Coke or Pepsi?

I couldn't find a thread that asked whether members prefer Coca Cola or Pepsi better. I may just be aweful at searches, but this is always an intriguing argument around the house for me. This kind of goes along with the "Pop, soda, etc" thread. Which do you guys/gals prefer: Coke or Pepsi?

Anything that can eat through metal that still tastes great and mixes well with booze is awesome in my book. Definatly going with Coke.

In that sort of either/or situation, definitely Coke; it has much more bite. Pepsi is too sweet and has a vaguely soapy taste.

As I said in the other thread, I don't drink standard pops very often, but when I do it is either Coke or Canada Dry Ginger Ale.

I think Coke is rancid, however, I am a bit brainwashed as my father has worked for Pepsi almost as long as I've been alive. Drinking coke is like smoking a non filtered winston whereas pepsi is soothing like a tasty American spirit.

Coke, 10 times out of 10. I agree with DW- Pepsi is way too sweet.

Same here, I dislike them both equally. I think all American and European soft drinks taste like sickly sweet soap. The Asian ones are slightly better (at least the ones I have tried), they taste like sickly sweet flowers.

Which ones? I know of South Asian ones and Middle Eastern ones. I personally do not like RC Cola which was very popular in the South East Asian region.

Pakcola - is basically a pakistani verision of cream soda. Very popular and also green (thus my idea to call Abstint, cream soda )

They also contain caffeine, ten teaspoons of sugar per can, and lots of acid. On the positive side, at least they're not as bad as cigarettes, and there's no "secondhand Coke".

Coke is good... I'm not really in "I prefer coke over pepsi always" but I do drink coke often... and we buy it far more than pepsi.

I prefer, though, to have iced tea - yes, laugh CM - Guaranį or Sprite, if I can.

LOL! True but i was addicted to coke before. So they can be just as bad. Though trying to get a coke addict to stop can be very hazardous to your health.

LMAO!! So you are just a tea drinking wanker like me?

Oh this is true. Nobody takes my sweet cola away from me without limping away to get me a fresh bottle.

Do you brew your own with tea bags or use the instant stuff?
