here's one of lifes big questions. which is better, pepsi or coke?

They're teh same thing.

Pepsi...They have a cooler label.

Pepsi Max. everything else blows in comparison.

Pepsi, the flavor somewhat sweeter, less bitter.

Coke certainly. Pepsi is too sweet.

But I don't like cola in the first place, give me some Dr. Pepper.

Gooo D.p.

RC cola

I've yet to see anyone do Pepsi on a mirror.

just a thought... do you have Pepsi Max in the US? i don't remember seeing it when i was over there :confused:

I dunno. I usually avoid sodas since their unhealthy...

I tried but I couldn't keep a line.

i don't think we do have pepsi max in the US.

Diet Pepsi. Diet Coke is a tad acidic...

My favorite soda though would be Diet Cherry Pepsi and Diet Mountain Dew Code Red.

(I don't drink regular sodas)

I'm extremely biased as my dad works at Buffalo Rock, totally a Pepsi plant, but I think Pepsi is better than Coke, though Dr. Pepper is the best soft drink I've ever had. (Mr. Pibb isn't nearly as good!)

And no, I don't think we have Pepsi Max in the US.

I like Vanilla coke...

coke because pepsi is too sweet and generally doesn't taste well

Pepsi, the flavor somewhat sweeter, less bitter.

:fluffle: Normally when I try and explain to people pepsi is sweeter they look at me blankly and assume I'm mad, but 'tis true!!! :D

i don't think we do have pepsi max in the US.
you're missing out. its the best.
its like normal pepsi, but a little sweeter, but with no sugar, and it has loads of caffeine in it!

Diet Pepsi. Diet Coke is a tad acidic...

My favorite soda though would be Diet Cherry Pepsi and Diet Mountain Dew Code Red.

)
i like code red mt.dew also

Never been much of a fan of either.
But here they still do coke in proper glass bottles and there is a definite taste difference. I'm slowly becoming addicted to it.

i like code red mt.dew also
Ditto. But I can't see myself drinking diet anything. :eek:

Pepsi is sweeter... coke is smoother.

i slightly favor Pepsi (though i like coke too).

Normally when I try and explain to people pepsi is sweeter they look at me blankly and assume I'm mad, but 'tis true!!! :D
i would have to agree. thats why i like pepsi better

Want more, more, more of that great Pepper taste!

(Diet Dr. Pepper!)

Ditto. But I can't see myself drinking diet anything. :eek:
agreed

pepsi. make it diet though. i dont consume sugar. i like the fact it that it tastes like chemicals.

What can I say, I come from a Pepsi family.

Myself>Pepsi-One.
Dad>Diet Pepsi.
Mom>Diet Moutain Dew.

But Sprite DOES taste better then dew i admit that..

Hm....*thinks hard* I'd have to say I prefer Cherry cola over Pepsi, but putting all things aside, Dr. Pepper most deffinitely kicks ass.

Why is the poll graph bar for coke blue, and the pepesi one red? Shouldn't it be vise versa?

I have a friend (well, ex-friend) who told me that Pepsi donated to the GOP and Coke to the Democrats, and that was why he only drank Coke products. The labels are a little reversed for such a divide, though...and yes, you can all throw pies at me for being the first to bring politics into this thread.

That said, I like Pepsi better, but I drink Coke as well. Coke has an aftertaste that's slightly unpleasant, but I don't notice it in Cherry Coke.

All my life, Dr Pepper has been my soda of choice. It pwnz all.

Though I have become addicted to Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper. It has no sugar, but it doesn't taste like a diet drink. Makes me a happy sugar buster.

Pepsi is better because I hate coke and it is made by the same people that make Dew

Ok...

Coke is the best. Pepsi is okay, but I don't like Diet Pepsi. Diet Coke, I do like.

Here's a real melon-twister:

Why in the hell is Canada Dry manufactured in Plano, Texas?

I have a friend (well, ex-friend) who told me that Pepsi donated to the GOP and Coke to the Democrats, and that was why he only drank Coke products.


I'm pretty sure Coke has donated massive amounts of money to the GOP. But the reason I don't drink it is because of their long term involvement in Columbia, killing union organizers, privatizing water, contributing to the huge mess down there etc... (that and it's unhealthy)

Here's a real melon-twister:

Why in the hell is Canada Dry manufactured in Plano, Texas?
it's because canada can't do anything for themselves. :D

neither, my tooth fillings act up.

