DEJA-VU:

"PepsiCo Alleges Coca-Cola Violated U.S. Antitrust Law"

interactive.wsj.com

I especially liked the following passage:

Pepsi said in its suit that as it has made an aggressive push to make inroads in this business, "Coca-Cola embarked upon a strategy to use its market power to perpetuate its monopoly by threatening food-service distributors with the loss of Coke if they dare to carry Pepsi for their customers that want Pepsi, and by cutting off any distributors that decide to carry Pepsi anyway."

Then there's the kicker:

. . . several industry executives said Pepsi's lawsuit is risky for it could prompt regulatory scrutiny of the entire industry and Pepsi itself could get enmeshed in a broad investigation.
