Coke vs Pepsi

[papayahed]

I know it's tough to decide but we must put this issue to bed.

[skib]

Coke with a cocktail, Pepsi plain. Any help? ;)

[papayahed]

Works for me.

[Homers_child]

Coke. No question.

:banana:

[Niamh]

pepsi.

[Virgil]

Definitely Coke and Diet Coke over Diet Pepsi too.

[Hurricane]

Coke and Coke Zero. Or the Cherry Coke Zero I'm enjoying now!

[Scheherazade]

Coke Zero for me though I am off fizzy drinks altogether... Well, Coke Zero only as that was the only fizzy drink I used to have. Never been a fan of Fanta or Sprite kinds.

[Maryd.]

Coke, Coke, Coke, by a mile... Yum!

[JBI]

Coke Zero for me though I am off fizzy drinks altogether... Well, Coke Zero only as that was the only fizzy drink I used to have. Never been a fan of Fanta or Sprite kinds.

What's the difference between Coke zero and Diet Coke?

[Hurricane]

Coke Zero tastes more like normal Coke, but without the fuzzy, sugar-coated feeling on your teeth after.

[Niamh]

am i seriously the only lover of pepsi?!!! :(

[Shalot]

am i seriously the only lover of pepsi?!!! :(

no, pepsi is really good. for a while, they were selling Pepsi throwback which was Pepsi sweetened with actual sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. But they stopped selling it. I read the sugar tariff is real high and that's why all the soft drinks in America are sweetened with high fructose corn syrup. I can't find Pepsi Throwback anymore though. :(

[Virgil]

What's the difference between Coke zero and Diet Coke?

I think it's a different type of artificial sweetner. Supposedly Coke Zero is closer to a regular Coke taste. I haven't tasted it enough to verify.

[higley]

Coke all the way! I always liked the taste better.

Plus, there is a sort of superficial reason I have. I grew up in Columbus where scarlet is very prominent and represents the home team (Ohio State's colors are scarlet and gray), and blue represents the bad guys (Michigan, "maize" and blue) so I always associated Coke and Pepsi by their respective colors and their respective colors by the team they represent in my mind. Dumb I know but it's so fully ingrained.

[TheFifthElement]

Where's the option for store brand cola?

I drink neither. Both are overpriced, sugar filled, fizzy rubbish that rots your bones. And it's addictive. Give me a nice glass of milk or water any day.

If I was forced to drink one or the other it'd be Pepsi. I find Coca Cola oppressively sweet :sick:

[papayahed]

The goal is to find out what brand, out of the two brands listed, do linet soda drinkers prefer.

[Snowqueen]

I like Pepsi. I hope it wins.

[Niamh]

tia Maria and Coke or Pepsi... but with Kahlua its gotta be pepsi. oh yeay!

I've never heard of Throwback... interesting. Shame you cant get it anymore though. Its like vanilla Coke here. non existant. :(

Sweeteners vary between countries anyway - when I was still working in the supermarket, I just told people it's a difference in packaging.

Supposedly though, Canadian coke tastes better than American coke - I don't drink either regularly, but supposedly the sweetener is better.

[papayahed]

oh, I love the Pepsi with real sugar even more then I love Pepsi/Coke with High Fructose Corn Syrup

[Scheherazade]

Canadian coke tastes better than American coke Well, we didn't see that one coming!

:D

[toni]

:nod: My sentiments exactly. Though in the past... I preferred sprite over coke and pepsi.

[Helga]

coke every time, don't even taste the other stuff. but the best one is the icelandic one... I've tried from Denmark, Germany, spain and the UK. here is the best water witch results in the best coke.. not that I'm bragging.

[Niamh]

There is a coca cola made in one of the arabic countries that is god awful. One of the chippies down in Clontarf always has the arabic coke. they must get it cheap at some import wholesale rather than get it from Coca Cola Ireland.

There's a difference in taste between where it's made? I would have thought the process was standardized.

nah depending on bottling plant the hardness/softness of the water will effect taste

[Shalot]

In Atlanta there is a place you can to called World of Coke and they have different varieties and flavors of Cokes sold all over the world and those flavors were vary different from what we have in the States. They had ginger coke - I remember that as being odd. I think that is sold in China but I'm not sure. Some of it was god awful but it has been so long that I can't remember which ones I really hated.

