How about water? It won't give you diabetes or decayed teeth.
Seriously, the last time I drank Coca Cola was back in November when I went for a week to Orlando. While at Disney and Universal parks I got thirsty and needed sugar to give me energy to keep going in the week-long insane daily marathon of parks-until-they-closed extravaganza.
The last time I drank Pepsi was that same week too on the day I went to Tampa's Busch Gardens park. They had Pepsi so I drank that.
But seriously. Drink water, guys.

I like Coke over Pepsi but Wild Cherry Pepsi is delicious and definitely better than Cherry Coke.

Pepsi Max is really popular here in Scandinavia, and I believe large parts of Europe. Especially as of late. But Coke is of course superior. And here we don't have nasty sugar-alternatives either.
RC used to be a thing, and it was pretty good from what I remembered. But it's not available here anymore.
Dr Pepper is for the clinically insane.

Pepsi Max is infinitely superior to any zero-calorie soda Coca-Cola has. it actually tastes like a proper cola, while Zero is just watered down Coca-Cola with added metalic aftertaste. It's like Pepsi just concentrated on making something tasty, while Coca Cola foolishly tried to copy the taste of sugar-version.

Taco Bell has Pepsi? I thought all they carried was Baja Blast...
Oh wait, that's just all I get soda wise when I go there.
Coke will always be King.

Pepsi Max is the best. Especially when high or hungover.
agreed
Where do you live, that your Coca Cola and Pepsi taste the same?

Pepsi Max to the fullest. If I buy sugary drink it's Coca-Cola. For me it's 95% diet, 5% sugar.
Is it true that Coke and/or Pepsi use corn suryp as sugar replacement in the U.S.? I saw OP mentioning "real sugar Pepsi" is sugar in Pepsi a new thing?

How is Coke sweetened by corn syrup a beverage that exists?
Every time I go to the US, I'm surprised by how bad it tastes.

It's the high-fructose corn syrup that will kill you, and both have it. Unless you buy the Mexican Coke at Costco, then you're good because those use cane sugar.
Actually prefer Pepsi when I eat fastfood stuff. Only when eating fastfood stuff to be precise. It's a bit sweeter than Coke and less carbonated (Germany),which makes it easier to gulp down.
In the rare cases that I drink Cola purely for the taste Coca-Cola is miles ahead imo. Also for mixing Cuba Libre, Captain Cola or Jacky Cola.

Pepsi Max is the best diet soda.
I dunno why, but they really taste practically the same for me. I'll probably distinguish it better when both are fizzled out to determine the sweetness and the like but when both are freshly-opened and ice cold, I really can't tell the difference (or I just didn't care much to be bothered by the taste lol).
I can distinguish the sugar-free versions better though. Pepsi Max tastes much better than Coke Zero by a mile, that's for sure.
On another note, Pepsi Blue, if some of you are aware of its existence, tastes much better than both the regular Pepsi or Coke. Too bad it's some limited edition thing.

HFCS is used normally in the US due to lower cost. Though, using cane sugar leads people to falsely believe that it is healthier than HFCS, which it is not.

I just wonder why people drink cola in the first place. Let alone argue over what cola is best.

i do not need to comment on this......next time be careful with how you word .............jus sayn
Anything that's bad for your body tends to be the things the human body and taste buds can't resist, like cigarettes, alcohol, fatty foods, junk foods, sweets and soft drinks.

In the US, many soft drinks (well many food items in general) use high fructose corn syrup over normal sugar due to the lower cost. It's actually in lots and lots of products you wouldn't think would use it. I never really minded though so I'm not really sure where I stand on the "HFCS is bad! Real sugar is good!" debate. Kinda just don't care.
Why do people eat fast food? Why doesn't everyone just cook their meals? Why does anyone do anything?

Please keep in mind that Coke and Pepsi can taste different in different countries.
For example, Finnish Pepsi Max is more carbonated and has a different (better) sweetener taste than the one available in Ireland & UK.

I like Pepsi, nice alternate to Coke. Still trying to figure out how Barqs exist. That one tastes bad.
Every now and then I think console wars are some special things, only relegated to the realm of gaming fanboys.
Then I come across a coke vs pepsi thread, where apparently, I drink the Devil's Semen if I touch a pepsi bottle. Okay guys, I get it. You WUW Coca Cola. Good for you. I drink both.

I'll agree that Pepsi Max is the best no-sugar cola, but normal Coke is best. I really dislike Coke Zero, tastes like stevia.

Drinking Finnish-made Pepsi Max as we speak.
Yes, I've heard about "HFCS" and it is used every where. But it isn't used in sodas here. That's why I'm interested if there's a taste difference. Usually imported sodas come here from the UK. And I believe they use sugar down there.
Also I've heard the water affects the taste.

What the fuck is going on here. Pepsi tastes way better than coke. Coke is for grandmas who have pocket full of werthers. Whatever tho, I prefer blood orange sanpellegrino anyway.

Pepsi Max > All other colas.
Pepsi Max Cherry > Pepsi Max
(UK flavours at least, might be different around the world. Turkish Fanta is bright neon orange and tastes way nicer than ours)

Cane sugar has some significantly lower chance of causing diabetes in heavy drinkers of soda.
You probably shouldn't be a heavy drinker of soda either way.
It's amusing that it's difficult for some people to grasp that not everybody likes the same thing you like and vice versa.
For me, I drink both and am happy that I'm given different options *shrug*
