I wouldn't mind to buy Pepsi if it comes with Coke at the same price. The problem is if you haven't bought Coke in the past you won't be able to buy this offer ever and you'll have to drink only Pepsi forever unless you go to another store.
The problem is that they gave us only about three weeks to buy your last Coke since the EOL announcement. The problem is this is a very expensive Coke. In Japan a network license + Sub would cost you about $ 10K , yes it is more expensive than Maya. Sadly I can't get 10K that fast so I guess I'll have to change my business plans drastically.
