Coca-Cola and Pepsi are major competitors. When I ask someone if the like Coca-Cola or Pepsi, their reply is "they taste the same." I diagree. I can easily tell them apart. I have a hard time deciding what's better since they're both good in their own way. Coca-Cola has it's own flavor when Pepsi is sweeter. That's probably why it has more calories. Well, what do you think? What's better in taste?

I completely agree with you. I have been diabetic for 18 years now so I drink strictly diet soda. When I go into a restaurant I only have one choice. Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi. That being said if they serve Diet Pepsi, I drink water. I cannot stand the tast of Diet Pepsi and just like you said it tastes too sweet. It's not as crisp as Diet Coke.
manumiglani
I prefer coke.
Gieter
I also prefer Coca-Cola, but the difference between Coca-Cola and Pepsi is remarkable. Maybe the people who don't taste the difference have drunk so much Coca-Cola that their taste buds are gone because of the pH-value of coke.
KHO
Coca-cola is so much better, Pepsi tastes flat to me Neutral don't know why, but it does Neutral.

Besides, they both just rip eachothers products off like hell anyway Neutral. So they are pretty much the same thing besides that pepsi tastes like crap Neutral.
rafifaisal
I personally like coca cola.
The cherry flavour that pepsi released was discusting
Srs2388
I prefer pepsi...
its is one of my favorite drinks
coca-cola (to me)
isn't very good
Josso
A good debate. I can also tell the difference. I'm not sure it's quite a hard decision but I may have to go for coke because it's 2p cheaper over here right now.
g_unit90
I think Cola Turka




Blaster
They both are good. I would have to say i would vote for coca-cola though. It is more thirst quenching. Pepsi seems like it gets colder though. It is so hard to decide.
jaysen
Coke all the way... the only downside is it tends to go flat quicker than Pepsi does
Animal
Full-Fat Pepsi

Diet Coke.
Blaster
Diet pepsi is better them diet coke.
Soulfire
Coca-Cola is ALL nasty. Yuck. I can't even drink it, it tastes like liquid metal (not that I would know exactly how that tastes, but still).

Pepsi all the way. I really like Diet Pepsi. The only Coke I can tolerate would be Diet Coke... even then it's still not good.

You should make this a poll!

I prefer Coca Cola, but I prefer the European version. The american version tastes horrible, so I stick with Pepsi until I vacation.
william
I'm actually quite surprised. I expected people to chose Pepsi over Coke. Most people I ask either quickly say Pepsi or thinks for a short time and says Pepsi. I like both of them but which one I drink depends on my mood.
Hobbit
I like coca cola way better. I used to like Pepsi a lot, but it's just too sweet. And one time I went to the movies and they it was super sweet so since that day I don't drink it as much.
eday2010
I LOVE Coke. I used to be a Pepsi person, but once I moved back to Montreal, I found that the Pepsi there tasted funny. In fact it tastes funny in Eastern Ontario too. I have had others try it and they too said it tasted funny. Since then, I have bee drinking Coke and I hven't looked back. I drink Pepsi too, But not as often. Nothing beats a tall glass of Coke on lots of ice. Except more Coke on lots of ice Very Happy

Coka Cola are murderers so I would go with Pepsi.

Yeah... *shudder*

Coke by far.
Blaster
Both are soda so i don't see why you are argueing Razz

I am a root beer kinda guy so i really don't care. Soda is soda unless it is diet.
gh0stface
I'm not a huge pop drinker, however I always perferred Pepsi over coke. Unless it's Diet Coke and Rum. Wink

The Diet Coke tends to make the alcoholic drink even tastier.

Coke, to me, seems a lot more sweeter then Pepsi.
Nameless
I can't tell the difference between Coke and Pepsi *shrug*. I can tell the difference between Diet Coke/Coke Zero and Diet Pepsi/Pepsi Max, in which case I prefer Diet Coke/Coke Zero.
Jeslyn
I prefer Pepsi. There seems to be a bigger "kick" - more carbonated, if that's possible.
bjwok
anybody who drinks either of these two drinks (or their equivalents) more than once every 4 or so days, should seriously consider what it is doing to their health. how one can drink that amount of sugar in one hit (and then call it refreshing) is absolute madness!

a can of coke contains about 15 teaspoons of sugar. try eating that amount on its own, do it 3 times a day and watch how quickly your health deteriorates!

i personally gave up all soft drinks about 8 years ago and don't miss that sickly sweet umness one bit. i go for water when i want refreshing.

additional: ok, so i do enjoy the odd bourbon and coke, so i guess i will shut up!

they taste bad
I'd like to drink juice

afireinside
Coca-Cola wins hands down.