[Virgil]

nah depending on bottling plant the hardness/softness of the water will effect taste

Hmm, I guess so, but I would have developed a process that makes uniform the hardness of the water. Can't you add minerals to the water to soften it? Or what about distilling the water? Doesn't that bring it to a basic chemistry? (Not sure that's the right way to express that last question, but I think you know what I mean.) Of course all those things would probably increase the price.

yeah, you can do all those things - the easier would be the distilling it to remove the hardness. this of course is something they have to do anyway for filtering their machines etc. Oh, and todays usless piece of info for anyone that drinks aquafina or dasani - did you know until the bottled water craze hit that was basically a waste stream for coke & pepsi? You are now paying for their garbage; well done and only at a huge increase in cost to the wonderful water coming out of your tap

[Nightshade]

am i seriously the only lover of pepsi?!!! :(

No I am one too! Although I do like coke zero but definatly pespi.

( Coke though is cheaper and can be used to clean burnt pans and bleech toilets and as I am not tem,pted to drink as much of it as pepsi it a good bargin! - cleaning prdocut and drink- drink while you clean! :lol: )

[Virgil]

:lol: Actually that is true I believe for all sodas, not just coke. Really there's a price difference between coke and pepsi where you live? I don't believe so here, though perhaps (and I'm just going by my perception) coke tends to be on sale more often.

[Nightshade]

Wait are you talking about Meccacola? because that is made in France. Or Sport cola? That stuff is just wierd ( but made in Egypt) Mind you I did get very very sick after a school trip to the coca cola factory in Cairo...
:eek2:

[Stargazer86]

Pepsi is soo much better than coke with the exception of Coke in the glass bottle. mmmm

[*Classic*Charm*]

I miss the days when they had the flavoured Coke...Vanilla Coke and Cherry Coke. Those were great. Too bad I stopped drinking coke except when mixed with alcohol.

[Shalot]

yes - it depends on what you're drinking out of as to how it tastes. Coke Classic in plastic bottles isn't worth the calories or tooth decay, but there's nothing better than a cold coke in an old class bottle or a fountain coke when the carbonated water and syrup is mixed right. And i don't mind cold coke in a 12 ounce can either.

Pepsi is better than coke in the bottles but sometimes in the cans it's too sweet...I've had that happen before.

[formality hater]

I'll go for coca cola, it's less sugary!

You can still get Vanilla Coke. I usually find it at rest stops/gas stations.


If I was forced to drink one or the other it'd be Pepsi. I find Coca Cola oppressively sweet :sick:

Odd, because Pepsi has more sugar in it...



It's hard for me to decide. I voted Pepsi, but I've drank much more Coke in my life. I always tell people that Coke is my true love, and Pepsi's my mistress.

I used to be a Coke addict. (:eek:) Sometimes I could drink as many as 5 cans a day. But when you drink so much soda, it just isn't the same anymore. That's how I met Pepsi. And that new logo...I love it. I don't even know why, I just find it aesthetically pleasing. Coke's packaging is so last year.

I was surfing the web and I found this: New Pepsi Logo Design (http://bunnitude.com/misc/files/pepsi_gravitational_field.pdf). Supposedly the logo is based on the golden ratio. Yeah, I'm not sure what to think either.

And yes, I found the logo aesthetically pleasing before I read that. I mean, just look at this:

Lastly, I always thought Pepsi was a liberal's soda, while Coke was a conservative's soda. Is that strange? It makes me wonder though, because I used to be more conservative, but then I became more liberal and started drinking Pepsi. Hmm.

[Kafka's Crow]

Pepsi MAX!

no this stuff was covered in arabic writing, was made somewhere near Saudi and tastes metalic. :sick: its vial.

[Mathor]

Coke wins hands down! My favorite being Cherry Coke. I also enjoy Diet Coke and Coke makes the greatest rootbeer (Barqs)

But i've been kind of cutting back on Coke recently and usually only drink water now. But it's good stuff, I'll agree. Can't really get into Pepsi, unless it's Dr. Pepper.

[Niamh]

oh dr pepper wins hands down from the lot of them. i love it!

[Mathor]

Shot of Amaretto, shot of Vanilla Vodka, Coke = tastes just like the old school Cherry-Vanilla Coke, and gets you drunk.

[higley]

Maybe it's the colors :D There's a Coke Vanilla Zero about six inches away from me, it's not too bad though I do prefer Diet Dr Pepper or root beer above all else.

Steak n Shake will now add cherry, vanilla or chocolate syrup to any of your soft drinks, delish. Not too sure about the chocolate.

Steak and shake? What's that? We don't have that around here and I've never seen it. Sounds like I might like it. :)

[The Comedian]

Coke is the best. But if we had the choice of the too-often ridiculed "Crystal Pepsi", then I think no other soda could even compare the the crystalline grandeur of that wondrous carbonated beverage.

[Zeniyama]

Pepsi's too sweet for me. I prefer Coke's more acidic taste. Plus, I love rum cake, and rum and coke is basically the same thing except with a changed letter and an added word.

