Jesus! This Pepsi tastes like crap, and my mom just bought it today. Don’t get me wrong, Pepsi makes other good sodas, like Mountain Dew, but the cola bites it big time. Tastes flat, but it’s still carbonated. I’ll stick to my Coke. Anyone else? ---

Add me to the “rather go naked than drink Pepsi” list. There’s just something not quite right about it - Coke tastes like unbridled joy … Pepsi is what evil must taste like. ---

I’m a Diet Pepsi drinker. I will drink Diet Coke, but only if it’s the only thing around. I’ll also drink Diet Cherry Coke and Diet root beer. (Notice the “diet” above.) Robin ---

Hmmm, I’ve taken “the Pepsi challenge” four times…and picked Coke every time. I felt like such a social reject! Upon entering an establishment that serves Pepsi products, well, let’s just say “Thank god for iced tea!” And, here I thought it was just me 😛 By the way…if you want to make a Pepsi slightly more palatable, or more “Coke-like” add a splash of Sprite(or Slice, whatever the Pepsi version is) and a squeeze of lime if it’s available. Not quite the same but much better than Pepsi…YUCK ---

Passover will be April 7-8 this year. Find a kosher food store and get some _Made with real sugar_ Coca-cola. ---

Pepsi is sooooo much better than Coke, both the taste and the fact that it doesn’t leave a horrible aftertaste and film on one’s teeth. Oh, and Coke in Canada uses real sugar all year round from what I’ve heard. ---

My name is Daniel, and I have a Pepsi problem. I have a 2 can a day habit. I love that stuff, dude. It’s hella addictive. I think it contains the same addictive chemical as certain fast food items (IE Arby’s curly fries, and if you’ve seen So I Married An Ax Murderer, Kentucky Fried Chicken). I got hooked on it when I started eating Taco Bell, and I’m the one who got Broken Doll hooked on it. I feel like a crack dealer. ---

Sorry, I can’t stand Coke. Pepsi is it, diet or regular. Although Pepsi One sucks. ---

Pepsi. Coke tastes like carbonated maple syrup. ---

Pepsi tastes like carbonated aluminum-shavings beverage. I cannot understand how a human being with properly functioning taste buds can enjoy that swill. I actively avoid certain restaurants just because they serve Pepsi, unless I’m in the mood for lemonade (and in my experience, restaurants with Pepsi either don’t have lemonade or it tastes like it was made with lemon-scented dishwasher detergent. That’s because any restaurant that would serve Pepsi is obviously managed by communists and child molesters, so of coure they’ll screw up the lemonade.) If I’m in an unfamiliar restaurant and order Coke and it’s a Pepsi joint, the waitress invariably asks “is Pepsi okay?” to which most people say sure; I always look her right in the eye and say “No” and order something else. The ONLY cola drink worth consuming is Coke. Pepsi sucks. ---