Here's a real melon-twister:

Because unlike Canada, Texas really is a whole 'nother country. :D

Diet Pepsi Twist!

here's one of lifes big questions. which is better, pepsi or coke? Nither, Mt-dew rules!

Nither, Mt-dew rules!
actually Mt-dew sucks and it tastes crapy

Is there really any question as to what brand is best???

it's because canada can't do anything for themselves. :D

Coke is crap Pepsi is crappier

Tight poll.

I prefer Coke of the two, but rarely drink dark colas.
Pepsi isn't bad, but a bit sweet for my taste.

pepsi doesn't leave a bad after taste in your mouth

Coke, especially Vanilla Coke.

pepsi doesn't leave a bad after taste in your mouth

Neither does Coke. You sure you're drinking Coke and not, you know, crap?

Coke makes my teeth feel soft and rubbery. I love that feeling!

hehe tied.

Except 9 that voted tastes the same. Which they don't.. pepsi is sweeter, coke has more of a 'kick'. But its all in the tastebuds of the drinker I suppose :)

Non-American Coke.
Even better: Cherry.

Lime Coke is weird and should be banned.
Dr.Pepper should be up for Texans.

Coke! Goodness, must be Coke!

Pepsi has that slight, fake sweetener aftertaste to it that I cannot stand.

Funny how I live in Cali.

i don't think that is a good thing for your teeth

Pepsi is a flatter version of Coke. The only reason why pepsi is still around is because it is blue (see my flag). Coke is teh r0xx0rz.

Coke has been around way longer. Plus, Pepsi spends millions on ads to just make Coke look stupid. Instead of trying to make fun of the rival brand, why don't they get original (like Coke)? Coca Cola is the original and always will be. Pepsi blows.

Wow. I didn't think people had such strong opinions on soft drink preference.

Pepsi of course. When I drink Coke I feel like I'm force feeding myself highly acidic enzymes.

Soft drinks will eventually decide the fate of the world. Just wait and see.

Pepsi is too sweet for me... like coke... or RC

Coke is so much better... Pepsi tastes awful...

Cherry is teh roxor!

And Doctor Pepper is only good with Taco Bell :D

They're both equally disgusting.

coke and obviously the Sam's Club and Safeway stores agree with me

everyone wants to make a knockoff coke in a red can and sell it for 15 cents in a vending machine but nobody wants to make a knockoff pepsi and do the same. obviously its because its not as good as coke.

Coke. It works better for mixing in drinks.

I'll drink either though.

To me, Coke seems to have a stronger flavour, but Pepsi is more 'volume', like you get to drink more...

I go with coke though. Pepsi's nice, but I know Coke when I taste it.

coke...even though im drinking pepsi right now...

Pepsi - Coke is too syrupy.

Stewert's Orange Cream Soda.

Anything by Stewert's, really. Or Jones.

I'm a Pepsi man. Besides that I like the taste better, Coke is WAY to acidic for me. Makes me feel like I'm in an ALIEN movie.

Non-American Coke.
Even better: Cherry.

Lime Coke is weird and should be banned.
Dr.Pepper should be up for Texans.

Someone else knows that non-American Coke tastes different to American Coke! I'm not insane! Yeeeee!

Ahem... Australian Coke is the best. Australian Pepsi tastes like raw sewage mixed with clotted blood. Icky.

Oddly enough, American Pepsi actually tastes much more like Australian Coke than American Coke does. So if I were *American* I'd probably like the taste of Pepsi more.

*thanks any nearby deities that she's not American, 'cause Pepsi's advertising campaigns make her feel ill*

just a thought... do you have Pepsi Max in the US? i don't remember seeing it when i was over there :confused:

No, and we dont want it. We have something called Pepsi Edge. Its basically the same thing. But again you can find a dozen variations of pepsi. Pepsi,Vanilla Pepsi, Cherry Pepsi, Holiday Spice Pepsi, Pepsi Edge, Pepsi Twist, Pepsi One and all its diet off shoots.

Coke has been around way longer. Plus, Pepsi spends millions on ads to just make Coke look stupid. Instead of trying to make fun of the rival brand, why don't they get original (like Coke)? Coca Cola is the original and always will be. Pepsi blows.

Theres only a 13 years difference in when they were originally founded. Pepsi 1898 and Coke was 1886. Pepsico is a much larger company than Coke will ever be. You can check the business stats section for this info. Pepsi will eventually overtake Coke in world consumption. Mark my words.

