According to the
Independent, researchers have proven that
the difference between Coke and Pepsi really is all in your head. Apparently the popularity of Coke's brand image causes people to think Coca-Cola itself tastes better, even though it really doesn't taste very different from Pepsi. As the article says:
"When asked to taste blind, they showed no preference. However, when the participants were shown company logos before they drank, the Coke label, the more famous of the two, had a dramatic impact: three-quarters of the tasters declared they preferred Coke." I've long suspected this. Personally I can't taste any difference between Coke and Pepsi, but I have a friend who swears passionately that there's a huge difference. Now I can show him this research to prove that he's simply been brainwashed by advertising. Oh, and the Pepsi Taste Test also turns out to be nothing but hot air:
"The findings suggest there is no scientific basis for claims made during the Pepsi ad campaign in which testers purportedly chose Pepsi over Coke when they were not told what they were drinking."

They are a terrible , greedy company to work for as well. What kind of fuktard company does not pay its salesmen commision? Where is the incentive to sell or grow? Cuts driver bulk stops to bayroutes to cut paying driver commision. No wander they can try and boast profits..they treat their people like shit. Pepsi pays all the benefits and then some, awesome company to work for and remains top paid in it's job type over 10 years in a row. Believe me Pepsi people in the economy to boot are doing well and selling more.
Plain fact is Mt. Dew alone is the number ONE selling single 20oz. PERIOD!
Look at cokes lineup...Gold Peak? WTF is that? Peace tea?? LOL that will make it. Tumme-yummie? really? Vault? LOL another failed attempt..and rumor has it they have something called a Mr. Pibb...never seen it. they have to buy into a company to get something decent like Vitamin water. powerade??? Gatorade shits all over that dollar store brand sugar water. So when you go to a gas station and wonder why coke has such a cheap price on these ..take a minute and think about why they are so cheap! Oh yeah how about Caribou coffee LMAO!! Head up against Pepsi and Starbucks. Dasani sales sucked so bad they had to buy Evian water for distribution, while pepsi's aquafina holds it's water sales WAY over their's. To end this whole thing I will sum it up Very simply and you tards whom try to argue this ..well don't waste your time. You all ahave heard of WalMart right? VERY popular place for the vast majority of the U.S to shop (I'm told) lol. They carry what sales by sheer volume number so next time you are in their drink aisle take a look at who owns the drink space...nuff said .
(. i have noticed pepsi tastes the same in all forms but coke taste different in all forms i.e packaging and from fountains weird?)

That's exactly right.
Coke tastes way better than pepsi from the Tap (imo), although when canned or bottled, I honestly think Pepsi tastes better from the can than coke, maybe even bottled. Bottled coke goes flat extremely fast, pepsi seems to last a little longer. Although better canned (pepsi), McDonalds has some of the best coke from the Tap, as does white castle, I would always choose that over pepsi.
I've tasted Coke and Pepsi.. Their Both Delicious!!!
But They are even more Delicious If You Mixed them Together!!! Trust me its Better..
Just Call it PepCa-Cola See... Its Better if their combine its much more tastier and more yummy...
I like Pepsi Max over Coke zero,
however for the original ones, I like Coca Cola over pepsi.
And truthfully, I don't think either of them is 'disgusting' like some people put it when they're trying to sabotage the brand they're not loyal to.
Anyway, thanx for the info.
P.S. Coke kicks Pepsi's ASS!!!
LOVE COKE Mmmmmmmmmmmmm
Pepsi has a better taste and logo, no joke
Pepsi is sweeter, and Coke is very, very much hated
Pepsi tastes a lot smoother and Coke is way too carbonated
Pepsi
Both really stinks !!
I personally like Coke, but that just me.
they are both good, but mug rootbeer is the best, and bad company 2 rules, and c4 is better ! ect, random things.
I come from a "Pepsi family", but I never liked it. My family tells stories about trying to give me Pepsi when I was a toddler, and now I refused to swallow it-- I just spit it out every time.
This is probably because I don't like sugar, I never really have. Sweet stuff makes me gag. Coke is bubbly and has a good bite to it-- I love the feeling of opening an East Coast bottled Coke and taking that first sip where it's "hard" and cold and the bubbles fizz up my nose. It's a sensation drink. Pepsi tastes much like slimy candy goo to me, and I have only drank a Pepsi ONCE, out of desperation at a vacation house (the pipes weren't working, so no water, and there was only Pepsi in the fridge). And quite honestly, it was God awful. I went out and bought 2 dozen cokes the next day.
I'm a die hard coke lover though, a FANATIC. My room is decked out with anything and everything with the coke logo on it. I'm clearing off a wall so I can paint their logo. I love coke.
I gag at Pepsi. My friend, a Pepsi drinker (who had no taste preference, she liked Pepsi because James Dean advertised for them back in the 50s), made me do a taste test. She poured regular, east cost coke from a 2liter into a glass, and into another glass put that filth she calls Pepsi (also from a 2liter).
Unfortunately, I sipped the Pepsi first, and immediately spit it back into the glass. She was astonished. "You LOOKED!" she demanded.
Months later, I was at her house, and asked for a Coke. She returned with what looked like my request, but the second it touched me tongue, I was like..."This is a Pepsi". She was seriously shocked.
I can tell the difference between coke from the east or west coke, kosher coke, lime coke, diet coke, coke zero, cherry coke, vanilla coke, south/central american coke, fountain coke, coke from a 2l, small bottle, can, or glass bottle.
Pepsi all tastes the same to me (with the exception of their flavors)
Pepsi? Hep-C. Coke all the way.
I was just drinking a pepsi and after about 2 hours it tasted gross and when i leave a coke out that long it still tastes good.
Now with Pepsi it is sweet, less fizzy and acidic, goes flatter slightly faster, and has a stronger flavor, so it's more of a drink to go with Pizza or a sandwich
