Coca-Cola Versus Pepsi

[Lou 500]

Coca-cola all the way. Pepsi isn't as tasty for me.

I used to think this. There's some difference but they're still the same product. kinda like some milk and water brands taste slightly different than others, but they're still milk and water respectively.

A fun thing is people who largely prefer a certain commercial lager beer to another one and probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference form drinking each blindfolded.

There is a noticeable difference between the taste of Coke and Pepsi in the UK. Probably due to the water, levels of carbonation, and that we use glucose syrup not HFCS as sweetener.

Considering Pepsi was first created in New Bern, NC, it pretty much is a NC thing.

How odd then that "Coke" is often used to mean any soft drink in parts of the south, in the same way "Nintendo" was used to mean all videogames in the 80s...

Used to be a Pepsi drinker because I thought it tasted better but as I've gotten older I've enjoyed Coke more. Goes better with my rum.

So it's just those soda's or it's the products they make? cause Pepsi has MTN DEW and I can never vote against that. But either way I think I'd go Pepsi. I was always a Coca-Cola guy but I guess my taste just changed, cause I've been leaning towards Pepsi more over the years. If cokes there i'll drink it but if I have a choice I'm going with Pepsi.

The debate include all of their products and then having to pick a side would be crazy. Pepsi has MTN Dew and Tropicana, the arguably best orange juice out there.

99 cent Arnold Palmer in a can and water.

Coca-Cola over Pepsi, every now and then an ice cold Coke hits the spot.

I really dislike this name trend on coke cans. It always makes me search for one with my name on it, even though you're supposed to share the can with someone with that name as it says on the can. But still, if I buy a can with another name on it, it just feels odd for some reason.

I find CC a bit overrated , Dr Pepper is just as good imo.

Pepsi is OK now and then.

exactly. I searched so long for mine and now I'm finding it more often. Now every time I'm at the store I just look through for my name and my familys as well.

I like coke...just not the minty cokes or the local fruit coke from other parts of the world.

Me, trying 16 different cokes from around the world.

Las Vegas, on the strip.

World of Coke in Atlanta, GA has a whole room dedicated to letting you taste various versions of their sodas from around the world.

Weird place, that. Though, I have to give them major props for having a pretty awesome Normal Rockwell collection. It's the only place I've ever gotten to see originals of his work.

[Slade]

Be a while before I'll get to Vegas, but Atlanta, I can do.

Fvck me, I drink way too much of this garbage - coke, pepsi, pepsi max, irn bru. I've even been drinking those really cheap cans of fake coke. Recently I've been drinking 2 litre bottles most days or multiple 330ml cans. It has made me feel like crap but I think I'm addicted. Think I will finish what I have and try to switch exclusively to milk, water and some orange juice. The problem is that if you go a while without it you think 'I will just have a can or two as a treat', but the stuff has you addicted again.

People have died from drinking too much soda in a short period of time.

One the plus side I have never smoked, rarely drink and have never done (illegal) drugs. I don't have many vices.

Not here, the UK brands tend to be way less sweet than the US. My girlfriend prefers UK Coke to US Coke having tried both now. When there used to be lots of third party cola brands in the UK, I could blind taste test about 8-10 of the most popular back in university, as I was drinking enough colas then to keep an ox awake...
