Pepsi vs Coke

[Peoplesnem]

Which is better Pepsi or coke? (this is opinion based i know)

[Sajuuk]

I've learned that, originally or in some facet, Coke has a lemon flavor base while Pepsi has a lime flavor. Somewhere in there anyway. So that's how I think of the two and I don't much favor one over the other. I like em both even though I don't really drink cola at all anymore.

[Miss_Kat]

I'd rather have Dr. Pepper than either, but if forced to choose, I always go with Pepsi (throwback, preferably.) Coke, while tolerable, feels kinda burn/stingy in my mouth. No idea why.

[whynocheese]

NO idea why probably force of habit but I go Coke where possible like in a grocery store but if it isn't available then Peps is just fine.

[morvelaira]

I come from a long family line out of Atlanta. Coke or nothing >.>

[kaos78414]

I'm a Dr. Pepper person as well, but out of coke or pepsi, I'd go with pepsi, just because I like the taste just a smidge more than coke.

[FurkeyRefills]

My soft drink preference fluctuates depending on what the current price is at the shop up the road from my house ;)
Last week you could buy 6 cans of Pepsi for £1. (About $1.60)

Cheap drinks= Get in my belly !

Coke or nothing

This.

[Peoplesnem]

Well guys this is helpful.i am planing a little thing based off the results of this little test, this will be asked for the next week. Answer is awesome thanks to you that have so far.

[Poppycocks]

Kofola.

[TaterBoy]

When people say Coke or Pepsi...I always say Root Beer. Smoother, no caffeine, and to me it's much sweeter than either of them.

[rmdashrrootsplat]

Neither... I stopped drinking soda. :)

[Peoplesnem]

Bad trolls are bad. If your going to troll at least be better about it... Coke or pepsi is the question, not other drinks. Thanks

[BinoAl]

Just call me scarface... I love coke.

[TaterBoy]

I wouldn't define what I said as trolling, and I doubt anyone else would. Not liking Pepsi or Coke as much as Root Beer is just a difference of opinion. And having a rational reason for disagreeing with something is miles away from what trolling is. (irrationally attacking something just to make a scene. Or as the Urban Dictionary defines it:

Troll
One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument.

My advice: think through your responses a little more carefully, try not to accuse people of bad behavior when they are clearly not behaving badly. Or assume you know the precise intentions of a person whom you have never met. The list goes on, but I won't.

Gun to my head though, I would choose Coke; my opinion of Pepsi is that it tastes a little bit like artificial sweetener, or coke that has gone flat and then re-chilled. It just doesn't sit well with my palette.

I'd take my own advice on that one man. Your response here is rather disproportionate to what was said.

Let's drop the hostility on all sides or the thread will be locked.

I've got two answers to this one. I prefer Coke to Pepsi, but I prefer Diet Pepsi to Diet Coke.

[Derzuel]

Now that I think about it I would have to say pepsi, it just seems to have more flavor. How ever, I'd prefer DR Pepper or a strong ginger ale if I could get it. All in all though I'm not much a soda drinker, I'm more of a coffee and tea drinker.

[Peoplesnem]

Thanks you guys your all helping. And my message had the desired effect of sending the message i am only interested in coke or pepsi... I would do other but i only have time for two, the two most people normally consider the "main" soft drinks. I like Cream soda best my self. but really please remember to answer the question, feel free to add addition opinion if you like.

[Robilar]

Though I avoid both, I'd pick Pepsi, since it's further away from battery acid than coke is.

A note: Battery Acid = bad to drink.

[TheAnarchitect]

Pepsi is the only companies to successfully Brand me. It was the soda of choice among my family growing up, and I imprinted on it. I will NOT drink any other Cola, be it Coke or generic brand or whatever.

Subjectively, when I drink Pepsi, I taste sugar and feel the caffeine. When I drink Coke I taste carbonation and feel my teeth being dissolved in acid.

[kaos78414]

I already answered (pepsi), but I thought this might be of interest to anyone following this thread: http://popvssoda.com/countystats/total-county.html

It's a map of the US showing where people refer to soft drinks as pop or soda or coke, etc. I find it's pretty accurate. I'm from South Texas and we call every soft drink coke. That often confuses people up north who refer to it as pop, because they'll think I'm literally talking about coca cola. Anyway, don't wanna derail the thread, just thought it was interesting.

[DaveYanakov]

Diet Pepsi is what I was raised on but for some reason regular Coke seems superior to regular Pepsi. It just hasn't been the same since they took the namesake out of the formula though.

I don't drink much in the way of carbonation anymore but when I do it's mostly a mix of Dr Pepper, root beer, brewed tea, ginger ale and a liberal dose of water.

[Itamarcu]

I hate both. But I hate lots of drinks and food, perhaps because I'm anosmic.

[Urian]

I drink both but I'd say I slightly favor coke. Mostly I think it's because I like the light version of coke more even if I very seldom drink the light versions.
