Coke or Pepsi?

I will drink both, but I prefer Coke. I don’t know why, really. Just like the taste a little better.

Ans Sunbear, I just heard on MSNBC that a can of Pepsi actually has 10 teaspoons of sugar.

Coke, but of course. I mean, they used to put cocaine in it…and it says right on the can “Original Formula”. Makes ya think now doesn’t it…?

IBC Root Beer. Pepsi would be second choice, though.

Coke. Coke is god. I am a Cokeite, a Cokatian, Cokish.

Pepsi is the devil, the anti-Coke. Pepsi is evil, and so are the people who drink it.

There are others like me, some of them are not nearly as Cokettish as I. Some of them are more liberal Cokeites. They like the cherry Coke, the vanilla Coke. They are slightly misguided, but I must admit that I was once like them. I was saved at age 18. Occasionally, I still find myself faltering, asking for a splash of vanilla, or a squirt of grenadine, but I always find my way back.

There are others, not quite as menacing or destructive as the Pepsists, but there are others. The Dews, for example. They say they have no affiliations with the Pepsists, but everyone knows that Dudaism is directly descendant of Pepsism. Pepsist, Dewish… it’s all the same.

Coke is the one true Pop. I will not be swayed.


Veni, Vidi, Visa … I came, I saw, I bought.

Gotta go with all the Coke-ites on this one. But my second favorite is Diet Caffeine Free Dr. Pepper. Kind of opposite ends of the spectrum, but they both taste great. Also, I would die of dehydration before I would drink Diet Coke. Blah.

Gr8Kat…Jones’ Soda makes an awesome Vanilla Cola


Unforgiven

You know I’ve seen that there is such a thing as Caf. free Diet Dr. Pepper (it says so on the coupons that come with the 12 packs) but I have yet to see it anywhere around here. I’ve got to stop drinking soda around mid-afternoon so that I can sleep at night, the caf. free stuff would come in handy for evenings.

This question is trivial … it has to be Pepsi. :slight_smile:


It’s bernard, just under new management

There’s a cola for every purpose. Generally, raised in the South, I like RC. Coke goes great with rum and is my second choice if I can’t score on RC. Pepsi is at its best with a good, homemade cheeseburger.

If a gun was at my head I’d have to go with Coke. In a bottle not can.

But if I truly had my druthers, I’d go with Tahitian Treat. A fruit punch-flavored soda bottled by Canada Dry. It goes well with an authentic Pat’s Philadelphia Cheesesteak and a pack of Tastykake butterscotch crimpets for dessert. Num-nums!

I’m a Coke man myself. Or Fresca.

Coke, please.

Burn, if you like Fresca, you’ll love Squirt. That’s my all-time favorite, although it tastes funky when it gets lukewarm. Citra, I have found, is an acceptable substitute. Fresca is a Squirt wannabe.

Vernor’s Ginger Ale. Yumm! Detroit River water in a can with fuzz to boot!

oooo Vernor’s yum yum yummy!

I’ll have to try squirt

Coke. More specifically, Diet Coke.

I believe that the small pocket of Moxie drinkers still extant is to be found in downeast Maine. The town of Damariscotta considers itself the epicenter of the Moxie lifestyle. Shops there sell Moxie paraphrenalia…mugs, glasses, etc., bearing the logo.

Vernor’s is GREAT stuff! I’m not much of a soda drinker, but I always try to schlep back a case at least whenever I visit the midwest. It’s great with a couple of scoops of vanilla ice cream in it…a confection usually called a “Boston Cooler,” but in this variation probably better call it a Detroit Cooler.


Uke

anyone ever had Cheerwine? i believe it is only available in North Carolina. last time our family went there we brought back a couple cases of it. it’s yummmmmmmmmy scrum-diddly-umptious stuff.

I know why this wasn’t posted in Great Debates - there is no debate. Coke is it, period, end of story. Of course, I was born and raised in Atlanta, but that has nothing to do with it. Coke is my main vice. I have one ever present (can or bottle, no ice to dilute the flavor). When the caffiene began to affect my heart rate I switched to caffeine free. Then I decided that I was drinking too much sugar. Now I’m relegated to the caffeine free diet version. Carbonated air, basically. But it’s still Coke.

The only person on here that has probobly seen this soda is Funeefarmer, the Dr. Pepper addict.
Up here in upstate NY we have a drink called “Polar Dry Orange” soda, and also “Adirondack Citrus Frost”. Both are awesome sodas, and with a shot of vodka? Mmmmmmm
On the Coke/Pepsi issue, I am a die hard Diet Coke fan, and my husband is horribly addicted to regular Coke. (in a can only).

I have always been able to tell the difference between the two,even when I was little.I prefer Pepsi.Its less sharp.Although I LOVED coca-cola syrup,something my mom gave me once when I was sick.I don’t know what it was supposed to do,but it tasted great!(I threw up a few minutes after she gave it to me! :frowning:

Diet Mountain Dew, in prodigious quantities.

Also, the occasional Ale 81.