Coke has a much better flavour, where as Pepsi is an Artifical Copy of Coke.

Though, Pepsi is cheaper around here.
Strathmer
Coke is much better Very Happy And yes i can tell them apart to, pepsi is a lot sweeter than cokes is though. But i think pepsi vanillas better than coke vanilla.
alltalk
I like Coca-Cola more than Pepsi
The smell of Pepsi is worse than Coca-Cola
But I seldom drink them, I prefer drinking the cream soda more than Coca-Cola and Pepsi
Jayfarer
Pepsi. It's just Coke, but sweeter. I try and drink neither though. Big fan of the water.
windval
i prefer pepsi

coca cola is too sweet

many years ago

a scientist did a experiement

when some people know what they a drinking

they prefer coca cola

but if they do not know

they prefer pepsi~
Scorpio
I swear by pure water and also coconut water. Along with fresh fruit juices.

Not the acid, organ-burning soft drinks.

Pepsi and Coca Cola are equally terrible.

May be one of them is the lesser devil of the two, thats the only consolation.

I COMPLETELY agree (nearly), if I was talking about juices my favouite would be red Grape juice.

If I had to choose my favourite would be pepsi max though.

Well, I shouldn't say that. Tap water contains the hormone estrogen, and this because of the anti-conception pill of woman. That hormone can't be filtered, so it stays in the tap water.

When a man drinks tap water, he will also drink a small amount of estrogen. Tap water can increase the chance on infertility!

Can you quote your exact source? That's really interesting and something I haven't heard of.

About drinking juices, it's marginally better the pop but not by much. Just like pop contains sugar, juices contain quite a bit too.

Id choose coke...it jst tastes better
dont know why

Most of Coca-Cola is water...so in fact I am drinking water (sound reasoning from my coke loving viewpoint). Wink
Blaster
Then it is flavord water!!! With my favorite sugar. They are both good. Depends on if you are on a car ride or you are just sitting at home and eating dinner or such. Pepsi has more sugar so it makes you go to the bathroom more. So it isn't good for long car rides.
Jack_Hammer
Is it just me or does no-one seem to care that Coka Cola hires death squads?

What do you mean by death swuads? COKA - COLA is ten times better then pepsi.

If you had to choose between water(causing infertility) and coca-cola(or pepsi) it is better to choose water. You would end up infertile alone.

Drinking these soft drinks you'd probably end up without the reproductive organ.

They should devise new methods of safely disposing coca cola and pepsi (very much like disposing toxic waste)
thiamshui
i can't realli tell them apart although i have never drank them side by side before.. i guess i prefer coke, maybe perhaps due to the brand name.. Very Happy

it doesn't matter anyway, both goes down n comes out.. Laughing

I dont drink Coke or Pepsi very often but when i do there is one one choise, Pepsi Max, Coke is so sugary i think it tastes almost viscous >.<
KayosGraphix
I agree with ^, i'd choose pepsi if i wanted to drink it
Djim
Why not.... mezza cola Laughing
More seriously I think it's a big society problem for all the humans... choice beetwen coca cola and pepsi. For my part I prefer coca cola. Why? I don't know, maybe for the great ronald or not (I have never see a more frightening clown? )

How does Coca-Cola destroys your reproductive organs?

Coke. Pepsi is... pepsi. It just doesnt stack up.

That said, Frozen Run is better than either Coke or Pepsi. Or anything else for that matter.
william
Man, these results are not what I had expected. It seems that many people here don't like soda to begin with. The people that I've asked love soda and some are very strong about one or the other.

your so right with the diet but im my oppinion regular pepsie is better then regular coke. Have a nice day Very Happy

i can taste the difference too, but i think it's too similar.

Actually i prefer coke light, no matter coca-cola or pepsi.

Coke seems more thirst quenching. Pepsi is more of those drink drink drink type of soda. Coke is like sip....sip.....sip type of thing.
tkcy
I'm not a fan of cola. To me its like drinking acid. Hehe. I prefer beer! Haha. But i really have to choose, i would say its Pepsi! Cheers! Smile

definately coke. simply because, as most people seem to agree, pepsi tastes too sweet.

