It never occurred to me that Osama bin Laden would drink U.S. soft drinks. But bin Laden's former bodyguard confirms to Newsweek that the al Qaeda leader hates Pepsi, at least: 

The only thing that seems to rile him up is mention of America [...] I think from the very beginning of his childhood he hated America. I don't know why. He won't even drink a Pepsi."

But does that mean he prefers Coke or RC Cola? Or fresh pomegranate juice, perhaps?
