Pepsi or Coke

Cooleosis · Jan 02, 2009 1:08 AM

It depends, I only drink cherry Coke but only diet Pepsi. If I had to pick a normal flavor, Pepsi.

K...according to Wikipedia, Coca-Cola only creates the fructose concentrate, in which the syrup is sold to bottlers around the world. It's up to the bottlers to mix the concentrate with water, artificial sweeteners, and more sugar.

So while Coca-Cola doesn't change its formula in producing the syrup, the bottlers who create the final product ultimately DO affect the taste of the drink, depending on the syrup-water ratio.

I prefer orange juice!

But if I really had to choose, I'd say Pepsi.

You are correct that the syrup is sold around the world. That's the point that I was trying to prove. They syrup is sold to the international bottlers who then in turn decide just how to sell it how they see fit. That's what I meant by saying that it is all distributed the same until it reaches its destination with all of these foriegn markets. So very good points Bmah.

RedDragonX · Jan 02, 2009 10:22 PM

Well they certainly don't send it out as just pure CO2 lol....not unless you like extremely explosive drinks.

John Man 1234 · Jan 03, 2009 12:00 AM

Coco Cola for sure had it alot more. And so on.

Spyro Master · Jan 03, 2009 10:59 AM

RedDragonX · Jan 04, 2009 12:23 AM

I tried one of our Classics with double syrup in it lol....it feels like a thick and very sour ooze crawling down your throat. Needless to say I wont be drinking it again big_smile

Winged Beast · Jan 04, 2009 4:38 PM

Spyro Master · Jan 05, 2009 9:38 AM

lol no-one seems to like pepsi looks like coke wins!!

bananababy · Jan 05, 2009 9:05 PM

I like Pepsi..
Coke tastes nasty-ish to me...Mehh..

Lancer232 · Jan 05, 2009 9:26 PM

My taste in the two is very...uh, variable. I prefer Soda Fountain Coke over a canned Pepsi (soda machines at a McDonalds, etc), other way around for soda fountain Pepsi. Now in terms of canned, Pepsi.

StratosP · Jan 06, 2009 9:57 AM

Coke for sure! It has the taste..that "better" taste, it's really hard to explain. But Coke Zero sucks...I like pure, original COKE! w00t!

RedDragonX · Jan 08, 2009 12:15 AM

Well Coca-Cola Zero has become one of our most loved products. Many people enjoy it for the no sugar status...or zero calorie approach. It was our largest launch in 22 years...and it is directed towards young adult males...but the taste is vastly different from Classic yes...less sweetened sugar causes that.

Spyro_Loves_Me · Jan 08, 2009 6:23 AM

Coca Cola for sure. But there are a couple Pepsi products I like, but Coke wins my vote.
Actually, I think I would even put Dr. Pepper ahead of Pepsi.

Even though it has no sugar, it has other chemicals to replcace it.

Spyro Master · Jan 08, 2009 4:31 PM

meh either way its still a good drink especially if u mix it wiv lemonade smile

RedDragonX · Jan 08, 2009 11:14 PM

In reference to Spyro_Loves_Me: Well in that case you can double the Coke vote because Dr. Pepper is sold through our company lol..at least in this region of the United States it is...I'm not sure about other places...but here it is under our contract to sell it.

StratosP: Coca-Cola Zero is the direct sugar free variation to Coca-Cola Classic. It is different as you said in certain areas of the world then it is in the United States...it all depends on how the distributers wish to sell the product...but Australia for example does not use as much ingrediants as they do in the states...they use less...and that is their own choice...but that is most likely the taste difference that you sense...Zoro is not for everyone just as Classic makes people feel queesy.

Even I can't drink Classic sometimes and have to downgrade to Zero...but since I like both it doesn't really matter lol...

Coke. Pepsi tastes too watery... too much carbonation. tongue
