I remember hearing some story about how some dude claimed he found a mouse in his can of Pepsi and when Pepsi got wind of it they sued for defamation. The guy said he threw it away so he didn't have proof but apparently Pepsi had already researched the claim and said it was impossible to get a mouse from a can of Pepsi because the time it took from canning to when it was available for purchase was long enough to completely dissolve a mouse, bones and all, from the acids found in the drink.

Diet Pepsi with cheap wine is better than Coke with cheap wine, and that's really the only thing that matters because any soda on its own is gross.

i think I read some paper that indicated there is no taste difference between pepsi and coke, and it's just all altered perceptions due to marketing that makes people taste a difference and prefer one over the other

but they're like nearly chemically identical

You read GBS too much I think.

Coke is obviously better because it tastes better with booze. RC cola is the real winner though.

You have been brainwashed by communists so thoroughly that you think that you are self-aware and capitalism is preying on everyone else's subconscious emotions to sell things that are similar but ultimately not the same. good job.

Pepsi is too sweet. I think people just like the sugar/sweetness and confuse that for taste. It's the reason Pepsi wins the taste tests, it's because the subjects are given small mouthfulls to drink, and when drinking that little the sweetness means people choose Pepsi.

Pepsi tastes like sugar water. Whereas coke is a proper drink.

i want you to be joking but just in case you're not, different brands of colas all have different tastes. Some are similar-ish but if it's marketed as something else it's because it is fuckin' something else. Pepsi has a distinctly different flavor than coca cola. It goes 'flat' at a different rate. Fanta tastes completely unlike sunkist, and in turn sunkist tastes nothing like orange crush, despite all being orange flavored soda.

The only soda thing I don't understand is 7up/sprite because that poo poo is absolutely the same to me, except 7up can feel more watered down at times.

try trusting the people who actually drink soda sometimes and enjoy it to know what they're talking about man.