[higley]

I looked it up on wikipedia and apparently it's exclusive to the Midwest/South. Steak 'n Shake is the prime watering hole for those on a low budget. It has sort of a fifties flavor, with themed waiter uniforms and tables. Their specialties are steakburgers and milkshakes and boy howdy are they divine. I feel sorry that your neck of the woods is bereft of this delectable franchise.

We got enough of those type of places around here. We've got a place called Fatburger. Can you imagine anyone wanting to watch their figure deciding to eat at a place called Fatburger. It too has a 50's type theme.

[higley]

Fatburger? ewww. It's probably no worse than any other low cost diners but at least those other ones don't rub your nose in it!

[Janine]

am i seriously the only lover of pepsi?!!! :(

No, I love Pepsi! However, I have not had Pepsi now for awhile. Believe it or not, I liked it better when it had sacharin in it; I had gotten used to that flavor since I only drink diet. Also, I am not suppose to drink it with my medical problems and if I do, I have to use a natural substance that neutralizes the acid. I liked it better when they didn't use aspertane; someone told me that when that substance reaches body temperature, it actually turns into formaydahyde...not sure how much truth there is to that; but when I do drink it, I find I get aches in my legs sometimes. Heck, why do all the good things end up being detrimental to you? I desire a Pepsi once in awhile and then I drink one anyway.

[Virgil]

Fatburger? ewww. It's probably no worse than any other low cost diners but at least those other ones don't rub your nose in it!
:lol: I know, right!

[papayahed]

When I first moved to Shreveport I drove passed a Fatburger and had to go in because any place that would call itself Fatburger has to make a darn good cheeseburger. I was right, except it soooo freakin' expensive. However nothing will ever replace White Castle in that special greasy spot in my heart.

How expensive? I didn't think they were that pricey but I haven't gone in there in ages. White Castle...Urrrgh. :sick: Every time i hear the name I get reflexes in my abdomen. ;)

I concur with you about White Castle...or as dad always said, the Porcelain Palace.

[papayahed]

I remember paying ~$8 for a regular cheeseburger meal deal.

oh, and those abdomen reflexes - your abdomen is supposed to have a nice coating of alcohol before even considering ingesting square of meatlike cheesy goodness (aka White castle cheeseburger). Ahhhhhhh chicken rings, little mini corn dogs.......*sigh*

[Virgil]

I remember paying ~$8 for a regular cheeseburger meal deal.

That's what I remember too. But it's not a McDonalds and that's about $3 more than their meal deal. At least around NYC. Unless i go for fast food, i can't seem to get lunch for less than $8 any more.

Oh Steak n Shake is the bomb shiznit (yeah I just said that). I love it I love those skinny french fries - I love the prices. My husband thinks it's nasty because he's a restaurant snob so I don't ever get to go hardly.

[Janine]

I remember when I could eat nearly anything put before me, going very late at night to South Phillie to get a real SP greasy cheese-steak on a hard roll...Now that I think of it, Payapahed, my stomach was indeed coated with alchohol....maybe that was better than an antacid! :lol: All I remember, is the memory of how good that tasted at the time and it's still ingrained in thoughts; I think my taste buds are beginning to react. I wish I had one of those right now....yummmm....Oh well, those were the days!

[Haunted]

whoa...when they sold it here it was in a blue can with Pepsi written in a different font then the current Pepsi logo design they're using. And they had Mountain Dew with an older bottle design too.

Isn't it crazy watching old movies and seeing the way soft drink cans used to look?

[OrphanPip]

I could go either way, I don't really like cola that much.

As an interesting anecdote about Pepsi. In Quebec it's stereotypically considered a French Canadian drink because Pepsi associated itself with francophone advertising and eventually with separatist celebrities. It reached a point where "a Pepsi" became a derogatory term for a French Canadian amongst Montreal anglophones, although it's considered a bit old fashioned now. Today Quebec is one of the few places in the world where Pepsi outsells coke.

[Heathcliff]

Pepsi.
Does anyone get a tingly feeling ringing through their body either when they are anxious and excited? I get the same thing from two other things: Coca-Cola and KFC.
It doesn't make me feel bad but I don't like it. It can't be good for me.
Anyway, I think flat Pepsi tastes better than flat Coca-Cola.

[Shalot]

Where would I get me some of that?!

I don't know. Apparently it's only offered for a limited time in limited places. Like, papaya is in LA I think and I am in Tennessee. We had it here in Tennessee a few months ago but now they don't sell it here anymore. But, it looks like they're selling it LA now. So, i guess it's making the rounds. I think it's difficult to distribute because it's made with real sugar instead of HFCS and real sugar is more expensive etc.

