Coke or Pepsi?

General
22

I’m not the biggest fan of cola drinks in general. Sometimes ice cold coke tastes amazing, but it definitely has to be cold.

Pepsi Twist (Pepsi with lemon taste) used to be a favorite for me though when I was a kid, sadly they don’t sell that here anymore. In general I’m more likely to go for lemonades with fruity taste or with an energy drink than cola drinks :blush:

Oh and there is something that I have to drink daily: Coffee!

Not just any Sprite though. The best Sprite is the Latin/South American version made with real sugar, out of a bottle.

I only drink dark sodas. I love Dr. Pepper the most. I think I like coke more than Pepsi, but I’m happy to drink either. I also prefer cherry coke/pepsi to plain.

The real question what do you call these drinks?

Fountain drinks?
Pop?
Soda?
Coke?

I’m from the midwest and the majority here call it pop a few call it soda. When I was in Florida I ordered a coke and the lady asked me what kind of coke I want, I was like uhh not diet. If you want an actual coke you need to say coca cola otherwise they think you are just talking about pop in general.

Midwest guy myself and I call them pop. If they come out of a spout tho (like a convenient store refill machine) I call them fountain drinks/pop.

I can taste it, there are a lot of us who can and dislike it, we even have 3 natural springs in one of our estates and I still dislike it, lol.

Healthy as a bull actually! :grin: My kidneys are perfectly fine thankfully, I mean in the end it’s just 98% water and then colors and non-harmful chemicals added for taste, plus I’m well hydrated most of the time.

I’ll eulogize your teeth, and insides.

I do not drink cola much, but I prefer Coca-Cola. I visit KFC more often than I buy Coca-Cola, so I drink more Pepsi.

Also, Egyptian Coca-Cola is sweeter than Russian. I have no idea why.

Such a serious topic.

UPD:
Fanta and Mirinda are both better than Coca-Cola. Pulpy (orange juice with orange bits in it, no gas) is the best.

I don’t drink soda too much anymore these days, but Coca-Cola >>> Pepsi, Mellow Yellow >>> Mountain Dew, Sprite >>> Sierra Mist. KO beats PEP almost every day in almost every way.

I should be the number 1 expert in this field of etiquette.

My body, is maybe completely fucked, and screwed because of cocacola Amatil and PepsiCo.

But I feel fine…

I am 28, and have been drinking coke / Pepsi every day of my life; breakfast lunch dinner; since I was about 7-9 years old. So about 20 years.

I can go into some of the health changes I’ve picked up, not sure if it’s 100% affiliated with coke though.

-I have heavy saliva production
-my teeth are a little thin, but the dentist says they are great always.
-increased endorphins per normal people, hence why friends say I am the most relaxed human being they have ever met

  • bad sleep apnoea, I can’t really sleep ever. Takes me hours sometimes to fall asleep.
  • I have bad sinuses, I lost most of my sense of smell at 26, only sometimes get pockets of smell coming back. This may not be an affiliation of coke. But I’ve been told it’s just pollups build-up per my doctors, supposed to do a sinus op, but I feel fantastic, and am happy.
  • Lost my tonsils
  • May have stomach ulsers, (I don’t know)

But besides all that… I feel fantastic, so happy and healthy. I’m not overweight. I’m 180cm and 81kg

Any true addict will tell you:

  • Pepsi/ coca cola taste different depending on the country you are in
  • Fresh Pepsi cola etc is the best thing ever. We hate it when it loses its caffeine or gas. And has no bubbles.
  • I personally don’t like the last 10% of a drink as it is just flat and backwash, and sediment etc.

My rankings… Have changed over the years.

Diet Pepsi was the best in the early 90s, this was when Pepsi was par and par with coca cola on popularity.

Then they changed the taste, 2000s
I stuck with Pepsi light and diet coke until 2012 ish. When I moved to Hong Kong. Pepsi was shit. So I switched to full strength regular coke.

Now coca cola is My number 1 in most countries. Pepsi strong here in Japan is good also.

  1. Normal coca cola
  2. Pepsi strong
  3. Pepsi max
  4. Diet coke (had a phase for a few years of it, not so into it now)

Anyways. High five to any other soft drink/ cola addicts.

Fun fact… The late Carrie Fischer was a coca cola addict also, she died at 60 ish. Maybe coca cola played a part.
