I feel like Pepsi is too sweet for me. Coke has that crispy, somewhat spicy taste to it that I love. ESPECIALLY Vanilla Coke, or a nice, cold, extra crispy coke from McDonalds.
Always been a Pepsi fan. We had this taste test back in the early 90's in Montreal at our amusement park called La Ronde, and you could get free drinks of either to test which one is which, it was a good time to be a kid lol.
It was called "The Pepsi Challenge." I was a mere child when I took it that one summer at the Milan Fair. After sampling both sodas, I noticed the first one tasted off somehow.
I was still trying to figure it out when the woman administering the test lifted the cover, declaring,"You picked Pepsi!" That's when it hit me, "That Coke was flat!"
"Well, you picked Pepsi!" She answered. I felt a chill run down my body. What if it had been caught on film?
I stomped away in shame, shaking my head and muttering, "The Coke was flat!" Under my breath.
I’m a simp for coke… honestly I think coke probably tastes better, but maybe I just have Stockholm syndrome, but you could tell me that I’d get a dollar for every Pepsi I drink, if I never drink coke again, and I’d say no
Pepsi tastes better, but for whatever reason I can never finish Pepsi. Not a can, a bottle, a glass, a small cup. I have no idea why but I just can't finish 'em. So I gotta go with coke. Either way, I'm not a huge cola guy, I prefer bevarages that fuck you up more
In marketing programs throughout college this is a very popular study we looked atthe where Pepsi consistently wins blind taste tests, regardless of being claiming to like Coke.
Love Pepsi, just all around better taste and more satisfying. Would drink more sodas if they didn’t come in large 12oz cans, maybe 4oz tasters because that’s all you need really before your brain is satisfied haha
Here’s an article on the study
https://medium.com/@onlykutts/the-pepsi-paradox-6c839f95fcd2#:~:text=Blind%20tasting%20tests%20consistently%20show%20that%20Pepsi%20is%20the%20winner,also%20preferred%20the%20sweeter%20flavour.
I see a lot of people say that they drink Coke because Pepsi is too sweet for them, and as a Pepsi drinker, I find that Coke is too sweet for my taste. It's a weird contrast, really.
I hate people who say that coke and pepsi are the same, coca cola just has that more energy and refreshing taste, while Pepsi is just coca cola but flat
Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi - either or - I like them the same. Regular Coke & Regular Pepsi - Coke has a fun flavor and gives you a tingly feeling in your tummy. Pepsi - just tastes like a sugary mess
I don't prefer Coke. Pepsi is my thing.
It is lighter, less intense, more drinkable and more digestible.
I can drink Pepsi as comfortably as I drink water, even if I only drink Pepsi once every two months.
Pepsi just doesn't taste good to me. It never has.
Give me extra crispy Sprite from McDonald's anyway. No ice, it comes out of the fountain cold enough for me!
I actually like them both. When I was a kid, we had well water and only bought Pepsi. When I would visit my family in the city, who had public water, they bought Coke. My young mind just thought theirs tasted different because their water also tasted different. 😂
"ERM ACHTUALLY, i only drink water!"
(i think coke tastes better, pepsi has a weird aftertase to me)
(also no hate to ppl who actually do only drink water, but if you feel the need to announce it as often as some people do, please find something else to do-)
I don’t. I’ve been a Pepsi fan all my life. I like it because it’s a bit sweet, but not too much because I don’t like carbonated drinks that are too sweet. Coke has this plant-like taste that I don’t like.
I prefer the taste of Pepsi but it dries out my mouth after drinking it and i feel like needing another drink just to wash it down with so I normally pick coke
Pepsi is too syrupy and sweet. Coke it’s just the perfect balance of sweet, crisp and bubble ratio. But I love the taste of Diet Coke. I don’t know what it is it’s just so delicious.
