Smile Why does Coca-Cola Taste Better Than Pepsi ?

Hi fellas!

I know men love their beer but I am doing some research and I need a male point of view on this matter. So I hope you can help point me in the right direction. Gals, I need your opinions as well. Any information I can get will really help me out a LOT.

Thanks a bunch!

Coke is too sweet and the level of carbonation seems higher.

When I started drinking diet colas, I preferred Diet Pepsi with lime over any other because I only liked Classic Coke. Diet Coke is vile.

Its not so much that Coke tastes better than Pepsi as much as it is that Pepsi tastes worse than Coke.

Coke is too thick tasting, doesn't quench thirst. Pepsi is too sweet. Diet coke's taste won't go away. Diet Pepsi's not much better but I need the caffeine and hate coffee/tea.

Hi Luisa, miss you.

btw, Coke used to be good in the 6.5 oz glass bottles, but cans and plastic bottles won't take the pressure.

Pepsi tastes better than Coke. It has a slight spiciness to it. But I've pretty much stopped drinking both. That stuff is no good for you.

That was back when it still had cocaine in it.

Diet Pepsi is the best in the bunch. Mostly, I drink Waist Watchers diet rootbeer - it's sweetened with Splenda!

Marketing or, better, "because you think it does".

Setup a double blind test with Coke, Pepsi, and a third cola like RC. Not only will you not be able to tell which one is Coke, but you'll most likely select the non-Coke/non-Pepsi drink as your favorite.

I am partial to Pepsi myself but I have been told that most guys prefer Coke because it tastes better with most food groups. How true is that?

I took the Pepsi Challenge at a state fair when I was a kid - I chose pepsi. I think they watered the coke down.
I drink soda maybe once or twice a year... I don't get the fascination.

Diet Pepsi is passable. Diet coke isn't. My favorite: peach Fresca.
