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."

I've seen several clinical studies done and participated in two of them. These are done with 1 ounce small cups of Pepsi and Coke, six of each, for a total of 12 samples. Between each sample a small cracker is eaten to clear the palate. In every study, fewer than 6% of people were able to figure out which drink was which.
The one I remember most clearly was one I actually got tested in myself, in which only 2 people out of 47 were able to pick out which drink was which. In fact, one of the two missed one. No one else was even close. In ever other instance, the 45 people tested missed 4 or more guesses as to which product they were drinking at the time.
This was a blind test, in which the small cups were labeled only with numbers corresponding to what was in the cup, the numbers and types of course kept out of view.
Also, Pepsi does NOT have more sugar, Coke has some 10 to 12 percent more sugar/syrup than Pepsi does.
Get educated about a product before you go posting.
so burn.
::::::: TRY THIS EXPERIMENT::::::::::
I Always Always get a metallic, stale, too sweet, syrupy taste. I prefer PEPSI, IF I HAD TO CHOOSE , Because I do not drink soda very often. But I did just do the PEPSI VS. COKE challange, by lableing the bottom of two identicle cups and then pouring one of each then switching them around.******* PEPSI WINS.******* I did this 5 times, only once did I choose coke. Do It YourSELF!!!!! If your of age, try the same with MILLER LITE VS. BUD LIGHT- Bud light IS STALE AND HAS TWICE THE AMOUNT OF CARBS>>>>>> MILLER LITE ACTUALLY HAS FLAVOR TO IT AND HAS HALF THE CARBS> DID THIS 5 TIMES TOO AND MILLER WON EVERYTIME!!!!!!!
Thankyou

Drink diet coke...so much better!
And it's true, Dr Pepper did come out the year before Coca-Cola. 😉

* Wow, look at yourselves...... From what I can see a lot of the Coke drinkers seem quite rude and obnoxious.... IT IS ALL ABOUT PREFERENCE. WHAT TASTES GOOD TO ME, MAY NOT TO YOU, GET OVER IT! BUT PORTRAYING THAT ONE IS BETTER THAN ANOTHER IS RIDICULOUS!! And neither company copied eachother either, there are HUNDREDS/THOUSANDS of different kinds/brands of EVERYTHING, GROW UP!!!
Coke All the Way!! Coke rocks! :exclaim: 😜 pepsi makes me feel :sick: disgusting
I would buy coke even if it cost 5 dollars for a 2-liter bottle
PEPSI Cola has 0.4% more sugar and is less carbonated.
This is not a matter of opinion this is fact.
Untill the next time...
GO TO HELL!
for those about to drink coke we salute you! coke kicks pepsi ass bigtime.
Pepsi is more popular than Coke in Pakistan an Quebec Canada. Coke dominates all other soft drinks in every other country. and obviously since those dummy scientists(which prolly is the real hoax) dont know the recipe as coke is the most famous trade secret reicpe in the world

Pepsie sucks and they just copy every thing coke dose !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We did the chi-square test to see relevance between survey questions and brand preferance, and found that taste had nothing to do with people's decisions; the only correlation out of our 10 question survey was what people were brought up drinking.