GARY6943
I like the cartoon by Gary Larson? it's the one about the pepsi factory worker who's been called into the managers office and is being fired for testing positive for Coke.
jabapyth
I dont drink either--they both taste ~not bad, but not very good either
And they have way too much caffine
william
I, personally, love soda. What surprises me is that a lot of people don't like soda. What's wrong with soda? (Other than the nutrition.)
talz
coke. pepsi is fowl.
fotanez
I agree. Pepsi is much sweeter. It depends on the person on their personal favorites. The harder, bitter taste is Coca-Cola. It tastes better than Pepsi, which tastes like candy. Give me some coke!
Greeny
You can easily tell coca cola from Pepsi.

They was a study a couple years back about this two, and the test both company drinks and find out that most poeple like Pepsi more then Coca cola, just becuase of the taste.

As where as people see Coca Cola a bigger company and will buy their drink more then Pepsi.

Coca Cola was drink 1 & Pepsi was drink 2, and was asked to say which one of the the two they liked more, forgot to add that they didn't tell the people what they was drinking. and most people choosed drink 2, and where told at the end what drink was what.
bulek
I prefer pepsi because it is cheaper and also better than coca-cola, but I can't neglect that coke from glass bottle is much more tasty than one in plastic bottle.
FlyingBurrito4
I like Coke itself over Pepsi, but if I'm choosing a product I'm going with Pepsi because they have Mountain Dew. I might stick with Coke if Mellow Yellow was still popular, and restaurants and stuff had it.
dragonflame
This should have a poll. It would be nice to know.

Anyway, Im sticking with coke bec I like the taste a bit better, and I like their ads more. Pepsi keeps making ads that are against coke, and coke just ignores them. Seems like very runner up behavior to me.

I like Coca-Cola is better than Pepsi because I have Coca-Cola almost every week because my next-door neighbor's father is a sales manager.

Actually it turns out that there's more to this study. I ready about this in Blink by Malcom Gladwell, interesting book.

Anyways this study turned out to be flawed only because pepsi is sweeter than coke. The study had people take a small sip of both colas and then decide which they perfered. When people only have a small amount of something, they usually go for the sweeter one, hence Pepsi's victory.

Coke was horrified by the results of this study and changed their entire coke formula, creating the ill fated "new coke". The took eveything the study showed and changed their creation according to it, in short they made coke taste more like pepsi. But due to the public outcry, the company reverted back to the orginal forumla, hence you buy "classic coke" now.

It seems that the reason for this is that when you have an entire bottle of something, people's perferences change. While pepsi was orginally perfered due to its sweetness, it gets cloying after a bottle.

Cliff notes:
1) I like coke better
2) That study is flawed
william
I just made a poll. So now you can vote and we can compare!

First: I can easily tell the difference between Coke and Pepsi. As everyone has stated, Pepsi is sweeter and too sweet for my taste (I love Coke). I think the reason why most people prefer Coke is because it quenches your thirst, sweet carbinated drinks do not.

Second: I only got through the first page of replies before started to post this one, so I appologise if someone already noted this. I am surprised that there are a lot of opinions for and against Coke or Pepsi and people stating thier preference, but yet only 4 people voted (all Coke lovers).

Well, I dont really drink soda that much so it wouldnt be fair for me to decide. But my friend is here and he says Co-Co-Cola (haha).

Wow, this is amazing. Coke is winning in a landslide. I'd also like to know what age has to do with this. It seems younger people like Pepsi and older people like Coca-Cola. I may be wrong, but that's what it looks like when I asked some people a couple months ago.
OnlyOneLife
Coca Cola has this weird taste to it. It's like a sticky feeling in your mouth. I don't like that feeling too much.
Richard92
in france we prefer Coca but for me Pepsi is better
aerialdreams
I really don't like either one... SPRITE is way better! No caffine! but if I have to choose, it'd be coke! Razz

It seems like that if we go by the drink, Coca-Cola wins. But, if we go by the company, Pepsi wins. (Probably because of Mountain Dew.)
TurkishGamer
How about Cola Turka?
Rolling Eyes

I would say I like Coke the best. No difference in taste but I think Coke is better advertised.

Cola Turka is just a product made by a turkish company and which is out in only Turkey and maybe in Germany (I think). It has the same taste of Coke but with a little less acidity in it.

