I agree 100% that both holdings are a good fit. But for weighting purposes would not aggressively add to one without considering the weight of the other. I've seen folks before who considered themselves to have a diversified portfolio, yet they might have six or eight tickers that consists of BCDs and MREITs with a cumulative weighting of 40%-50%. They considered the portfolio diversified, but I considered it a disaster waiting to happen. KO and PEP are totally different animals in that regard, but establishing allocations and remaining disciplined in sticking to the plan require a good bit of forethought and followup.