Do you have Pepsi in the UK at all? What is it sweetened with? Actually, it doesn't even have to be a Pepsi - what's in your soft drinks? Do they have high fructose corn syrup? Most all the soft drinks here in the USA are sweetened with High Fructose Corn Syrup instead of sugar and I was thinking that High Fructose Corn Syrup was a sweetner used primarily in the USA.

Of course we have Pepsi! I'm not sure what it's sweetened with though, I've never thought to look to be honest. If I was inclined to do so, I would go and search in the bin for a can, but I'm not. Will they not make it the same for every country?

no I'm pretty sure most places sweeten their pepsi and coke with plain old natural sugar. in the united states we sweeten everything with high fructose syrup. and everyone here is fat. but I could so go for a pepsi right now. I'm dying of thirst.

[papayahed]

I think it's way cheaper to use high fructose corn syrup then sugar (at least in the US).


In the European Union (EU), HFCS, known as isoglucose or glucose-fructose syrup:, is subject to a production quota. In 2005, this quota was set at 303,000 tons; in comparison, the EU produced an average of 18.6 million tons of sugar annually between 1999 and 2001.[30] Therefore, wide scale replacement of sugar has not occurred in the EU. In Japan, HFCS consumption accounts for one quarter of total sweetener consumption.

Yeah, you're right. I've just bought a bottle of Coca Cola and it just says sugar. I wonder if they taste any different.

[papayahed]

To me they taste different. It's like the difference between powdered cheese and real cheese on my mac and cheese.

[Veho]

Oh, I want to try some Coke from the US now, to taste the difference. What's a 'mac and cheese'?

[SleepyWitch]

I voted Coke. I only drink Diet Coke or Cola Zero though... ok, I'll admit I'm a Diet Coke adict, I can go through anything from 3 to 6 cans a day. But I can't drink either 'proper' Coke or Pepsi or any other fizzy drink because it makes my teeth "furry". I get massive cavities as soon as I'm anywhere near a sugared fizzy drink.

wow, this is the first time I've ever heard about that high glucose syrup.

my husband's colleague said that the zero calorie sweeteners in Diet Coke cause cavities. Have you guys heard about that? :eek: I hope it's not true, otherwise I'll either have to kick the habit or I've got my next 30 root canals planned out for me.

[applepie]

I'm a Coca-Cola girl, no other way to go. Pepsi is far too sweet for me:) I do like all the other Pepsi products, though, but only Coke will do for cola and cherry cola.

[Koa]

DIET COKE

not because it's diet, just for the taste.

I don't even really know what Pepsi tastes like, wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

I used to never drink Coke-like stuff before I moved to the UK. Then I started because in social situations, what do I drink... at home I'd drink Ice Tea but not available here in bars... I turned to beer as well as Coke but I don't always want beer, I didn't like it either before coming to the UK. Of course in certain occasion I drink beer and other alcoholic stuff, but I'm talking of plain drinks, not big nights out.

And whisky and coke is okay :D

My friend Bart standing behind me urges me to tell you that he thinks this is not a valid discussion because it's a matter of taste. Yes, he's boring and I told him so :D He says however we could discuss commercials :confused:

Well, in that case, Coke definitely wins! Pepsi really doesn't have anything to compare to the classic, "I'd like to buy the world a coke"...or a symbol that has become as beloved as the coke polar bears and didn't they do a lot to shape our modern image of Santa Claus? No contest! :p

[magzarelli]

Pepsi ftw

[soundofmusic]

I hate the inconsistent, loses it's fizz too fast of pepsi...Coke all the way...

[Calidore]

Am bummed that Costco has switched their fountains from Coke to Pepsi. Am especially bummed that this does not include root beer.

[Volya]

I prefer Pepsi although I predominantly drink Diet Coke because my mother drinks it and she is the one who does the shopping... Perhaps I only think I prefer Pepsi because I do not have it as much. Ah well. Pepsi Max is the nicest of all.

[cacian]

This is an old but timely thread nevertheless as I seldom drink cola except as a mixer with brandy. I'm not fussy but generally I prefer Pepsi cola in this instance and have a pack right next me to now to go with a bottle of Armagnac brandy.

I don't drink either one, unless it is late at night and I'm on the road and I stop at a McDonald's, or some fast food place that is still open, mainly because I'm tired, and then I order a burger, fries and a drink. That's when I have to choose.

In that situation, I usually pick a Mountain Dew, if it's available, because I'm under the illusion it is higher in caffeine and higher in sugar than the other options, whatever they were. I hope it will keep me awake.
