If you drink Pepsi at work in the Coke factory, will they fire you?!

They made it pretty clear that if you're working or wearing a coke shirt and you drink a pepsi product, you'll get fired. Coke is pretty uptight about that. Heck, you'll get fired if you date or hang out with anyone that works for the competition.
Answers: From my coca-cola employee manual:

Why would you want to do that? If you like Pepsi so much, go work for Pepsi.
What kinda Question is that.. Ofcourse they will let you drink it! ;)
I have no idea, but it sure doesn't sound like such a good idea.
If you prefer Pepsi but can't find work in a Pepsi factory, then at least pour your Pepsi into a Coke bottle to camouflage it. ;-)
My dad works for Coke, and it's like their employees are brainwashed into believing any other soft drink is poison. If I drink pepsi in front of him, he calls me a traitor.
So I'd say they wouldn't be to happy, but it isn't fair to sack someone over their drink preferences
If they don't fire you first, you will get a long lecture about the company you work for.
They willl probably take you outside & ask you to read the sign on the entrance door.
And they'll say: What is the company's name & logo on your paycheck, Einstein?
If you really want to drink Pepsi in a Coke factory, then pour the contents of the Coke bottle down the drain and refill it with Pepsi.
Elementary, my dear!
Legally, They can not fire you over drinking pepsi or any kind of soda worken in a Coke factory. So No, is to answer your question.
No, they won't fire you for doing that. They'll find another reason to fire you.
Yes!
I don't know for sure if they'd fire you if you are in the union but you would get in trouble for it. If you are non union then probably. My friend's husband works for Coke and he is not supposed to go into a restaraunt in his Coke shirt if they serve Pepsi. If he does under no circumstances is he allowed to drink a Pepsi Product.
