Pepsi or Coke?

No he is really particular, it is just that the flavour of Pepsi Raw is something he particularly likes.

Bonnie - posted on 11/15/2010

I don't know of anyone who will drink any type of soda that is handed to them, so I think that would be interesting if he is.

Jennifer - posted on 11/15/2010

Lol is he mad?!? Or is he one of those people who will drink anything?

Toni - posted on 11/15/2010

Yep and they kept giving us cases of it as samples for us bleugh, it made my BIL happy though because he likes it, so he got loads of cases of pop :-)

Jennifer - posted on 11/15/2010

Eurgh I tried that and it's disgusting, as is Red Bull Cola!!! I love the sweets but you expect the synthetic flavour, with the drink you don't.

Toni - posted on 11/15/2010

I tell you what is an interesting but odd flavour Pepsi Raw it is Cola made using natural flavours, and it tastes like fizzy cola bottle sweets, I hate it, which is odd because I love the sweets :-)

Jennifer - posted on 11/15/2010

Lol it is isn't it!!! I have phases of liking both then deciding they're both boring and keep thinking what are they actually supposed to taste like lol!~?!?

I disagree Jennifer to me Coke is definately sweeter in taste than Pepsi, I can taste the syrup in Coke whereas I can't in Pepsi. It's funny how different people perceive taste so differently...

Jennifer - posted on 11/14/2010

Lol it cracks me up that what we call Walkers Crisps here has the name Lays in other countries =] I dunno why but it's funny that they couldn't keep the same name everywhere. Here in the UK Pepsi is sweeter than Coke.

I prefer coke, Pepsi leaves this weird film in my mouth :P

Bonnie - posted on 11/14/2010

Jane, I am the same way in that I can drink both Coke and Pepsi. I don't hate Coke, I just prefer Pepsi. I can taste the difference; Coke is way sweeter to me.

Jane - posted on 11/14/2010

Coke for me. I haven't read the thread yet but there a many people I know (my husband for one) that say they can't taste the difference but I totally can. I'll drink Pepsi if that's all that's offered...it's not like it's totally yucky or anything but I prefer Coke over any other cola.

Bonnie - posted on 11/13/2010

I am having a Dr. Pepper right now! :D

Jenn - posted on 11/13/2010

Other products that are the "same" taste different in different countries. For example Lay's salt & vinegar chips in Canada can knock your nostrils out, but in the States they're very mild and to me should be called "Salt & Salt".

I was thinking "nectar of the Gods" about Diet Coke Kate!!!!!

*pops a Dr. Pepper* Yep. Nectar of the gods.

Diet Coke please!!! Regular coke and pepsi are disgusting to me...pepsi is worse though...I don't even like diet pepsi...but I do love diet Dr. Pepper!

Whelp, there is a real taste difference between the taste of sugar and high fructose corn syrup. Despite what the corn refiners commercials say.

Bonnie - posted on 11/13/2010

I'm surprised to read that Pepsi and Coke are made differently and taste differently around the world. I don't see why that would be...Coke is Coke and Pepsi is Pepsi.

Rebecca - posted on 11/13/2010

I'd like to think it was a sassy reply on a debate forum. I surprised you thought it was argumentative in tone. I just pretty certain of what I said.

Yeah, I actually do think there might be some Coke or Pepsi product internationally which might be still made just with sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. Don't know for sure but they do mess with the formula in different countries.

Rebecca, I wasn't arguing with you. Easy tiger. I was simply stating my opinion.

Toni - posted on 11/13/2010

I agree, Coke and Pepsi taste different in different countries, they have different ingredients (i.e. the sugar is different because it is grown in different parts of the world). If my memory serves me right Pepsi is sweeter in the States than it is in the UK.

Rebecca - posted on 11/13/2010

No, Coke, Pepsi taste different because they are made differently. Same with Canadian beer sold in the US, Molson in particular. I know you live in Canada and drank it in the states....but I'm going to choose to listen to my vast amount of friends who have gone back and forth, lived in different countries and attested to the same. I will also rely on my own well travelled palate than a visit to Nevada once.