They're both equally disgusting.
you're opinion is just mean :(












I'm just funnin' ya.

I prefer Coke. Pepsi is a little too sweet for me... but then, over either of them, I'd take Afri-Cola. (Here in California, USA, it's a bit hard to come by, but when you really need German engineering, nothing else will do.)

This doesn't really surprise me. Neither Pepsi nor Coke are manufactured in a single, central global manufacturing plant. Thre are different manufacturing plants for different parts of the world, and they all need water, so each is going to use their local water supply for their products.

Have there been any allegations of Australian Pepsi "cutting corners"? Any strange reports of sewage lines or bad blood donations being diverted to them?

Pepsi Max. everything else blows in comparison.

Agreed 100%. Apart from Pepsi Max, I like Vanilla Coke. Cherry coke, on the other hand... euggghhhhh...

My dad said that Coke made in Mexico tastes like dirt. The reason being that it actually has quite a lot of dirt in it.

Wow. I didn't think people had such strong opinions on soft drink preference.

You'd be surprised... wars have been started over less than this...

No allegations yet, but that should be easy enough to fix...

>.>
<.<

*calls the local tabloids*

Come on, it can't be as bad as Mexican Coke. The way my dad talks about it, anyway. It's as if they use water from the Rio Grande (one of the more polluted rivers on the planet).

Okay, it's just a coke logo.

i hate coke, it is so nasty, i like sunkist

Sunkist Orange is good. Damn good.

But Fanta Strawberry is still better, damnit. Damnit, I say!

i have to disagree
sunkist is the best damm pop out there

To each his own. Damnit.

Haha, this is so weird for me to read.
In Australia, there's no question. Pepsi doesn't even bother marketing Pepsi-cola here, Cadbury Schweppes owns the license to it. Pepsi Australia busies itself with chips...
The reason why Pepsi is sweet and coke is slightly more bitter/ has a kick is because pepsi has less caffiene in it than Coke... about 1/3 less in fact. And for all those who haven't eaten raw caffiene powder by the handful, caffiene is very bitter.

Schweppes


Now that's one hell of a drink. Schweppes Ginger Ale!

Now that's one hell of a drink. Schweppes Ginger Ale!
And Cadbury-Schweppes owns the planet.
Man I love Schweppes (branded) drinks, they refuse to use that plastic shit for their bottles, good on them. I dont want petrochemicals mixed up with my alkaloid industrial cleaners.

die cokehttp://worldmall.com/kannon/cokerndl.gif :mp5:

It's a *bad* thing that seeing that made me instantly start craving coke, isn't it? Damn advertising/physical addiction to caffeine...


*runs off to get a big glass of ice cold coke. Mmmmmmmmmcaffeine*

coca cola every time - just tastes nicer imo

I'm surprised I haven't had caffeine withdrawl symptoms as I've gone back to my pre-USA habits...virtually no Coke and coffee/mochas once in a bluemoon..ok between once a month to once every two. But then I had a lot of coffee on the plane...and my second ever Mountain Dew...and two mini-coke cans...


I wonder what the original green cocaine Coke tasted like?

Pepsi

You people are all tasteless, if you dont like Jones, Jones is awsome!

Pepsi or Coke?

They're both rank.
Give me ice cubes anyday.

I voted for Coke, but Irn Bru is the best.

Coke - Pepsi is far too sweet. But I much prefer Virgin Cola. Nicer, and cheaper!

I'm hooked on Sierra Mist. Was different the first few times I drank it, but now I like it better than 7UP and Sprite!

Stewert's Orange Cream Soda.

Anything by Stewert's, really. Or Jones.


Thats sounds yummy.

i hate coke, it is so nasty, i like sunkist


Yeah Sunkist is a good soda. But after a few glasses I'm tired of it. I buy maybe 2 16 or 20oz. bottles of it a year to get my fix.

Coca-cola is the only thing I drink. I always drink one or two 1.5 liter bottles a day.

I can't stand Pepsi at all. It's too sweet and the taste sticks in your mouth. It's disgusting.

Shouldn't you be dead by now?

Coke, but for soda it has to be Mountain Dew Code Red. Oh yeah!

I prefer Pepsi, although to be honest I only drink about one soda a month. They're kinda yucky. And they aren't good for you either.

One per month? Are you outta your mind?

Sometimes, I drink three a day!

Guess how many I drink? I drink around 10 a year.

Two words: Drink more.

Jones Soda is pretty good.
I don't know how much of you have ever drank it though.
