GIVING UP PEPSI FOR LENT?

Not quite, although as Culver's switch from Pepsi products to Coke products in their dispensers, there are people decrying the heresy.

“Love Culvers, but not happy to hear that you have switched away from Pepsi. Bad choice,” reads another comment, this time on Facebook.

“Culver’s has been my favorite place to eat for quite some time now. Maybe up to 4 times a week,” commented another Facebook user. “But I am soooooo upset that they switched from PEPSI to coke that I will go other places sometimes, especially when they have a flavor of the day I don’t particularly care for. The employees are great and that is one reason I continue to go there.”

“Bring back the Pepsi please! That is one of the main reasons I went there,” reads another Facebook comment.

Some folks seem to be taking the switch especially hard, vowing to never come back for a ButterBurger or a Concrete Mixer ever again.

There are Cokeaholics who hail the change, and then there are devotees who see in Culver's a worthy Upper Midwest replacement for A&W.

And then there are those who don't really care about Coke or Pepsi — they're just interested in Culver's famous root beer.

“This whole story seems like a lot of hoopla,” Ben Shaver, Wisconsin native and former Culver’s crew leader, tells TODAY.com. “Who wants to drink a Pepsi or a Coke with a ButterBurger? There’s only one correct drink pairing for a ButterBurger and that’s a Culver’s root beer.”

Well, luckily for Shaver, Culver’s Signature Root Beer, which customers are known to enjoy on its own or paired with a scoop of the eatery’s Vanilla Fresh Frozen Custard, is not going anywhere — at least for now.

"For now." Let's see if Culver's contract with Sprecher for the root beer.
