The cokes are back in town

PepsiCo, one of the world's largest drinks makers, has announced plans to re-enter Burma as the country opens up its markets after various sanctions against it were lifted. It has signed an agreement with a Burmese firm to distribute Pepsi-Cola, 7-Up, and Mirinda brands in the country. PepsiCo, which pulled out of Burma in 1997, said it was also exploring the option of setting up production there. The firm's rival Coca-Cola has also announced plans to return to Burma after 60 years of absence due to US-imposed investment sanctions against the country. But the only thing I even care about here is that we have a choice between the two colas. I don't favour one brand over the other. Cola is cola no matter what brand it is. I'm on the fence when it comes to these "cola wars", so I'll leave it to the Burmese people to decide which brand they feel is better. In other news, Disney has confirmed that Joss Whedon will return to write and direct the sequel to The Avengers, which is now the third highest-grossing film of all time and the only one in the top three not to be directed by James Cameron. The news comes just weeks after the director told an audience at Comic-Con that he was undecided about whether he would return to the franchise. The sequel will be released in 2015.