Do you think gender matters. To me, it seems age matters but I think gender may matter.

I prefer Pepsi also. Although both Coke and Pepsi taste almost the same, Pepsi has something more than Coke but I don't know how to say what is the extra thing.

Probably sugar.

I like both.
But I love coke.

Has anyone ever tried mixing Coke and Pepsi togethor?
It's actually better than both coke and pepsi.
Becuase it doesn't taste flat like pepsi.
And it's not too sweet either.
It's really a unique flavor. You should try it sometime. Epecially at the fountains at gas stations.

BTW, Jones Soda ROCKS!!! Very Happy

I like both Coca-Cola and Pepsi, but if I had to make a choice it would be Pepsi. The diet versions are getting better all the time and I drink diet in preference to plain.

Diet is crap, tastes really bad, like water. No taste. But I shoudlnt be talking, I drink it too lol but yea its not a bad alternative to get away from the bad stuff
Insanity
Coca-cola I agree has its own sort of unique taste to all the other colas out there and it definately beats out Pepsi. But then again, I'm not that fond of soft drinks as I used to be, trying to cut low on them sugar water drinks nowadays.
sistahgeek
PEPSI! PEPSI! PEPSI! Laughing

I think my mom put Pepsi in my bottle when I was a baby. Anyhoo, my ENTIRE family on my mom's side are Pepsi drinkers. For plain cola I prefer Pepsi, but I will drink Coke with no hesitation. And, I prefer Cherry Coke to Wild Cherry Pepsi.

I'd probably be a LOT healthier if I quit drinking them both.
Berlo
Coca Cola is much better the Pepsi. Pespi has an odd taste.
CijaBabaBombuNosi
Coca-cola is the best drink but only where there is no Pepsi! Pepsi is the best!!!!!!!! I love it more than Coca-cola!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very Happy Laughing
The_Gamer294
whenever i drink coke i can feel the sugar on my teeth. its gross. therefore i drink pepsi. coke and pepsi are very different but diet coke is almost identical to pepsi
Traveller
Of course, there was always "Jolt" cola, whose slogan was "All the sugar, twice the caffeine"!

Stepping away from colas for a moment, something else I would highly recommend (if you can find it) is "Manhattan Special." It may sound weird: espresso soda, but it is absolutely delicious! "Jupiña" pineapple soda is also wonderful, and now that I'm in Honduras, I like the local brand, "Tropical" for their banana soda and, when I can find it, their passionfruit ("maracuyá" in Spanish) soda.

Coke fares better for me as well. It's not just coke and pepsi but Aquafina - the mineral water of Pepsi and Kinley - the mineral water from Coca-cola, they taste very differently. And Coke is always my choice.

Coca Cola, it got better taste than Pepsi, Pepsi is so plain, I don't know why, but it doesn't taste good to me. ...

Well, since was about 6, Coke has been my favorite soda, and probably still is. Recently I have started playing more sports and intermurals with friends so I've been trying to stay off the soda and focus more on water and milk!
Omega_Squid
Very Happy coke all the way! My uncle works as a corporate Manager of Coke's relations with wal-mart, McDonalds, etc. Its awesome becuase we get to try new coke products that haven't been distributed yet because they're just samples to see if you like them. About 2 months before C2 came out, i tryed it, i have recently had something called coca-cola blak......which is like a coke coffee, not too bad! I have also tried Sprite 2, and its similar to vault, except it has guanine in it so that you dont get as hyped up! Laughing

i want to say both of them are unhealthy but i can't leave from the coke..And i want to Pepsi...

I'm surprised that this is so lopsided towards Coke. I prefer Pepsi personally, but don't care which I get if I go out to eat. I like the sweeter taste of Pepsi and Diet Pepsi beats the @#$! out of Diet Coke any day.

