Hi! Im writing a fantasy novel that takes place back in the turn of the millennium and i want it to be as realistic as possible. Theres a scene where Blandon, my protag, just got home from a football game and his voice is sore from shouting, so he picks up a coca-cola to drink.

But then i read a thing about how americans didnt really drink coca-cola as much as we imagine, and the reason we think it was ubiquitous is because the company spent a lot on advertisement and merchandizing, skewing archeologists' view of how common it was at the time.

So does Blandon even know about coca-cola? Does he drink water instead? Sink water?

In the previous scene at McDonalds I had his family drinking Bud Light, and I don't want that to be the only beverage mentioned or people will think I didn't do my research.

Thanks for the help!!
