Not necessarily. Pepsi and Coke have both built quite legal relationships with a number of institutions like universities and fast food chains with the agreement that competitor products are not served. My university was a "pepsi campus", you couldn't buy coke products anywhere on campus. This is why people have to ask "do you serve coke or pepsi?" at restaurants. Of course this has far fewer effects that social network tie-ins, but its not a new idea.

OT, but this is why news anchors have to say "the obesity rate in the US has risen to its highest level ever, scientists reported today."

Why? Because people drink soda at restaurants?