Oh, and Pepsi's commercials are better.... Wink
william
Coca-Cola doesn't have as many commercials as Pepsi. Very Happy If they do, I haven't seen 'em. I've been to other coutries where they have a lot of Pepsi commercials, but everyone is drinking Coca-Cola. Very Happy
shravan
Cokes better. Hyas more fizz. Thats because they've borrowed thumbs-ups' formula. Pepsis, just too sweat, and for people who love sweetness in their cola1

Coca-Cola is better. Most of the fast-food restaurant provide cokes Wink
Master-
Coke here. Pepsi tastes like..... ye.. just bad.
sour_lemon_1k
neither.

they both suck.
copilot
I don't really like the flavor of either of them, but I would say that Coca-Cola tastes better than Pepsi. I drink both at my job because that is all my employer supplies, but I would much rather drink Coca-Cola 's new Vault or Sprite. Sprite is my favorite soda.
THELAW
as far as coke vs. pepsi themselfs i gotta say coke. although the other products pepsi makes are awesome (mountain dew) coke is better than pepsi itself. well in my opinion.
chargoyle
I actually am not too crazy about either of them...I'm not really a cola person. But If I HAD to chose, I would pick Pepsi because the makers of Dr. Pepper and Mountain Dew get my vote over the makers of, uh, Sprite.

I prefer Coca-Cola. Pepsi is too sugary and tastes vile out here because it comes from their filthy factories here in the UAE.

Another reason I prefer Coca-Cola over Pepsi is because I was admitted to hospital after I bought a can, tore off the ring pull, took a drink and got my tongue sliced open (only a little bit but enough to cause quite a bit of damage) when a mangled ringpull came out of the hole. Why was there a load of mangled ringpulls in my drink?!?!?!?!?!

Agree, Juice is better. But if I had to coose, then I'd choose Coke. ;)

As of last Christmas I stopped drinking pop altogether, but before then I drank quite a bit. I found Coca-cola to be a lot more carbonated than pepsi and that was really the only difference. I simply had no preference and just enjoyed both whenever I chose to. Why fight over which is better; it's just a brand.

I like COKE.

And , every other variant of the Coca-Cola Company but I don't like Pepsi, only Mountain Dew from the Pepsi side.

I've always been a coke drinker.

And While I dont consume nearly as much alcohol as I would like to, I drink plenty of Coke, And Vanilla Coke.

Not keen on the Lime crap though

I prefer to drink Coca Cola....
Pepsi is nice too, but is different in taste
I have to drink the light versions, and its easy to tell when coca cola is light or not, and I can't do that with Pepsi.

I'm not really a fan of either, but if I had to choose I would pick Coke. It just taste better in my oppinion.

I NEVER expected Coca-Cola to beat Pepsi like this. I actually expected Pepsi to win. Wonder why everyone I ask likes Pepsi better. Probably because of Mountain Dew.

I prefer to drink coke but not anymore now that they have been known to support assasinations of union leaders in Colombia and even helped cause a drought in some town in India that boosted their sales. You can learn more about it at http://www.killercoke.org

Also, I remember visiting the Philippines and seeing coke products and ads that littered even remote places. I have a couple pics of people with houses made out of coke signs. I say death to coke. I try not to drink pepsi as well because Britney Spears is white trash.

Im not always negative.

When I studied English at ESL School.
One of my research was a market share of cola.
Before that time, I thought Coca-cola was more popular than Pepsi in western country.
Because Coca-cola represented cola in my country.

Amagingly, the result of survery was that people like pepsi more than coca-cola.

I knew brand value of Coca-cola is very high. But real market was devided half and half by coca and pepsi.

I can only tolerate Diet Coke. Tolerate being the key word. Regular Coka tastes like metal to me, diet is okay, but I'm a Pepsi man. Doesn't help that my dad works for Pepsi Laughing
william
Metal? Never heard anyone say that. Oh, personally, I HATE diet soft drinks. No sugar. What's the point of drinking soda when there's no sugar? Though, I should also admit, if there was no regular soda, I'd drink diet.
fernando5k
jajajaa... I love Coca Cola, why? it's easy... First I buy it... then i put some ice cubes in any Glass.... Finaly put Coca Cola in the glass and i drink.

Coca Cola... only has a taste good when you drink it with a lot of ice cubes.

Cola Turka is also nice. It gives different pleasure.

I dont drink pepsi.

I've had Coke, Pepsi, and other sodas that tasted like metal, but only when it was from a can, and evidently was not as fresh as it could have been. For bottled or draught, I've never encountered the metallic taste.

