Yes, the yellow school buses are real. No, we don't ascribe a lot of significance to the red solo cups. We're more culturally diverse than Europeans think, but probably less than we believe. Peanut butter is delicious. Thanks to @[email protected] for Kibby, and @[email protected] for our logo.

Why there is no Coca Cola at Las Vegas (self.askamericans)

Like, come on guys, I was in Las Vegas for our honeymoon and we could not find a single place where we could buy a Coca Cola. I thought Vegas was still the USA? What’s going on there?

McDonald's usually has coke products.

Didn’t think about it, that would’ve been a great idea pal!

I'll admit I wasn't sure about the validity of your question, until I went down that rabbit hole. Honestly the few times I've visited Vegas for work, I was chugging water - and the other times...it wasn't water. Just thinking about those yard long drinks gives me a headache

From this article, it basically comes down to which vendor the largest management companies went with. That vendor then supplied the premier properties, and all of the other properties owned by those mgmt companies

This post is more of a tl;dr

Thanks for taking this question seriously, I am genuinely curious about not finding Coke in such an American place.

Yep. Completely impossible to find.

Not a drop. It's a mystery.

Ain’t that just merch? Anyway, I meant in the Casinos and Malls, everywhere I looked there were only Pepsi!
