A few things
Coke will be gone in 50 years. I don't like it, but I know it's a really popular drink: it won't fade from lack of buyers. Their money managing is really, really shitty, not to mention the slew of lawsuits that it's been in (here in Atlanta we hear about those before we hear about the triple homicides at the daycare). They opened a bottling plant in Russia (actually a relatively intelligent move, opening a simple product to a whole new region and cutting a lot off the cost of importing them for the locals, but it turns out russians don't like Coke) which failed miserably. The main company is making money, but others aren't doing as well. Fruitopia is breaking even, Nestle is now and will always do well, but others are going down the tubes. The only people that are intelligent over there is the marketing division, and I don't think they'll be able to save it. It's not too late to turn it around, fortunately, but being so popular a company is bad: lots of idiot stockholders mean bad decisions about who replaces who. Forcing the product into dozens of areas is actually starting to piss people off, though it'll be a good ten years before that anger comes to a boil. No, 50-75 years and it's gone.
The Dralthi Kitty Litter one is bad for a Fosters commercial. Have one Dralthi being blown away by a squadron or two and say "Neutered."
And, of course, Pepsi r00lz j00r a55.
(No, I'm not Canadian, and I hate the stereotype...)
