Coke or Pepsi? - page 1 -

• Coke or Pepsi? by schro on 24 Aug, 2010 10:05
• Easy question....
  
  I've had Diet Pepsi and it taste like a chemistry lab experiment gone bad. 
  Regular Pepsi is too sweet.
  The rest of the Pepsi family is (in the House of Schro) not allowed.
  
  Yesterday I had a regular Coke for the first time in years.....
  
  I'm a big time Coke Zero guy.
  
  What say you?

• It's funny, I actually think the opposite!  Diet coke is too bitter and burns my nostrils when I drink it.  I prefer the sweeter taste of Diet Pepsi.  Though, I've actually started buying Diet RC at Wal-mart for half the price of the other two and I think it tastes great.

• For various reasons I had to adjust and learn to drink Diet Coke when I drink soft drinks several years ago.  I've gotten used to it.  I tried Pepsi, just too sweet, and if the old gray cells tell me true, the disaster of New Coke was driven by a perception that the public wanted the sweeter flavor of Pepsi--hence Classic Coke that corrected that disaster in marketing. My wife does most of the buying for the house, and she's stuck on either diet or regular Coke.  I've had a couple of Zero's and it's not bad.  Just can't get the wife to change.  
  But I know that soft drinks taken as a whole aren't the healthy choice, but I'll have one diet coke or so a week tops.  But my guilty obsession is regular Coke during Passover, they make a Kosher for Passover bottle--it has a yellow cap and is sold with the other Kosher for Passover foods.  It's made w/ cane sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup that is the usual non-diet sweetener, and I swear you can tell the difference--spicier, richer flavor.

• Coke Classic hands down! I usally only drink one or two soft drinks a week so I skip the diet stuff and stick with the hard stuff. I associate those diet drinks with drinking lite beer. That ain't gonna happen!
  As for Pepsi...If I go to a place and order a Coke and they tell me all they have is Pepsi I tell them to bring me a water instead.

• Prefer Diet Coke, however I can drink any soft drink as long as its diet.
  
  If I drink regular I get a bitch of a headache

  To the best of my knowledge (UK guys correct me if I am wrong), you cant buy Diet Dr Pepper in UK, however ASDA's Dr Thunder which is sugar free is yummy. My kids cant tell the difference.

• My mom drinks alot of Diet Coke. I don't drink alot of pop, unless I go to a restraunt in that case I'll order Root Beer. If I'm just at a gas station I'll get Vitamin Water or Gatorade.

• Mountain Dew, Cherry Coke, or Orange Crush, they are a three way tie of my favorite sodas!

• Hardly ever drink soda, never diet hate the taste. Prefere ice tea,beer,wine,juice,and sometimes H2O.

• Used to drink gallons of diet Pepsi.  Now, thanfully I have replaced that with gallons of good old H2O.

• My preferred beverage is black tea.
  Occasionally Coke Zero or some German brands of cola, diet or regular.
  Or tap water.
