Pepsi Products vs. Coke Products

Coke is better than Pepsi, but Cherry Coke is equal to Wild Cherry Pepsi, and Mountain Dew is better than Mello Yello, but I don't really drink either of those anymore. But, all that said, I voted for Coke because Coke itself is better than Pepsi. And I've been to the World of Coke.

Coke always, but I will always truly be a Dr. Pepper man.

Although I have broken myself of the habit, after 20-some years of hydrating exclusively with Diet Coke, I gotta vote Coke here.  NOTE TO SERVERS IN RESTAURANTS ALL OVER AMERICA: NO, DIET PEPSI IS NOT OKAY.

Another easy vote for Coke here. Though I will take the Pepsi if that's all they have.

I particularly love Coke Zero. I far prefer it to regular Coke and Diet Coke. In fact, I think it's the greatest soda ever created. One time my boss was asking me why I drink Coke Zero, and I said because I loved it so much. She said, "Studies have shown that diet soda doesn't help people lose weight." I said, "I know, I'm not on a diet. I just like it." Becoming frustrated, she said, "Well, diet sodas are even worse for you than regular."

I said, "I know, and I don't care. I like Coke Zero more than being alive."

She dislikes morbid humor and that shut her up.

Rarely drink sodas anymore, but based on the flagship products alone, Coke>Pepsi always and forever. Also helps that regular Coke is an excellent cure for hangovers/nausea. Can't tell you how pissed I was when my university switched to Pepsi machines in the dorm.

Furthermore, those Pepsi: Choice of a new Generation ads were the first ad campaign I remember having an irrational hatred for. Fuck You and your Pepsi Generation! You Don't Speak For Me!

However, for the undercards it's more competative.

Diet Pepsi>Diet Coke. Almost never drank diet sodas, even when I drank sodas more regularly. But Diet Coke is foul. I'm astounded by how popular it is, it just tastes off. Diet Pepsi is acceptable, and in fact I'd say it's frankly comparable to regular Pepsi in that it cuts down on the gross sweetness of the latter.

Sprite>7Up. Very close in taste, but again Sprite seems less overly sweet. The less said about Pepsico's Mountain Spew the better.

Dr. Pepper>Cherry Coke. Generally despise cherry-flavored stuff, but Dr. Pepper is tolerable as I remember it easing up on the fake taste and over sweetness (think there's a pattern here).

Gatorade>Powerade. Gatorade is more watery, so a nice cold one is genuinely refreshing. Other electrolyte themed drinks tend to be too sugary for my tastes. The excess sweetness defeats the purpose by dehydrating me.

You can all kindly GTFO. Pepsi forever. Although I will never forgive them for discontinuing the original Sierra Mist and remaking it into a bland, watered-down shell of itself.

Also, where are the other people who voted Pepsi? I can't be the only one representing here.

I vote Pepsi too, I am always confused by those who consider it sweeter than Coke. To me Pepsi has bit of a bite whereas Coke is more syrupy. Because of that, Coke is a much better mixer and I cannot live without my Jack and Coke. But given a choice it tends to be Wild Cherry Pepsi>Cherry Coke>Pepsi>Coke.

Of course a true fountain Coke with cherry syrup does beat about anything.

Those grocery store taste tests were very easy though.

Which one makes seltzer water, with several dashes of bitters added to it? I prefer that one.

I too vote Coke Zero, because I like the taste, but also because I just can't get myself to drink a can of sugar water if I can avoid it. And I know the jury is out on artificial sweeteners being as bad or worse than sugar, but hell at least I won't get cavities.

It's nowhere near ginger beer but it's slightly more ginger-y than regular Schweppes.

Fun fact: Celery bitters (The Bitter Truth makes them) in seltzer (or club soda) is my go to upset stomach cure. It totally works.

So she thinks you should be drinking regular Coke because it's the healthier choice?

I don't drink them anymore, but when I did I was a Pepsi man all the way.

Man, I wish I could have had a chance to be there. Hanging out with you probably would have made Go look G-rated! 

Seriously though, these anecdotes are awesome and I hope you never stop posting them.