Toni - posted on 11/13/2010

Kate, Coca Cola Enterprises has the rights to manufacture and distribute Dr P in the UK, it falls into their portfolio of drinks, as does Schweppes, Fanta and Sprite. Although you are right they do not own it.

Jennifer, Britvic Soft Drinks (BSD) have the right to distribute and manufacture Pepsi drinks as well as 7UP amongst many other soft drinks. Pepsico IS a separate company to BSD but BSD distributes Pepsi in the UK. I KNOW this because I worked for them for more than 3 years.

Ok rant over, sorry guys I think it's a mix of my hormones and being on bed rest I am BORED!

Bonnie- yes, 3 days.... it's so wierd

Chatty - posted on 11/13/2010

Coke is Coke - it's all gross! I live in Canada and it tastes the same to me as it did when I was visiting my SIL in Nevada.

Rebecca - posted on 11/12/2010

I haven't had pop in 10 years but..

In the states, Pepsi is the way to go.

However, if you ever visit Canada or move there like I did, you'll probably like Coke better up here. It taste completely different when you cross the border.

I'm also gonna point out that it tastes different in the the UK too. So you guys who are arguing how much better Pepsi or Coke taste in these different countries are arguing about several different tasting colas with the same name plastered on the can.

I don't drink regular coke or pepsi, has to be diet, regular is just wayyy too sugary to me. Doesn't matter the brand but I do seem to buy coke more often just b/c my husband is a coke drinker and i just buy a case when i buy a case for him (although my case lasts for like 2 weeks where as his is gone in 2 hours :S Gross...)

Jennifer - posted on 11/12/2010

Ah right =] so it's used under licence by coca cola in the UK - just looke don the actual Dr Pepper website and they also made 7up, whereas here in the UK that's used under license by Pespsi...sooo confusing!

Kate CP - posted on 11/12/2010

Krista: Yes, I think you're right. Cadbury-Schwepps.

Krista - posted on 11/12/2010

I'm actually reading that Cadbury owns Dr. Pepper....

Kate CP - posted on 11/12/2010

No, Dr. Pepper is occasionally distributed by Coca-Cola or Pepsi but it IS its own company and is not owned by a separate company.

Jennifer - posted on 11/12/2010

Lol here in the UK they changed the taste of cherry coke a couple of years ago and now it tastes more like cherry...dunno how else to explain it lol =]

Who knows Anika this shop often sells stuff wayyy out of date haha !

Bonnie - posted on 11/12/2010

Jennifer, as I mentioned in one of my previous posts, I love Dr. Pepper, but don't like cherry coke. Tastes like cough syrup and soil to me. I know, strange!

Jennifer - posted on 11/12/2010

Lols I'm only saying lol =] I love Dr Pepper, tastes like cherry coke! I do hate root bear though...I had it when we went on holiday to Florida and it is truly rank!

Anika - posted on 11/12/2010

I don't care if it's a coke product, Dr Pepper tastes like arse. I'm just saying.....

Bonnie - posted on 11/12/2010

This shows that Dr. Pepper is a coca cola product lol =]

Krista - posted on 11/12/2010

Hmm... the two Krista's are opposite on this subject.

Krista - posted on 11/12/2010

Regular pepsi, but diet coke.

Jennifer - posted on 11/12/2010

Ehhh....Dr. Pepper is made by Coca Cola here in the UK =]

I like both equally lol!

Dr. Pepper came out for a while in Aus, I hated it but my husband is still like .. "I loved it,.. I wonder what happened to it"

Anika - posted on 11/12/2010

Dr Pepper is gross IMO. I don't think it sells well here in New Zealand. It reminds me of toothpaste. Gross toothpaste.

Kayle - posted on 11/12/2010

I am a Dr.Pepper person too. But if I had to choose I'd choose coke. Only because my grandma use to make us chocolate cokes. It may sound gross but try it. Just take a coke and mix it with chololate syrup.

But something that is gross is my aunt used to mix pepsi and milk eww...

Chatty - posted on 11/12/2010

Pepsi - Coke tastes disgusting!

That being said, I don't drink pop anymore.

Hannah - posted on 11/12/2010

Diet Pepsi is always my first choice.... I like the taste of it better... However hubby prefers Coke....so we have that in our house more than Pepsi :( And I do love Dr.Pepper :)
