PPG Paints Arena, home of the Pittsburgh Penguins of the NHL, has RC Cola, no Coke or Pepsi products

C'mon guys, the Blues Brothers were huge at the time and actually playing on tour. I read in an interview with the director that they had a whole Aykroyd section of the doc that got cut, unfortunately.
Jeff Gibson
So, I absolutely love birds. I think they're beautiful. But I agree with Jeff: they make awful pets, because they never shut up. Also... I love RC Cola and prefer it to Pepsi. And, yes, I agree with Devindra's disappointment over Regal switching to Pepsi. Since then we have to get their lemonade with our popcorn, because we don't really like Pepsi that much, but we have to get something to drink, because I'll otherwise choke and die on the popcorn. It'll be the definition of "dying doing what he loved", but not preferred.

Book recommendation for Jeff: The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of North America by Matt Kracht. The entry for goose (“Goddamned Canada Goose”) says “These f*ckers are often considered a pest species. Why? Because of their depredation of crops, their noise, droppings, aggressive behavior, and habit of begging for food in urban parks, not to mention that incessant honking, and their long, stupid necks. Basically everything about these geese just makes you want to choke them.” The perfect book if you love to hate on birds.

Not since the Wakanda Forever episode where Dave discussed watching Pleasure on an airplane have I laughed so much during an episode.
Kyle Smith
This has been one of the most laugh out loud episodes in memory.
