I like both, but I prefer Coke. I’m doing a taste test for my middle school science experiment. I think everyone, since I’m only tesing minors, will be able to tell the difference between American Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola made with sugar cane, and Pepsi-Cola. To those of you who can’t tell the difference: SCRAPE THAT CRUD OFF YOUR TOUNGE, AND TRY AGAIN!!!!

Thats kinda interesting… My prefrence PEPSI…. lol I cant even drink Coke due to gut rot.

Also, Coke has more “pep” to it, there is alot more bubbles in Coke then Pepsi…. most Coke drinkers would never realise this tho because they pour the pop so fast into mugs and bad glass cups.
Next time you or someone you know loses a couple teeth take the teeth and put them in seperate glasses one with Pepsi and one with Coke. The Pepsi one will turn the inside of the tooth mildly soft and stains it alot, where the Coke tooth will completly disapear.
Coke drinkers get alsers more often then Pepsi drinker…
You can always smell the diff between the 2 drinks cold or warm.
Pepsi and Coke are married… literaly, Pepsi’s owner/founder married the Owner of Coke.
The Santa for Coke’s Xmas commercials works for the Calgary, Alberta Coke distrabution center/factory.

Next time you buy a bottle of Coke or Pepsi, Take care of the bottle and dont let it shake around, put it in your fridge for a while then pour it slowly (without gluging the bottle) into a small whisky glass….. now sip. That should wake you up.

There are restaurants that have both? Usually waiters will ask, is Pepsi OK when I order a Coke.

There’s a great chapter on cola and tasting in Malcom Gladwell’s Blink.

I drank soda exclusively for years and I only drank Diet Pepsi. Two 2-litres a day minimum.

When I got pregnant, I gave up the diet soda. On delivery day I had my husband bring Diet Pepsi to the room after the delivery and I couldn’t stand it. He bruoght me a Diet Coke and I can’t stand Diet Pepsi now.

However, I have cut back from two 2-litres a day to less than one.

As a child I drank Coke, in the teen years, it was Tab then with the advent of aspartame, Diet Pepsi and have been hooked ever since. In the diet cola world, I think that Diet Coke tastes far sweeter than Diet Pepsi. It could just be nostalgia for me, but I agree with Karen that Japanese Coke tastes better than the American version.

I’m often sending back glasses of Pepsi, much to the astonishment of waitstaff who didn’t tell me they don’t serve Coke. I was recently told by a waitress that Coke Zero tastes just like the regular. I took her up on it- she brought a glass of each to see if I could tell.

I sent the Coke Zero back after a sip, and I still don’t understand how some people can’t tell the difference.

I’d love to try Coke made with cane sugar. I’ll have to see if there’s a Mexican market around that has it.

Coke has always had a really harsh taste to me. I’m not really sure how to describe it other than that. Pepsi always tasted to metallic and it’s really gross once it starts to warm up. Give me a Dr Pepper any day!

I actually agree that I think Coke tastes the sweeter of the two. To me (and we seem to be in the minority), Pepsi tastes like watered down Coke.

I absolutely love Coke Zero because it tastes like regular Coke. I won’t drink anything else now unless I have to pick up a Diet Coke.

Funny actually, every Coke lover I know will not drink Pepsi, but those that prefer Pepsi don’t really care.

I’m Coke all the way- Pepsi tastes too sweet and fake. I don’t like Coke Zero though. I drink a lot of Diet Coke, and now Coke regular (or any soda regular) is too heavy… but my friend taught me a trick- mix half diet, half regular. Less aspertane (sp?), more flavor, but not too heavy. I loved it!

Also, those of you going to the Coke place in ATL… it’s so fun! The wall of sodas from around the world are so interesting… don’t try the Beverly though. It made 3 people in my group puke. There’s a reason there are big trash cans in that room…
