Coca-Cola Versus Pepsi
 
Which is better in your opinion?
I actually like both.

Whatswiththeheadbands? 08-10-2014 09:31 AM

Pepsi all day every day.

7-up is still better though

Candy Kappa 08-10-2014 09:35 AM

Coca cola as regular, but for light soda I prefer Pepsi max.

RaphAndDonnie 08-10-2014 09:35 AM

I prefer Pepsi...but I'll take Dr. Pepper and sweet tea over it any day!

Prowler 08-10-2014 09:39 AM

I always go for Coca-Cola unless only Pepsi is available. Although, my 2nd choice after Coca-Cola is usually 7Up. Sadly, the latter isn't as common these days compared to Sprite, its poorman's counterpart.

That being said, I don't dislike Pepsi. In fact, I don't even notice a big difference in flavour between both drinks. I guess Pepsi is sweeter?

Discogod 08-10-2014 11:10 AM

Coke, preferably Diet Coke (just taste a bit crisper with less of an aftertaste).

I HATE Pepsi. Hate it when I'm in a bar and I ask for a Coke and they give me Pepsi. Hate that 90% of the restaraunts, cafes, pubs & bars in my area only serve Pepsi. Just horrible stuff.

And Sprite>7-Up, although 7-Up Cherry>Everything else.

I have the same problem with 7Up. It's really annoying asking for 7Up at a café/restaurant and being asked "Would you like Sprite instead?". It's ridiculous how it seems to be commonly accepted that Coca-Cola and Pepsi taste different while 7Up and Sprite are considered the exact same drink with a different name.

I know right? 7-Up is much nicer than Sprite. Even my Brother (who was a big fan of Sprite) now admits 7-Up is much nicer.

By the Way, have you tried 7-Up Cherry? That stuff's nice.

Never seen it in my life. I'm guessing they don't sell it here.

I find Pepsi too sweet for my liking (in both US and UK guises), so it's Coke all the way. My girlfriend actually prefers UK Coke to US Coke as well...

Ninjinister 08-10-2014 12:35 PM

They're both the same thing!

Discogod 08-10-2014 12:53 PM

I'm currently going through 2 2-litre bottle of 7up Cherry a week. It helps that the only place in town to sell it is the supermarket around the corner, and that they always have it on offer...

I like regular 7up, it's got a better taste than Sprite but tends to leave my mouth a little sticky, which Sprite doesn't do. Plus, Sprite works really well as a mixer as it's not got as much flavour. If I can get hold of proper American 7up though, it's that every time (ours is made by Pepsi and just doesn't taste the same).

Leo656 08-10-2014 02:06 PM

Soda gives you cancer. F*ck that sh*t.

Yeah, I've just looked it up and it's only available in the UK

Netkeeper 08-10-2014 02:21 PM

Pepsi

Can't stand Coke it's too sugary-sweet

7Up here is made by Pepsi as well. Lays chips are also made by the same company.

4 liters of soda a week? That's crazy, man.

Not saying you're wrong but what doesn't give you cancer these days? And I'd be more worried about getting diabetes or rotten teeth first from drinking soda than getting cancer.

Yeah Pepsi is sweeter.

I always thought regular coca cola tastes like a diluted Pepsi. Always prefered Pepsi.

I just don't personally believe in willingly speeding up the process.

Besides, I've been drinking almost nothing but water for about 6 months and feel great. Every time I even try to drink soda anymore, it tastes disgusting and makes me feel sick. Your body doesn't like that stuff, it just gets hooked on it.

I also saved a ton of money, because water is relatively free.

I doubt it speeds up the process that much if you only have a can once in a while. I certainly don't have soda everyday, so I'm sure that's not what's gonna kill me. :P

I went through a phase were I was about 2 years without touching soda at all. Not that I'v ever been an addict or anything close to that, but I just lost interest in it and dropped the habit. Then one day I decided to drink Coca-Cola for the old times sake and went back to drinking soda occasionally.

