Coke or Pepsi?

[Corie]

Which do you prefer? Coke or Pepsi?

[Melaine]

Dr. Pepper.

Really, though I think I prefer Coke over Pepsi, but Diet Pepsi over Diet Coke.

[Indianamom2]

Coke, hands down....but alas, these days it's all caffeine free for me!

[wolverine2]

I hate Pepsi.

On a side note, there was a student named Pepsi at a school I worked at.

[happymom]

Pepsi, hands down! Coke is too fizzy for me. Pepsi tastes so much crisper.

[fedoragirl]

Pepsi is too sweet for me. LOVE the Coke.

[DietCokeLover]

I bet you can't guess how I voted.

[amldaley]

Nowadays, I rarely drink soda at all, but...

Coke. And in this order....

1) Properly prepared fountain Coke. If ratio is off, this drops to bottom of list.
2) Glass bottle - you can get them some places and for special occasions.
3) Can of Coke, but only if I can and am able to drink in one sitting.
3) Plastic screw cap bottle.
4) 2 ltr, poured over ice.

Caffeine free is an acceptable alternative (I used it while nursing). Diet Coke is never acceptable. Cherry Coke is a fun splurge, but I cut it with regular Coke to manage the sweetness.

[Cam&Clay]

Aw honey...as if Pepsi could ever top Coke.

[mackmama]

I'm not a huge soda drinker. If anything, I prefer Sprite. If I had to choose, I'd pick Diet Coke though because I find Pepsi too sweet.

[happymom]

Aw honey...as if Pepsi could ever top Coke.

:rotflmao:

[jess_g]

I guess I like them both.
Coke if its a fountain drink
Pepsi if its from a can or a 2 liter

Jessica.

[infomama]

I hate Pepsi.

:yeahthat:

[newg]

Coke...............diet coke or coke zero unless my blood sugar is low

[Clarity]

Wow. Coke is really in the lead. I won't touch the stuff. Ever since the 1980's Coke-Pepsi wars, I am an avowed Pepsi person. It's amazing what you latch onto at 12. :)

Oh, but my Pepsi must come from a can. I don't know why but Pepsi from the bottle is not as good.

[jiggaman]

Coke. I saw a chart once where it mapped out preferences and I remember it showing people from the South liked Pepsi better in general, not sure if that still holds.

The same chart had an explanation of what people call fountain drinks throughout the U.S. Some called it soda, some called it pop, one region called all drinks coke if I remember right and then they specified if it was sprite or something like that. I'll try to find the chart again.


This wasn't the chart I saw but it's the same data. The South seems to have a tendency to call all carbonated drinks "coke".

[Pear]

I love coke. I have to be really desperate for a caffeine fix to resort to Pepsi.

[Corie]

I love Pepsi. And a fountain Pepsi is even better!

[SnuggleBuggles]

If I had to choose it would be fountain Pepsi. But, I'm not too particular btw the 2. I only really like either in fountain drink form.

Beth

[AbbysMom]

I came from a Pepsi family and married into a Coke family. I've converted in regular soda to Coke but still prefer Diet Pepsi over Diet Coke.

[dcmom2b3]

No Coke, Pepsi.

[bubbaray]

DIET Coke. And ONLY Diet Coke. Not Pepsi of any sort, not regular Coke.

If I can find it, Diet Coke with Lime or Lemon. ;)

[goldenpig]

I don't drink soda very often. I've switched to sparkling water (we have a Sodastream at home). Saves a lot of calories. I hate the taste of diet soda so I won't touch the stuff. I can't drink caffeine either. So if I drink soda I like caffeine-free regular Coke. Mug root beer (Barq has caffeine) or ginger ale are other acceptable choices for me.

[amldaley]

I bet you can't guess how I voted.

Seriously? Could you be less obtuse? How vague an answer is this? I don't understand. Just answer the question. You're going to make us GUESS?????? Could you give us some sort of CLUE? How about a hint? Maybe a visual?????

Geez....you are so mysterious.

[amldaley]

BTW....Tootsie? A) now I need a Tootsie roll. and B) what movie was it where someone says "tootsie" but they pronounce it "TOOT-sie"...is it maybe a Robin Williams line? I can HEAR it but I can't quite remember where it is from and it is making me CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Reyadawnbringer]

Pepsi, but really, my fav is mug root beer. NOT Barqs, it has bite and I don't like my drinks to "bite" :p

[cono0507]

Diet pepsi! Specifically wild cherry diet pepsi.

