Two buddies sit down in a restaurant booth to have lunch. Their conversation somehow turns to Lewis & Clark, causing both pals to wonder why these famed explorers never rated being on a U.S. coin. The friends become quite animated in their conversation, both feeling that Lewis & Clark have been done a great injustice. Yet it’s an injustice that’s nothing compared to the “injustice” they’re about to experience. Both guys order Cokes only to be informed that the restaurant’s only cola is Pepsi. Both buddies go on a rant, feeling that Pepsi for Coke is tantamount to a bait-and-switch ploy. They spy a Coca-Cola vending machine across the way at a gas station and leave behind an empty booth, against which appears a supered Coke logo.