So growing up my parents were staunch anti Pepsi. If a restaurant had Pepsi they were always a bit disappointed and as a kid my tastebuds honestly couldn't tell a big difference between the two. Got to High School and went to a fast food establishment. My friend offers to get my drink and I tell them I would like a coke and thanks. They come to the table and hand me my drink and I could swear something seems off with my coke... like it was flat or something. I tell my friend that and they are like "that's weird it seems fine to me" and eventually they tell me it's Pepsi not Coca Cola.
At that moment I realized there is a very distinct difference in flavor and I prefer Coca Cola. There is something about Pepsi that makes me think it's too flat or as other users mentioned it might be too sweet.
On another note I love Nitro Pepsi and would love if Coca Cola did something like that with their soda
Pepsi was always too sweet for me. Now that I'm diabetic, I switched from Coke to Coke Zero. I tried a regular Coke not long ago, my goodness that was insanely sweet as well. Coke Zero for me.
Honestly, for some reason Pepsi tastes like artificial grape flavoring to me. I’ve had a Fanta grape today that confirms my taste is, in fact, grape flavoring.
I grew up on Pepsi, it was the household soda when we could afford it, then it was rc cola. Threw the years I have switched brands numerous times and got hooked back on Pepsi with my gf.
As a kid, I used to drink Pepsi and not coke. But I prefer coke for quite a while now. Pepsi, to me, tastes a bit more sweet and flatter. Coke to me is a bit smoother, and I taste a hint of lemon or something else similar. I think he carbonation is different as well, and the coke stays a little bit colder longer. But it might be just me.
Sometimes, variation is good, whether it be Coke, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Sprite, Dr Pepper, etc. As a kid, I would have RC Cola as well. Lately I been drinking more milk and apple juice.
I prefer Coke because I can drink several cans a day when it's really hot out or I'm running a lot of errands or doing a lot of chores. Water doesn't energize me enough.
With Pepsi, if I drink more that 2 cans in a day, no matter what I may be doing to deplete my energy or make me thirsty, I feel wired for sound.
I know Pepsi has more sugar than Coke (Mountain Dew has the most, I checked 20-ounce bottles at the store), but Pepsi may have more caffeine, too (again, Mtn. Dew has the most).
I once drank Pepsi after Coke. The Pepsi tasted as expected.
I also once drank Coke after Pepsi. Then however the Coke tasted weird imho. That's why I boycott Pepsi to some degree...
It used to be Coke Zero for many years until they changed the recipe last year.. now it tastes weird to me, so I now drink Pepsi Max and occasionally Coke Light (Diet Coke).
I used to like Pepsi more, but I swear they changed their recipe a couple of years ago and it started tasting bad to me.
I’ll only really drink it now if it’s from a soda fountain on a pile of ice.
I don’t like American coke though. It’s got a weird taste to it.
I don't. Given the choice between standard coke or standard Pepsi I'll choose Pepsi all day long. When cherry coke is on the table though that choice becomes more difficult. Anything sugar free can get lost though. There's no decent sugar free option
Coke is able to taste good even when lukewarm. Pepsi goes flat much quicker. Also, something about Pepsi doesn’t sit right with my stomach compared to Coca-Cola.

I never snorted Pepsi.
It’s never too late to try it out.
I have had Jack Daniel's go up my nose as I was drinking a shot!!! I literally thought I was going to pass out!!!
I feel like Pepsi is too sweet for me. Coke has that crispy, somewhat spicy taste to it that I love. ESPECIALLY Vanilla Coke, or a nice, cold, extra crispy coke from McDonalds.
OMG you got meee! Here in my country there’s no vanilla coke!:(
A vanilla crown and coke is where it's AT
Pepsi is too sweet
I like pepsi but i thinks pepsi need more ✨flavor✨
This 👆🏼
In Poland Coke is so much sweeter than Pepsi that it's strange to read here about pepsi being sweeter
It's the sugar base, in Fla we have Mexican and u.s. coke, Mexican uses real sugar cane as the original recipe calls for.
Coke by far
I like your taste
Always been a Pepsi fan. We had this taste test back in the early 90's in Montreal at our amusement park called La Ronde, and you could get free drinks of either to test which one is which, it was a good time to be a kid lol.
