Poll: Epic Poll of Epic Proportions: Coke vs. Pepsi

[werepossum]

Coke. Pepsi is wayyyy too sweet for me. Coke is also more bubbly. hehe


^_^

Agree completely. Coke rules, Pepsi is like flat, too-sweet Coke. And Pepsi hardly even touches rust. Never trust a cola that won't digest a hunk of meat on its own.

Pepsi is too dull and sweet for my liking.

Coke is sharper and just better than Pepsi.

I'm not a connoisseur when it comes to food, far from it I'd say, so I can't really explain it any better.

Coke. If a restaurant has Pepsi I promptly order water. Of course this is meaningless if said establishment has a liquor license. New Castle I said.

 

[Iggy Rufflebar]

Personally I prefer Pepsi but I'll drink Coke also, usually because it's the only thing available where i live, whatever happened to Pepsi anyway?

 

[Geoffrey42]

Dr Pepper > Coke's lack of an equivilant

You mean Mr. PiBB? Or, as it prefers to be called now, Pibb Xtra...

Dr. Pepper still wins, but there is a competitor (at least in the States and the Mariana Islands).

 

[UncleAsriel]

I agree with general consensus on the mixing of Pepsi and Coke:We don't know what would happen. Maybe the universe would end- and it would be awesome!



I prefer iced tea or fruit juice (nestea/fruitopia if I go corporate). So I guess I'm Coke's little pawn then.

 

[Melty Blood]

I drink 'em both, but I like coke better. Except warm. If I have to drink warm soda, I always pick pepsi.

I'm the opposite. I drink coke warm and pepsi cold.

 

[jim_doki]

i like pepsi max. I like my drinks freezing and i dont know why but pepsi tastes better at lower temperatures.

 

[dekkarax]

that's why i reuse my plastic water bottle and fill it with tap water, cause not only is tap water safer for you to drink (it's gov regulated, bottled water isn't) and has also been treated properly to remove the crap in it

I dunno, the UK government once planned to put fluride in tap water (to improve peoples teeth), however, the didn't realise it was poisonous

Common misconception. Fluorine is poisonous, fluoride isn't. Well, that's what my chemistry textbook says.

 

[wilsonscrazybed]

Pepsi just doesn't make my teeth hurt as much.

 

[propertyofcobra]

Coke. Coke, coke, coke. Infinitely coke. I'll drink Pepsi if there's no coke, but coke wins out over pepsi 100 times out of 10. That's right, each time they are compared, coke wins ten times.

 

[tthor]

coke...pepsi...coke...pepsi... which one WHICH 1! >_<

 

[Sylocat]

Am I the only one that can't taste a difference?

No you are not.

 

[werepossum]

Didn't say Aquafina was better than tap water (though it is where I live), but you are by far better off drinking from the toilet than a bottle of Dasani.

I'm confused, isn't Dasani just the purified and filtered water for Coke without the carbonation, sugar, and artificial flavor and color?

Re: tap water versus bottle water, Lucy Ann Goldberg told a funny story about an expensive restaurant in NYC where she and some friends would meet for lunch a couple times a month. They all bought expensive bottled water (Swedish I think), $16 the bottle. The water was always delivered opened, with the cap beside the bottle. She once asked the waiter if he would bring the bottle unopened, as she preferred to open it herself. The waiter (their regular waiter) got a funny look and told her that wasn't possible. When she asked why on Earth that would be impossible, he took her through the kitchen to the back of the restaurant. There in the ally the dishwashing staff were washing these fancy glass bottles, filling them with New York City water straight from the tap, and selling it for $16 a bottle. Since they had no way to re-install the crimped-on bottle caps, they simply served the water with the cap next to it, as if it had just been opened. And people specifically asked for the fancy bottled water because it was so much better than any other bottled water.

If I remember this correctly, floride is a class of flourine compound, not a specific substance. (Literally an ionic form of flourine, but being a halogen it's highly reactive so it's never actually floride, but a floride compound. Think clorides or bromides. Halogens are also used in lights.) And some florides can be very deadly. But I think the compounds they add to municipal water are probably milder than the clorine added. I *think* it is absorbed by and strengthens enamel rather than killing or inhibiting bacteria. But I may be remembering that wrong.

 

[Pseudonym2]

Coke and I think Pepsi as well are known for their support of dictatorships occasionally resorting to outright murder in order to maintain them.

Bottled water, especially bottled water that isn't just tap water, is extremely bad for the environment.


Needless to say, I don't drink either.
