" came out we even had some
trucks drive up and guys set up tables, giving out free cans of Surge and
telling us to "feel the rush!" or whatever their slogan is.  Talk about
selling out!
