Ot: Pepsi or Coke

I just watched a documentary about the over 100 year history war between Pepsi and Coke. It brought back a few memories like the New Coke bad idea. Now they are both fighting the healthier drink craze.


Which do vote for Pepsi or Coke?

    Coke. It's a scientific fact that Pepsi was created for women, because Coke was too strong for them!

    Coke, unless its Crystal Pepsi, then it's a different story.

    Coca-cola. I have been addicted to it for years.

    In my younger years I was an outside salesman for office supplies. I inherited an account, from a guy who retired, which was a big company called IFF (International Flavors and Fragrances) in NJ. I was selling them pens and paper clips, but I had to go through something like a CIA security clearance just to set foot on the property.

    The president of my company had to be with me on my first couple visits. After I got to know the (low level) management players at this company, they showed me "the vault." (Locked up, not the inside of the vault.) It looked like a Federal Reserve bank.

    That's where they kept 1/8th of the formula for Coca-Cola. If their information ever became compromised it wouldn't be a big deal, because they didn't even know what they were making or how it fit into the main formula for Coke. They just followed a formula and provided product. For all they knew, it might have been a fake substance that was a decoy for the real Coke formula, but they got paid a shit-ton of money for it. Anyway, they treated it like they were holding the nuclear football.

    I'm one of the few that like them both. One of my friends is a die-hard Pepsi addict. He starts off every morning with a cigarette and a Pepsi. My other friend and his brother are Coke-heads and even went through a Cherry Coke phase. We were in a bar once and a waiter set down a pitcher of brown carbonated liquid. My friend's brother called the waiter over and reminded him he ordered Coke, not Pepsi. The Waiter apologized and switched out the pitcher. I was amazed that this guy could tell just from seeing it from a distance in a pitcher. He assured me the distinction was that pronounced and couldn't understand why I couldn't see the difference. Yes, the taste different but do they really look that different? Guess so.

    Hate both, once you give up soda you just can’t drink it anymore. Too damn sugary.

    I live in Atlanta and grew up on Coke. When I started drinking my coffee black in college, Coke began to taste too sweet. I switched to Tab, then Diet Coke and have been a loyal Diet Coke customer. I currently drink about 5 a day which my doctor says is too many. I am addicted and probably will not change. I don’t smoke and rarely consume alcohol, so Diet Coke is my drug of choice.

    Coke is too sweet. Pepsi tastes even sweeter. Diet Coke or Zero are occasionally acceptable. I like them as mixers for whiskey or rum sometimes. Otherwise I just say no.
    My carbonation of choice is La Croix or Bubly.

    Definitely Coca Cola. Pepsi is too sweet. Too bad they don't put cocaine in Coke any more.

    I prefer Diet Pepsi, probably drink three a week at most.

    Definitely Coke. The availability of Coke v Pepsi seems to be a regional thing. Coke is more prevalent in the South, but up North Pepsi often has a lock on the airport concessions. If all they have is Pepsi, I'll just get a bottle of water, which is better anyway.

    I sometimes have a Diet Coke regular coke and Pepsi is just way too sweet
    If y’all want to try a really good soda Doctor Browns Diet Black Cherry is great

    i prefer diet coke over coke over diet pepsi over pepsi. i've tried almost all the variants and i don't really like any of them.

    Coke's the winner by far and is also my choice between the two.

    But, I try to stay away from soft drinks/soda pop, at most I might have a couple a month. Sometimes I go several months without drinking one.

    We went skin diving in 1972 off Key West in 6-8 foot seas. Only time in my life that I was seasick and so was my brother. Met the Vice President of Coke; he gave us Pepsi and said "I'm on vacation". Never forgot that.

    Haven't had either in decades.
    Stuff is not good for you. (I do/have done a number of things not necessarily good for me, but not this one).

    Neither. I stopped drinking soda over three years ago. It’s been good to be free from that stuff. It’s very easy to develop a soda habit.

    Born and raised in the Atlanta area so Coke between those two, but I agree with nicespice I'd rather have Dr Pepper. I'll also throw in that the Mexican glass bottle Coke taste better than American to me.

    I am sadly addicted to Diet Coke. Also love flavored Coke Zeros too, ever have Vanilla Coke Zero? or Cherry Vanilla Coke Zero?

    Growing up in the Mid Atlantic region I saw Coke and Pepsi kinda even for the most part, then I moved to the Mid-West as a teenager. I was into my new school and there's only Pepsi vending machines. I was like "wtf" and everyone explained to me nobody drinks Coke. Yuck.

    I can drink Diet Pepsi but much prefer Diet Coke.

    Ever go to a restaurant that served both Pepsi and Coke?

    On a hot summer day there's nothing better than a Coke Slurpee from 7-11.
