Everyone already knew Barack was a coke head.

Some people drink Pepsi, some people drink Coke. The wacky NPR guy says democracy's a joke.

Commies drink Coke.

So of course Obama's team prefers it over all-American; Red, White, and Blue Pepsi

HA! I bet they're wishing they wouldn't have put all that money into the Hope billboards now.

My man.

I just picked up that "sugar" coke form Mexico (bought at CostCo) and I don't think I can tell the difference.

However, I also cannot tell the difference between caffeine free drinks and the caffeinated brethren.

Coke instead of Pepsi. Reds instead of menthols. What kind of stereotype is he, anyway? ;-)

That's funny. I could tell the American from the Mexican soda right away. Plus, having the American soda taste ingrained, I really couldn't make an honest decision about which I would prefer if I'd never had either one.

All sensible people prefer Coke. I'm a Diet Coke fanatic myself. If a restaurant only serves Pepsi products I'll have iced tea instead. Yeah, I'm a badass.

Coke Zero FTW.

I, too, prefer Coke over Pepsi because Coke isn't as sweet, and because drinking it is slightly painful in a very pleasant way.

No Pepsi, Coke.

No Pepsi.. Coke. No chip...fries. No cheesebourger...pancakes.

I guess this disproves the whole secret Muslim thing since Coke is for Jews and Pepsi is for Arabs. Maybe Barack is a secret Jew.

Coke over Pepsi? I've never heard of these beers.

I thought he would drink grape soda. Or orange drink.

How many people actually prefer Pepsi over Coke? A few people, I'm sure, but I wonder what the actual proportion is. It may just be because I live in the south, but for almost everybody I know, Pepsi is like RC Cola... it's what you drink if it's the only thing available, but it's not what you buy in the store.

My mom does. And I still turned out a Coke fan.

When I'm president, the white house fridge will be full of this:

Apparently, in blind taste tests, people overwhelmingly prefer Pepsi.

Well, Pepsi does donate and support Hunter education and wildlife conservation. Coke, as far as my google searches have turned up, does not share this stance.

Given that, I pretty much just drink Pepsi.

Anyway, Diet Dr Pepper is superior to both.

Apparently, in blind taste tests, people overwhelmingly prefer Pepsi.

In his book, Blink, author Malcolm Gladwell ascribes the success of Pepsi over Coca-Cola in these tests to being a result of the nature of "sip tests", which would fail to account for the cloying effect of excessive sweetness and glutamate and the complementary but counter-intuitive long-term preference for an item that would consistently lose in a blind sip-test comparison.

So, according to the critics, if Pepsi had given 8 ounce drinks and had samplers drink the whole thing, then Pepsi might well have lost. It's higher sweetness wins in sip tests but probably would fail in 8 ounce tests.

Coke to make drinks with, although Pepsi is better if alcohol is not involved.

James F. Campbell: Apparently, in blind taste tests, people overwhelmingly prefer Pepsi.

This is true, but that's also got Pepsi's marketing spin on it. As that article points out, it's speculated that while people may prefer Pepsi given a single sip, many of them lose their preference for it after multiple sips.

Is Coke making a grape flavor now?

/did not get that part in Harold and Kumar
//explained to me later

Of course they do, they have tastes in their junk sugar water. Pepsi is like drinking straight sugar syrup, coke is far more bearable.

Probably the most "complex" of flavors in big name soft drinks is Dr. Pepper. Too bad I hate Dr. Pepper.

Mexican coke is sometimes made with HFCS and sometimes with real cane sugar. There is a difference between the two, but it's not always obvious unless you have a completely clear palate (no other flavors interfering).

I've always wanted to get into the smaller, "indie" soda companies, but never lived anywhere big enough to have access to them.

Yeah, that seems to be the case. I dunno, I even prefer coke to pepsi in weird, one sip conditions. Some friends of mine claimed to have taken the "Pepsi Challenge" once and said that they fed them some weird stuff before or between drinking. I guess it could be like the pickles ginger with sushi, meant to clear your taste buds for the next item, but it seems like they could easily feed you something that would make coke taste like crap and pepsi taste good (In fact my friends claimed picked what they thought was coke, the less sweet of the two drinks, but were told they picked Pepsi).

Maybe I overestimate the effect of competing flavors. I am very sensitive to them. I can't drink any soda for hours after brushing my teeth due to the taste of tooth paste. I can't drink coke and eat sweet things, like fruit and chocolate.

Pepsi all the way. I can't stand Coke. Caffeine free diet Pepsi if I'm not in the mood for caffeine, Pepsi one for some caffeine, and Pepsi max if I want to be up all night.

Diet coke is just abysmal.

Coke Zero is awesome. Just came in here to say that.

Approves

Obviously this is the trick question and the true answer is

Dr.Pepper

Go All Natural



Its taste better then Coke or Pepsi, battery acid taste, and no HIgh Fructose corn syrup.

NikolaiFarkoff: Some people drink Pepsi, some people drink Coke. The wacky NPR guy says democracy's a joke.

Nice.

/Pepsi is too sweet. It's for kids.

I can honestly say I've never met anybody who prefers Pepsi. Forget about international sales - I've never even seen Pepsi overseas (except in the specialty/imported drink section). How are they still in business, let alone so big?

I prefer Pepsi/Diet Pepsi over Coke when it's cold. When it's room temp I prefer Diet Coke.

as every good sane and rational person should.

/coke shareholder.

saintstryfe: /coke shareholder.

I don't think the hordes of empty cans piled up in your garage make you a shareholder

Vanetia: Commies drink Coke.

Actually, yeah. The stuff's all over the place in China.

Blind taste test, feh. Any American adult knows damn well what both Pepsi and Coke taste like, and it's a pretty safe bet that you weren't going to be in one of their Pepsi Challenge commercials if you picked Coke.

Jeebus that pic is larger than I remembered. Sorry all.

Coke is better than pepsi. Pepsi is too sweet and does not have enough cola bite. I just discovered that The Fresh Market in the Tampa Bay area carries Mexican Coke (they didn't when I worked there in Highschool) and have been buying that for the past few weeks. They cost more than a beer but are totally worth it, and I have been drinking less soda but enjoying the ones I have much more. Jones cola from Wallyworld is a good substitute, but nothing compares to the real thing.

/RC aint half bad in a pinch either.

I voted for a good man then.

/Pepsi is terrible.

The HORROR...!

Neither, but I do drink more Pepsi than Coke products. Mountain Dew Livewire and Voltage, Manzanita Sol (Apple pop), Cranberry Sierra Mist, and so on.

Like Obama, Coke is the Real Thing.
