Coke, Bottlers Spar over Wal-Mart

Aaa Wal-Mart is apparently in the middle of a dispute between Coca-Cola and some 60 Coke bottlers over who has the rights to sell the popular PowerAde drink to Wal-Mart.   Bottlers normally deliver the soft drink direct to retail outlets, but Coke and its largest bottler are apparently trying to bypass the local bottlers by selling directly to Wal-Mart and delivery to its local warehouses.
