Coca Cola vs Pepsi (Battle of the Colas)

[OVerLoRDI]

Coke

 

[Clinkster]

Mexican coke
Mexican pepsi
canned pepsi
canned coke

In that order. I can't stand canned coke.

I did until I moved out of Ohio. Now that I have moved back I am a "soda" outlier, but then again I also like the collective "y'all" over "you guys" that is also prevalent in the midwest.

I use "you guys" and I grew up in Pennsylvania. Sometimes, I even gangster it up with a "youse guys"! My dad was weird in regard to soda; it's like he just didn't know which "camp" to go with, and he called it "soda pop" to appease them both. I call it "soda", but I live in the land where it's all "coke".

Coke does a much better job at toilet cleaning ... DOES anyone here read ingredient lists??

 

[John Connor]

Jolt Cola.

 

[DigDog]

not only i like coke better than pepsi, i think pepsi is disgusting.
also, i hardly ever drink coke anyway. i'd vote Chinotto Neri as the best fizzy drink

[NoTine42]

Mexican coke
Mexican pepsi
canned pepsi
canned coke

In that order. I can't stand canned coke.

Good list.

I'd put
Throwback Pepsi (real sugar)
Fountain Coke

After the Mexican Pepsi

I enjoy Brio myself. Though I don't know if it's sold outside of Canada. It's a bit sweeter than Italian chinotto.

HEB Cola. Cane Sugar > HFCS.

Mmmm Mmmm Bitch!

 

[akugami]

Notice a lot of "throwbacks" and alternative cola formulas (like Mexican Coke) that use cane sugar as opposed to high fructose corn syrup.

Ever been around Pittsburgh? "You guys" or "you all" is "yins."

I have no idea how it arrived at that.

I personally like "y'all." Very convenient.


I grew up knowing "soda." The only time I heard "pop" was when relatives from Colorado visited.

Whiskey is also good at cleaning things.

Coke Classic:
Carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, caramel
Color, phosphoric acid, natural flavors, caffeine.


'kay.


Like most sodas, it's diluted HFCS, along with the all-inclusive "natural flavors" umbrella.

"Y'all" should be a valid word in the English language.

 

[Pacfanweb]

"Y'all" should be a valid word in the English language.

It is at least an actual contraction of actual words. Unlike "youse" or "yinz".

 

[dbk]

Coke Zero..so Coke > Pepsi.

I prefer diet dew right now so Pepsi > Coke. haha

Coke is way too sweet. Pepsi is so much more sharp-tasting. Way better.

The Pepsi recipe has a substantially greater amount of sugar than Coke's. It is empirically impossible for Coke to actually be sweeter than Pepsi. This is what Pepsi has always used to differentiate themselves.

When the "Great Cola Wars" were happening, Pepsi played up the fact that people preferred Pepsi in blind taste tests almost 10:1, which is actually quite true. Problem is, these tests were based on single sips, which will always favor the sweeter taste. Because of this, Coke dumped hundreds of millions of dollars into changing their recipe, which resulted in the disaster of New Coke. Turns out, people don't really want to drink an entire can of the sweeter product, because it is simply too much to handle.

They reintroduced the original recipe as "Classic Coke," and began to dominate again.

I can only surmise that you taste Coke as being sweeter, because you last tried it when it was New Coke, c. 1985? You could be one of those that abandoned it in droves and never looked back.

It pretty much is. At least, it will be soon enough.

well i taste dry wine as sweeter than sweet wine so maybe he is percieving a certain type of sweetness?

It will be very hard for Pepsi to catch up to Coke.

Don't drink sugary soft drinks - they are bad for you.

Posting all day in forums are bad for you too Mr. "I've only been here since January and I already knotched 1400 posts." Now get off my lawn.

Not that it makes it any better, but, I post here to kill time at work - no where/when else.