One Pepsi that I had (I'm a Coke man, but am not completely averse to an occasional Pepsi, if necessary) tasted like tar, and my worst enounter was an Arizona Iced Tea that actually had some kind of tar-like substance in it and tasted horrible. I haven't even tried an Arizona Iced Tea since then. Even though I used to like it, I just haven't gotten over the look and taste of that sludge. Sad

About 2 months before C2 came out, i tryed it, i have recently had something called coca-cola blak......which is like a coke coffee, not too bad! I have also tried Sprite 2, and its similar to vault, except it has guanine in it so that you dont get as hyped up! Laughing

You should have a neither option for those of us who dont drink pop. It is terrible for your health and all that, but anyways the reason i posted my family seems to like pepsi better because they say that coke is too "harsh" which makes no sense to me, but whatever.

In spain we have carrefour cola, hacendado cola, supersol cola, el corte ingles cola, dia cola and more Very Happy
william
Well, as a company, I may have different opinions between the two.
benwhite
They're not toxic, they're corrosive. The phosphoric acid dissovles grease on an engine and your teeth, but neither sodas are toxic to your body in an appreciable way. Once in your stomach, the acid isn't really a big deal, since the HCl in there is stronger than the H3PO4 in coke or pepsi. So, bad for teeth, but not toxic. The sugar is also bad in large amounts...but hey, I drink diet. I can't drink the regular stuff anymore.

Pepsi does make Mt. Dew though, which is a fantastic beverage.
ChaosMike
I don't usually drink sodas anymore, but I must take Pepsi hands down. Coke , i think, has just too much sugar for me. I don't like too much sweet for some reason.
noliver
When I am in the USA I drink Pepsi because its not as sweet as Coke - but when I am in Europe/Africa I prefer Coke, because then its not as sweet as Pepsi - so I guess it depends on where in the world you are.

But then again, people's taste buds seem to differ because some will always find Coke to be sweeter than Pepsi. Smile

I like Pepsi better than Coke, but they're both good. And for some reason they both taste better out of a can than a bottle.

But my real favorite is RC Cola.
statusfashions
they both are harmful for health
they destroy the calcium present in the body.
its good if you drink once in a while but an addiction is a strict no from me.
Regarding taste I never liked the taste of pepsi. its too sweet.
I even dont prefer Coke.
There is a company THums Up ( now a part of coca cola ) in india.
i prefer drinking thumbs up...
its strong and solves the purpose of thirst and taste.
bye the way do youy know that the most lucrative business is of this company.. the amount of money spent by these two companies on advertisements when combined are more than the economy of several countries..
and the consumer has to pay price for this..
say if the actual manufacturing price of this drinks are 0.50 paise they charge you Rs 10 for that this is the maregin they charge for advertising.
though in india after the insecticide incedent these companiues are endrosing huge losses and their target .. the youth of India have strictly boycotted this drinks...
drink juice instead.

Just for the feel of it... the pure appeal of it...

And all that.

I prefer Diet Coke... specifically "with Lime".

I hate drinks with proper sugar in them for the following reasons:

- They rot your teeth.
- They attract wasps and all manner of nasty flying bugs.
- They're horrible and sticky when you spill them.
- They're fattening.
- They don't taste as nice to me.

I used to work in a fast food place. The drinks were 'mixed' on site and so for the fizzy drink dispenser there was a water pipleline, a soda line and syrup lines. Various coca cola drink syrups were connected to the various syrup lines and they would occasionally have to be replaced. The 'full sugar' syrup boxes were ridiculously heavy and the 'diet' drink boxes were about half the weight. You have no idea how much sugar is in those drinks.

I prefer neither of them !
I prefer no soda drinks !
Well, if I HAVE TO choose one, I'd go for Coca cola Laughing
Otherwise, I'd go for pure water Very Happy

Of course, there's always CALPIS, from Japan. It is an unusual (but actually pretty good) beverage made with powdered milk. Because of the milk and the Japanese penchant for strange, English-based names...well...I'll leave the rest up to you.

I don'tdont know really i like them both, but i used to prefer coke oPepsiPepsiols I'm sorry but i don't want to drink something that's that acidic.

Carbonated drinks increase your chances of getting certain types of throat cancers. I read it in a science magazine. Besides, Pepsi is too sweet and rots your teeth even more than Coke does. I hate them both:!:

I'll admit I'm biased on this one. I grew up in Atlanta, which is where Coca-Cola's main headquarters is based. I mean, we even have a Coca-Cola factory, which is a cool alternative to an Art Museum. It's basically a museum of soda. So cool! They have this one area where you can taste Coca-Cola from around the world and see how it compares from different countries. I liked most of them, but some of them tasted like carbonated water with high amouts of baking soda Confused . But anyway, I chose Coca-Cola, because to me Pespi is too sugary. My friend left her can sitting on the counter for about and hour or two an when we came back most of it had evaporated and all that was left was this weird sugary content. Nasty!

