Coke vs. Pepsi

[Claquesous]

We had a little discussion about this yesterday. I figured I'd add a little poll on the forum.

Respond assuming you are drinking without a meal.

First I must say that I really don't drink all that much soda, but I must say that I feel I have a much more refined palate that most when it comes to sodas/pops/cokes/soda-pops.

In general, I prefer the sweetness of Pepsi over the higher carbonation levels of Coke. However, I find that Coke goes much better with Pizza and other foods with a large tomato base. Pepsi is sublime with hamburgers and chicken. Some foods are about equally good with both.

In recent years, both companies have been releasing a variety of variants on their mainstays. I will say that Pepsi Vanilla is massively superior over Vanialla Coke, but Coke with Lime trumps out Pepsi's offering.

Regularly I would never drink Diet sodas saying, "Why drink sugar water without the sugar, if I can just drink water?" However, I recently tried Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper on a whim and found it intriguing. If the makers of Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper are reading this, I would like to urge them to come out with a non-diet version.

Please share your thoughts because I truly believe that soda/pop/coke/soda-pop drinking habits are a microcosm of American culture and therefore life in general.

The point you seem to be missing is, as Berke Breathed pointed out, that they both taste like malted battery acid

Rootbeer and occasional Mountain Dew is all the pop I drink. I also like water. Then again, who the fuck does'nt
