What did you try? Was there something from europe too? (our cokes are mostly sweeter)

I don't remember many, just, the ones that are minty and ones that are made with local fruits with countries like Tanzania. I'm pretty sure Germany was on there, as with Italy. I remember because I've been to both countries and don't remember their coke tasting like the ones that I was served. The best one was the Mexican coke because it was, basically, coke with real sugar, not corn syrup. Also, cause I'm used to drinking Mexican coke, living near the border.

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...

Okay, I seriously have to try the UK ones then.

Here in North Germany is once a year the "Kieler Woche" and on the weekend of it you can visit some ships from different countries. I was once on an american ship and one of the sailors gave me one of their coke cans. It was soooo delicious and a lot less sweet than our coke.

Overall, Coca-Cola. But Pepsi is more "Refreshing" to me. Though whereas I can drink a whole can of Coke and be fine, by the time I'm about halfway through a can of Pepsi, my throat/mouth starts to get a little... ick. Like, sticky/syrupy. Not an issue with the Zero versions of either.
