80 Percent of Public #Schools Have #Contracts With #Coke or #Pepsi | Mother Jones:

"Is your kid's public school a Coke school or a Pepsi school? If you don't know what I mean, consider yourself lucky. Starting in the early '90s, cash-strapped public schools began selling exclusive "pouring rights" to one or another Big Soda company, which would then supply all the beverages sold in on-site snack bars, stores, and soda machines as well as at sports events. Along with sugary drinks, of course, the companies also stuffed the schools with plenty of advertisements."