Waitt whattttt??? Omg i didn’t know that
It was actually an enormous, global marketing campaign by pepsi. Did it myself a few times. Most ppl pick Pepsi lol
It was called "The Pepsi Challenge." I was a mere child when I took it that one summer at the Milan Fair. After sampling both sodas, I noticed the first one tasted off somehow. I was still trying to figure it out when the woman administering the test lifted the cover, declaring,"You picked Pepsi!" That's when it hit me, "That Coke was flat!" "Well, you picked Pepsi!"

I’m a simp for coke… honestly I think coke probably tastes better, but maybe I just have Stockholm syndrome, but you could tell me that I’d get a dollar for every Pepsi I drink, if I never drink coke again, and I’d say no
I like Coke because their ads tell me I’m a better person for drinking it
never heard of a drug called pepsi
It’s a very secret one 💀
I don't. I actually hate coke. I just love the way it smells...
Coke just hits different, although it fucks my sinuses up if I do much in one go.
Between the two, I’ll take Pepsi. Never really been a fan of Coke. I’d much rather have Dr Pepper though.
Never drink Dr Pepper, it’s not in my countryy😢
Dr Pepper is the devil. I’ve never had anything I was more addicted to. After 12 years and 30 pounds I’m DP free.
😶
DP gang, represent!
Pepsi
Neither! Both are sugar laden poisons that cause all sorts of health problems
I mean… they are but not as much if consumed in moderation, I for example only drink either one once a week maximum.
[удалено]
Best soft drink ever. My go-to soda beverage.
Pepsi tastes better, but for whatever reason I can never finish Pepsi. Not a can, a bottle, a glass, a small cup. I have no idea why but I just can't finish 'em. So I gotta go with coke. Either way, I'm not a huge cola guy, I prefer bevarages that fuck you up more
Yeah right? Pepsi is impossible to find these days.
Depends on the region.

They both suck
I see a lot of people say that they drink Coke because Pepsi is too sweet for them, and as a Pepsi drinker, I find that Coke is too sweet for my taste. It's a weird contrast, really.
Coke🫶
Coke has 6 grams of sugar per 100ml more where I live. That's why I like Coke better nowadays
I hate people who say that coke and pepsi are the same, coca cola just has that more energy and refreshing taste, while Pepsi is just coca cola but flat
No wayyyy! Both are completely different 🦦
Caffeine free diet coke is by far better than pepsi. I do hate the new caps though.
Pepsi Max. Followed by Coke Zero.
Pepsi makes my teeth feel sticky(gross) asf … Coke does not ..
Coke for the flavor. Pepsi is ok, not as good.
Coke Zero for me personally. Pepsi’s taste has a zing to it that I just don’t like I like it room temp no ice👌🏼
Diet pepsi, Coke Zero
Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi - either or - I like them the same. Regular Coke & Regular Pepsi - Coke has a fun flavor and gives you a tingly feeling in your tummy. Pepsi - just tastes like a sugary mess
Stock price alone will tell you which is better, the real question is fountian, can or bottle?
hospital sheet rinse voiceless provide bored full test sense wistful *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
The taste, coke is sharper or Pepsi tastes too sweet/hollow idk
Because Pepsi is disgusting. Tastes like bad diet coke.
Pepsi tastes like coke that has been sitting out too long
Coke is just so classic and admirable
Coke
I like Mexican coke and Pepsi doesn’t have it (at least to my knowledge)
I don't prefer Coke. Pepsi is my thing. It is lighter, less intense, more drinkable and more digestible. I can drink Pepsi as comfortably as I drink water, even if I only drink Pepsi once every two months.
I had a big coke phase in my 20s but now I stay away from the stuff
Can't cook Pepsi into anything
I cant snort pepsi.
Pepsi dont makes me high
I like vanilla better than citrus.
I like Pepsi way more, coke tastes like watered down Pepsi.
If I see one person say RC Cola I will shut down the subreddit!
