Coke vs. Pepsi
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."Posted By: Alex | Date:

"According to the Independent, researchers have proven that the difference between Coke and Pepsi really is all in your head"
If you simply look at the nutrition facts on a Pepsi can and a Coke can you will CLEARLY see there are about 2-3 more grams of sugar in PEPSI!!! Coke is king, and I think you have been brainwashed! Stop being a dolt, and learn to research for yourself.

Coke is way better than Pepsi. Coke is sweet cola goodness with carbonation that lasts forever, while Pepsi is, well, ew... It goes flat before you can drink it all, it goes stale in a month of being stored unopened, unrefrigerated, has way too much sugar that doesn't even help with the flavor, and leaves a disgusting and revolting taste in your mouth, which screams for coca-cola or bust. Rc cola is okay, i like it better than Pepsi.
In general, Coca-Cola is win.

Damnit whoever says that pepsi is better than coke because it has way less sugar is a RETARD. coke has exactly 24g of sugar when pepsi has 23g. how the hell is that WAY less? it makes coke sweeter and more delicious, they both have acid and both are bad for you. soo all that matters is taste. and thats where coke wins.

I have always been a Coke person but that is probably because both of my parents can't stand Pepsi either... my dad said "Pepsi Sucks!" and my mom always said that Pepsi tastes like floor cleaner...
Once when I was a kid I had a fad for Pepsi for a few weeks, but that passed. I never used to care... now if I go to a restaurant and they say "is pepsi ok?" I say no and have to pick a sierra mist or mountain dew, or just water to piss them off.
To me, pepsi used to taste good when they had it in the white/blue/red can... now the all blue can turns me off... I just wouldn't want to drink something that's blue!! coke's can has always been red and it keeps making me want to drink it... and canned sodas are better than bottled or fountain... fountain sodas always just taste like pee now or something...
on another note I HATE dr. pepper almost as much as pepsi, but I love root beer! it's all a matter of personal taste I guess. I want to do a blind test to see if I can tell the difference.

i know for a fact that they both taste different.
personaly i think pepsi is slightly better but i also enjoy coke for a change.
also coke is easyer to get sick of i drank daily i find. and yes i enjoy it more out of a bottle than a can for some reason it tastes different.
but its the same shit realy both are good.

Pepsi is way better than coke. FIRST OF ALL cOKE IS BADD FOR YOUR SKIN, TEETH, EYES, AND WEIGHT. I would rather drink pepsi than coke.

I think it depends on the timing. When you first take both from the fridge and open them immediatly, the difference will be small.(Though i find coke has a slightly better taste.) Then, after a while, when they start loosing their fiz, you can tell pepsi is sweeter and real men, like Chuck Norris would prefer coke.

i tink PEPSI is way better..to me i think coke kinda tastes flat.but i have relized most of the old folks like coke. thats why PEPSI is the taste of the new generation.
AND THERE IS TOTALLY A DIFFERENCE!!!

Hi.
I am have to do a Persuasive Speech for School, and I was thinking about doing it on "Coke vs. Pepsi". Or "Why Coke is better than Pepsi" or vice-versa. Does anyone know of any good website for quotes and information, and 5 different reasons why this is.
Thanks (:

I have tried this test before. Blindly drinking 20 different glasses (10 coke, 10 pepsi), I got ALL of them right. Seriously, there is a huge difference between the two. People that can't taste the difference are people that don't drink enough coke or that just have a bad taste sense.

Coca cola beats Pepsi by far. First of all, Coca cola was invented slightly earlier than Pepsi, costing 5 cents in one small liqour store with only 9 sales a day. It is more original, has made the most changes in quality and glass bottle designs and has the unique museum in Las Vegas and a factory in Atalnta!
