coke vs. pepsi

Indiana, Pa. — The long-standing rivalry between Coke and Pepsi took a physical turn Friday when a Pepsi deliveryman allegedly punched his Coke counterpart in the face at a western Pennsylvania Wal-Mart, state police said.

The two deliverymen were "apparently bickering back and forth" while unloading their wares at the Indiana County store, police said. When the Coke deliveryman left the store, his counterpart allegedly punched him in the face three times, breaking his nose and giving him a black eye, police said.

No charges have been filed, but police characterized the incident as a misdemeanor simple assault.

A North Texas mother said a Wal-Mart Halloween display gave her three daughters nightmares.

Adriana Whitney, of Hurst, said she and her daughters saw the life-size Halloween decoration while grocery shopping.

"It looked like a real, live monster," 4-year-old Grace Whitney said.

The display, complete with a gory head that popped off, was by Wal-Mart's front door. Adriana Whitney said she didn't expect to see something like it while shopping for groceries. She said it was too much for her three young daughters, the youngest of whom is 20 months old.

"At this age, you cannot explain that this is a toy, that's not real," Whitney said.

Whitney said her daughters had nightmares after seeing the decoration and couldn't sleep in their rooms.

"They had to sleep in my room because they were so scared," she said.

Wal-Mart moved the display from near the front door to an aisle with other Halloween items
after Whitney complained. A Wal-Mart spokeswoman said the decoration will remain in the Halloween section.