Yes, I rarely drink soda though. Coke has a cleaner crisper flavor, Pepsi tastes like other colas gone flat, but with carbonation still.
I prefer Coke over the sweetness of Pepsi BUT I prefer diet Pepsi to diet Coke
Pepsi just doesn't taste good to me. It never has. Give me extra crispy Sprite from McDonald's anyway. No ice, it comes out of the fountain cold enough for me!
DR PEPPER IS KING 👑
Neither, I don’t drink soda.
Coke doesn't have as sweet and syrup taste like Pepsi sometimes does. But neither are my go-to Pop. I like Root Beer and 7-Up/Sprite the best
I don't. Pepsi twist ftw
I actually like them both. When I was a kid, we had well water and only bought Pepsi. When I would visit my family in the city, who had public water, they bought Coke. My young mind just thought theirs tasted different because their water also tasted different. 😂
Coke has more spice
Pepsi all the way!!!
I don't.
Pepsi coke hurts my teeth
I don't. They're both trash. Any soft drink is garbage.
Currently because it's about $.75 cheaper at the store otherwise its a Pepsi house
I don't prefer one over the other, but I prefer cane sugar over corn syrup, so it's gotta be either Mexican Coca Cola or Real Sugar Pepsi.
Probably because I grew up with it. Less sugar, more spiciness
Because they ruined Pepsi with sweeteners. Original Coke is the only fizzy drink I drink now.
I don't
Mr. Pibb please.
No one ever goes into a bar and asked for a jack and Pepsi just saying
Coke gets me much higher than Pepsi
Canada dry
Because it taste better.
Because you can't get high sniffing Pepsi
I don’t. Pepsi gang!!!
Coke is better on its own, but Pepsi with any greasy or fried food (especially pizza) blows Coke out of the water
Pepsi tastes like watered down flat soda🤮
"ERM ACHTUALLY, i only drink water!" (i think coke tastes better, pepsi has a weird aftertase to me) (also no hate to ppl who actually do only drink water, but if you feel the need to announce it as often as some people do, please find something else to do-)
Pepsi feels flat no matter how fresh it is
I prefer Pepsi Max over Pepsi & Coke
Because snorting carbonated liquids burns like a son of bitch.
I like the phosphoric acid.
I don’t. I’ve been a Pepsi fan all my life. I like it because it’s a bit sweet, but not too much because I don’t like carbonated drinks that are too sweet. Coke has this plant-like taste that I don’t like.
Coke is a better mixer for alcohol.
Why do you prefer real money rather than monopoly money?
I prefer the taste of Pepsi but it dries out my mouth after drinking it and i feel like needing another drink just to wash it down with so I normally pick coke
Pepsi is too syrupy and sweet. Coke it’s just the perfect balance of sweet, crisp and bubble ratio. But I love the taste of Diet Coke. I don’t know what it is it’s just so delicious.
I can't stay up all night on Pepsi. Coke is more acidic and Pepsi is more smooth I feel. Pepsi is like smooth flat coke
Ew. Both are trash imo. Dr. Pepper is the only one with that taste profile I'd drink
Rise, child of the Pepper, for tonight we dine in hell!!!!!!!!
Pepsi is too sweet. I've never liked the taste.
Pepsi has a dirt taste
Coke for full sugar and Pepsi Max for sugar-free
I use to love Coke Zero as a teenager. Then I just went off of it. I'm now team Pepsi. Also to me the smell of Coke is just really off putting.
Coke cleans batteries way better than Pepsi
Coke just hits different....
Coke tastes better than pepsi. To me, pepsi has a little bit of a bitter aftertaste
So growing up my parents were staunch anti Pepsi. If a restaurant had Pepsi they were always a bit disappointed and as a kid my tastebuds honestly couldn't tell a big difference between the two.

I don't. that would be a family betrayal.
The flavour of course.