Water is relatively free, yea. But I always buy it bottled anyway. Don't like the taste of tap water that much.

Leo656 08-10-2014 04:04 PM

I was addicted to it as a kid but almost never even touch it now. I still remember when I was a teenager I used to have at least one Super Big Gulp every day and now even thinking about that makes me wanna vomit.

We used to get those old three-liter bottles of Coke back in the day, and when my Mom really wanted to "punish" me she would pour it all down the sink. It took a while to get away from it but I'm glad I did. It's like I can feel the sludge "crawling" all over my teeth whenever I have it now, and I immediately need to rinse my mouth out with water. It's just gross to me.

Not at all.

Coke 1000%. Pepsi tatstes like watered down coke. and Dr. Pepper goes flat too fast.

Prowler 08-10-2014 04:06 PM

Down the sink? Well, they do say that soda, Coca-Cola in particular, is good for pipe cleaning. I wonder if it's one of those myths like Coca-Cola stopping diarrhea.

CyberCubed 08-10-2014 04:18 PM

I drink at least one can of soda every day and one full liter of Pepsi/coke every night for dinner for the last 15 years.

Soda isn't like smoking, alcohol or drugs...it's not going to kill you.

Leo656 08-10-2014 04:25 PM

Actually, it will, but not as fast.

You know, everyone likes to make jokes about how they picture you as the guy in your signature, but after this post, I sincerely hope you look half as healthy as he does.

Prowler 08-10-2014 04:35 PM

...I honestly can't imagine drinking a full litter bottle of soda a day... how is that even possible? And you've been doing it for 15 years and it hasn't hurt your health? I call bull on that.

Leo656 08-10-2014 04:39 PM

Part of me feels like he's just working his "internet weird guy" gimmick.

Jester 08-10-2014 04:42 PM

Cybercubed, the Technodrome's greatest heel.

As to the topic at hand I'm a Dr Pepper man, myself.

Blossombrooks 08-10-2014 04:54 PM

I gotta ask Cybercubed, do you still have all your own teeth??

After one glass I can feel the sugar attacking mine. I like coke best but I rarely drink it these days, a) because of the teeth thing b) it sets my asthma off. I like it, it doesn't like me.

ZariusTwo 08-10-2014 04:56 PM

Coke is a rarity for me, I'm mainly addicted to Pepsi and don't go a day without drinking at least four cans per day, I try to balance it out by drinking apple juice and orange and mango concoctions though.

Jester 08-10-2014 04:58 PM

I've heard many juices are just as bad...sugar wise...for you.

Literally everything gives you cancer.

Leo656 08-10-2014 05:00 PM

Again, why speed things up?

My sister's been drinking at least a six-pack of Pepsi every day for about 20 years. Between that and the pack or two a day of cigarettes, she lost almost all of her teeth before she was 30. It's a real shame, she's only going to be 40 but she looks almost 60.

Because everyone has their vices. And like he said, literally walking around outside for too long can give you several forms of cancer. Might as well enjoy the ride.

Leo656 08-10-2014 05:08 PM

Hey, if people genuinely "like" guzzling gallons of acidic sugar water, that's their problem, not mine.

1 liter isn't that big really. I've been drinking Coca-Cola since I was 2 years old. I still drink my water and a bottle of gatorade almost every day though.

From about the age of 13 or so I drank soda virtually all the time. Throughout all my teen years and into late 20's I drink soda daily.

I've had some cavities over the years but its probably from everything I eat rather than one thing. I drink soda with a straw so I make sure it doesn't stay on my teeth and usually wash out my mouth with water as soon as I'm done eating.

Soda won't kill you unless you have other health problems. Thank god I am not diabetic and weigh 135 pounds, I feel sorry for those overweight rednecks who live on Medicaid and in a trailer down south with like 6 kids.

Cascadia 08-10-2014 08:24 PM

I will go for Dr. Pepper any day before picking up a Coke or Pepsi. However, if Dr. Pepper is not available, I would go for an uncola or a root beer.
