Pepsi just tastes so much better.

Sides... Coke has bastardized their drink so many times I shun them for their sins against beverage kind.

Yes, because I found Pepsi Samba and Pepsi Blue to be the ultimate taste sensations. They are totally not money-whoring bastardizations.

Coke. And growing up, I was on the Pepsi side.

Coke.

I cant stand when companies bash their competition's products to promote their own, even when they are truly better. I guess it's an underdog thing.

Also pepsi advertises way too much, which annoys me. I rarely see any coke ads at all.

I feel like it would be hard to say who advertises more, since there are so many different mediums and outlets(?). But I recently read on the Marketing Doctor blog that Pepsi is advertising its new Tava drink exclusively on the web (although I haven't seen any ads yet): http://blog.marketingdoctor.tv/2008/03/20/tantillos-branding-bite-pepsi-goes-online-exclusively.aspx

Born and raised on Coca-cola.It just has so much more...body (I guess is the word) than Pepsi.

Coke is what i always buy but given the option of supermarket cola and pepsi i would buy pepsi.

Coca Cola; I like a drink that you can really feel rotting your teeth...

I hate to rain on everyone's parade in here, but there is no difference. I'm not saying this based on personal experience (I always thought I could taste the difference) but we can't. I saw a BBC documentary about this in which scientists performed a double-blind study, and also read an article in the Independent (UK broadsheet), detailing a similar experiment, with the same results. The difference is purely psychological, a result of what we expect to taste.

For me it's Irn Bru anyway.

Coke tasted better, but all soda except ginger ale makes me feel sick so I dont drink much of either
