3. Maybe, but Coke from a glass bottle tastes better than any cola.
I know, they say there's no difference chemically but anyone can tell you, there is a taste difference.

16. sorry, what?
opposite of? pepsi fired Ludacris as a spokesman.

russeL organized a boycott because of the firing (especiaLLy in Light of pepsi hiring the osbournes - just as fouL mouthed). pepsi negotiated with russeL to caLL off the boycott. russeL caLLed off the boycott after pepsi agreed to donate a few hundred grand to bLack based charities.

27. Pepsi was a long time Repub contributor
up through the Nixon years. That's why Pepsi got the green light to be introduced in Russia before Coke.

Coke was the Dem beverage for all that time.

12. I've switched to Red Bull - four cans a day keeps the doctors away.
At least it's cheaper than smoking rock.

31. Au Contraire, mon frere.
Pepsi is traditionally associated with the republican party; Nixon allowed himself to be photographed drinking it. Coke was always the democrats cola.

8. Coke and Pepsi don't taste the same.
Coke is much better. New Coke tasted like Pepsi.

15. Pepsi Still Uses Some Sugar
Coke uses corn sweetener - they made the change when they re-introduced Coke Classic after the "New Coke" fiasco. Many people (myself included) can taste the difference.

32. Go to a mexican food store, a place that caters to mexican immgrants.
They will have original recipe cane-sugar coke made in mexico. There is a world of difference, thats why the mexican shops take the trouble to import it.

22. I beg to differ
They both taste like "carbonated battery acid" (thank you, Berke Breathed), but there is a marked difference. At least to me.

24. I add rum to mine then I can't tell the difference......
fountain coke tastes the best with rum, that is the one where the syrup is mixed with seltzer. I did find some RC Cola last week and enjoyed the whole 2 liters with my rum. :beer:

25. Only in the sense that Guinness and Corona are the same thing.
That is to say, in the loosest conceptual sense.

Taste them, and you know there's a BIIIIIIIIIIG difference.

30. yeah! just like the Democrats and Republicans
cola made with cane sugar beats cola made with high fructose corn syrup or aspartame any day.

if you haven't had cane sugar cola then you're a tool
