Retard. Vim is supposed to be Moxie and Sunset Sarasparilla is Hires Root Beer (the root beer served by the original Dr. Pepper company, who had a stranglehold on the south and parts of the east coast after choking out Moxie with Dr. Pepper)
The whole corporate subterfuge and government meddling plotline in the games was inspired by real life events where Coca Cola bribed the FDA to get sassafrass and sarasparilla root banned from the consumer market because all of Dr. Pepper's drinks used them as key ingredients for flavor. This opened the way for stuff like Barq's and A&W to come in, replacing the saffrole based recipes with wintergreen to create the "root beer taste" we know today.
Pepsi on the other hand was a direct competitor to Coca Cola the same way Dr. Pepper was with Moxie. Only, unlike Moxie, Pepsi had enough market staying power to survive, something that could be attributed to the fact it had no cocaine in it to hurt its formula when the companies Coca Cola had nearly sunk began to collaborate and form lobbiyng conglomerates to get the FDA to go after Coca Cola for its cocaine.
