I demand a recount! There was hanging chad! Schwarzenegger for president of Pepsi! Feh. A hollow victory at best. ---

Gotta put my vote in for Coke. Pepsi is under-carbonated, has no bite, and is way too sweet. It is a wimpy wanna-be coke. Those who think otherwise are in denial. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/yet-another-soda-thread-or-pepsi-vs-coke/205212.md?page=3)