I have a hard time deciding what's better since they're both good in their own way. Coca-Cola has it's own flavor when Pepsi is sweeter. That's probably why it has more calories. Well, what do you think? What's better in taste?


Agreed,

Coke has a bit more non sweet taste, when you tase Pepsi it taste a bit sweeter and differnt. One has a plainish taste and the other does not.

That contest were they covered both cans and had people guss which one was pepis was a shame I think.

pepsi is okay cocacola out:)

I prefer Pepsi. I guess, it's because i'm more use to it. It just looks more appealing on a self to me. You can tell the difference in the taste between the two, as others have said. But some just say it's all in the head, like this article i cam across when i looking up on the subject

http://www.hnl.bcm.tmc.edu/cache/eurekalert.org.htm

There's many things just like that. All try and confuse you :/

I prefer Dr. Pepper to either one.

It seems that whenever coca-cola comes out with an addition to its flavor, Pepsi always counters with a copy. This is true for Coke with lemon and Coca-Cola Lime, although I'm sure theirs others. I haven't yet seen a Vanilla Pepsi (LOL).

i think cola is more sweet than pepsi...

After exactly 100 votes, Coca-Cola is winning in a landslide; 65 to 35. Once again, this is surprising to me.

i chose coca cola not just for the taste but for other products its bringing out

u have cherry coke which is gorgeous, then u have coke with lime which is even better and it goes on and on.

I only know the European versions of Coca-Cola and Pepsi.
Here, in Portugal, 1.5 litres of Pepsi costs €0.99 and 1 litre of Coca-Cola costs €1.06...
Their flavour is very similar, but I think Pepsi is softer than Coca-Cola. Anyway, the difference is so thin that I don’t bother so much about it.
I drink both, but when I have to choose I chose Pepsi.

Hello you all.... I'm quite surprised that this is such a big theme in the forum.

I like all kinds of Cola, but especially Coca Cola light, which is almost the same as diet coke.

But I think that Pepsi does the better job concerning the "with sugar" drink, as I like Pesi more that Coke. I don't like the feeling that Coke glues my teeth together. This is a feeling that I have less when drinking Pepsi and not at all with Cola Light.

But apart from the sugar and no sugar discussion I think that all kinds of Cola isn't very healthy. We should stick to water with our meals, as it is simply the best. That's what I learned during the last month in France. It can't be beat!

So long.. don't be thirsty.. Drink !! Smile

I like Coke better than pepsi, but Dr. Pepper (pepsi product??) is my favorite. Cokes version of Dr. Pepper isn't good (Mr. Pibb) but whatever company makes Dr. Pepper is my favorite. Smile

That's pretty much me. I would say they taste the some, but yet somehow Coke tastes better. That's probably because I haven't had Pepsi in the longest time.

I don't think the sodas with lime taste any different, and root beer rots your teeth the worst. And as for the fattening, I really only drink this Diet Rite stuff my mom buys at Kroger. It has a lot of good flavors plus no carbs, sugar, fat, calories, or sodium. Yay!

Coca Cola!
Pepsi is so sweet for me!

But its true coca cola is so dangerous for your teeth

I like Pepsi BECAUSE it's a bit sweeter. Coke is too harsh & sharp-tasting for me. Not to mention, Diet Pepsi (or Pepsi One) is a much better diet soda than Diet Coke. DC leaves a horrible aftertaste and tastes horribly fake to me.

Coke for me. Pepsi for some reason just gives me a bad after taste. Though after I haven't had it a while it's okay if it's just one... But for some reason after three within a week, I taste an after taste. /:3

I live in Atlanta so beside Pepsico companies I'm surrounded by coke. but ever before i lived here i preferred coke products to pepsi.

Then most likely you prefer Pepsi to Coca-Cola, because Dr. Pepper is a Pepsi product. Just like how Mr. Pibb is a Coke product. But I have to say in the case of those two Dr. Pepper is way better, hands down.

Big time Diet Coke fan here. But I think it's just what you get used to . I used to drink only regular coke, but while trying to loose weight, I forced myself to drink that disgusting Diet Coke....6 months later I couldn't stand the regular! Laughing