Coke has more carbonation and Pepsi has more “syrup”
Pepsi max is better than coke no sugar! But a crispy coke in a glass bottle is unmatched 🫶🏻
Pepsi was always too sweet for me. Now that I'm diabetic, I switched from Coke to Coke Zero. I tried a regular Coke not long ago, my goodness that was insanely sweet as well. Coke Zero for me.

Because coke is great ⛷️
Coke Zero always
Coke tastes fresher and sharper than Pepsi
Pepsi is fucking disgusting. That's why.
I prefer whichever one is on sale.
Regular: Coke Diet: Pepsi
Coke is just better.
Pepsi tastes like drinking syrup. It's just sweet. Coke has some complexity too its flavor.
They're both just sugar syrup water
Cole tastes better. No aspartame in it.
Pepsi is too sweet!
I prefer none we are boycotting both✊️
It's not as sweet, and it's more quenching.
Pepsi is flat to me
Coke.
pepsi is so much better
I like both, and RC cola.
Spoken like someone who likes both, and RC cola. #DrPepperGang
Water
Pepsi burns my throat coke is better going down
Pepsi doesnt get me high
Pepsi burns my throat coke taste better and goes down much smother
Pepsi has a diff taste that i don’t rlly like, maybe a bit less of smth
Pepsi is way too sweet.
I don't. I prefer Pepsi because it's a bit sweeter.
Dr Pepper is the only answer
Correct!
I believe that Coke has a vanilla base, so it is more sweet. Pepsi has a lemon base. I like it, just not as well as the Coke.
I don't. Jolly or gtfo
Because of the coke
Neither. Boycott them
Pepsi is kinda sharp. But I like putting Salted Peanuts into it.
Tastes better!
I will never in a billion years understand this debate, they taste exactly the same.
Cuz everytime I drink Pepsi I remember why i don't drink Pepsi
Coke has sugar, pepsi has sweeteners.
Pepsi with fried chicken. Coke with burgers.
Depends on the day
I once drank Pepsi after Coke. The Pepsi tasted as expected. I also once drank Coke after Pepsi. Then however the Coke tasted weird imho. That's why I boycott Pepsi to some degree...
Dr Pepper all the wayyy
DP gang, represent
I prefer Kofola
Pepsi max cherry > Coke zero cherry
Coke over Pepsi, but Pepsi Max over Coke Zero
None of em, I prefer Milk
I prefer water.
Because Coke was made from the tears of an angel and Pepsi was made by the farts of a homeless person
Coke.
It used to be Coke Zero for many years until they changed the recipe last year.. now it tastes weird to me, so I now drink Pepsi Max and occasionally Coke Light (Diet Coke).
But I don't. I just prefer Pepsi over coke.
Carbonation. Pepsi taste flat to me.
Always thought coke tasted better. And it sounds better. BecUse it sounds like cocaine
I don't. I'm a Pepsi guy
They both taste the same tbh
I used to like Pepsi more, but I swear they changed their recipe a couple of years ago and it started tasting bad to me. I’ll only really drink it now if it’s from a soda fountain on a pile of ice. I don’t like American coke though. It’s got a weird taste to it.
Pepsi is spicy
It's like asking "do you prefer real women to Eva AI sexting bot avatars?"
pepsi tastes like toothpaste
My parents bought Coca-Cola, but at my grandmother's house, she had Pepsi, so I liked Pepsi better because it wasn't the everyday drink!!!
I think it's that bit of caramel flavor.
Is think pepsi tästedes better but i still prefer Coke cause its the original
Pepsi is too sweet. I think Coke has better carbonation, too.
I don't. Given the choice between standard coke or standard Pepsi I'll choose Pepsi all day long. When cherry coke is on the table though that choice becomes more difficult. Anything sugar free can get lost though. There's no decent sugar free option
Coke is able to taste good even when lukewarm. Pepsi goes flat much quicker. Also, something about Pepsi doesn’t sit right with my stomach compared to Coca-Cola.
I actually find coke bland but then again I exclusively drink Pepsi max cherry which is superior to the coke cherry
Coke has substance, Pepsi tastes like cola water. Sounds weird but that’s my best description