[happymom]

Diet pepsi! Specifically wild cherry diet pepsi.

Mmmm, thats my favorite too!

[star04]

Coke over Pepsi, but Caffeine-free Pepsi over Caffeine-free Coke (for pregnancy/bf'ing). I don't do diets. I prefer fountain drinks, but at home it has to be in a plastic cup with ice. :)

[gordo]

Definitely Pepsi. And no diet!!! I wish I could drink diet to save the calories, but I can't stand the taste.

[Puddy73]

Coke, no question. Especially in a glass bottle or from McDonald's. The only people who drink Pepsi in Georgia are new Yankee transplants.

[jacksmomtobe]

Another Diet Pepsi over Diet coke...used to prefer coke over pepsi though.

[MamaMolly]

I'm a tootsie. I was born and grew up in Atlanta so I think my head will explode if I vote the way I really feel. ;)

[MamaMolly]

Coke, no question. Especially in a glass bottle or from McDonald's. The only people who drink Pepsi in Georgia are new Yankee transplants.

:ROTFLMAO: This is so, so, so, so true. Crying I'm laughing so hard!!!!

[Corie]

I'm a tootsie.


Tell me something I don't know, lady. :D

[Tondi G]

I voted neither cause I prefer sprite or rootbeer but if I had to choose between the 2 it would be COKE, I don't like Pepsi at all!

[AnnieW625]

I am not a huge soda drinker anymore. I voted Tootsie. I used to prefer Coke to Pepsi but then I got braces and I couldn't drink regular sugar soda for over 2 yrs. I then got used to Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi and preferred Diet Coke from a can, but Diet Pepsi from the soda fountain tastes better. I couldn't drink regular Coke again after braces. Right now if I have a soda at all it's usually an occaisional Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi at a work function, at home I will have a Pepsi Throwback. I do like Mexican Coke with regular sugar, but it's only sold in bottles here so Pepsi Throwback is a better deal.

I am also not sure if I should openly admit this, but I loved Crystal Pepsi back in high school. Dr. Pepper in the bottle is the best though, but very hard to find and it's made in really limited batches by the original bottler, not the current 7Up bottler.

Wow, I could have written this post word for word! DH and friends think I m crazy when explain the difference in the taste between the types!

[fumofu]

Used to like Coke a lot more than Pepsi. No longer a fan of either. When I do drink soda I prefer Mountain Dew. I get a craving for it every so often.

[crl]

I almost never drink soda because it makes my stomach hurt nowadays. But. . . .

:heartbeat:MEXICAN COKE:heartbeat:

Catherine

[blue]

I :heartbeat: Pepsi!

But, I will drink any "regular" pop before I would drink anything diet. Unfortunately I can't stand the taste of diet (It would be nice if I could drink it and save on some calories ;) ).

[mezzona]

coke. occasionally, cherry coke. what is mexican coke? and, where my parents are from, all colas are called coke!

[happymom]

OK, am I the only one who is shocked by the results of this poll? I seriously didn't realize that Coke was *that* much more popular than Pepsi. I was just telling DH about this, and he thinks that if the poll had separate choices for coke, diet coke, pepsi, and diet pepsi, that would make a big difference.

[Kitten007]

I am on the Coke side. I used to love Pepsi till it became way to sweet for me. BUT................when I want cans of soda at Target, I get what's on sale. :) So I guess I'm a flipper.

[jgenie]

We don't buy soda here but I have a hard time resisting Coke in a can cold from the fridge. My favorite is Barg's though. I don't like Pepsi.




This wasn't the chart I saw but it's the same data. The South seems to have a tendency to call all carbonated drinks "coke".

http://www.popvssoda.com/

The typical exchange is a variation of:
"Would you like a coke?"
"Yes, please."
"What kind - we have coke, diet coke, sprite and rootbeer." :D

[klwa]

I'm fine with either. (Although I agree with PP that Dr. Pepper is my favorite. :) ) DH really prefers Pepsi, so that's all we keep at the house (caffeine free version).

[Meatball Mommie]

Really, though I think I prefer Coke over Pepsi, but Diet Pepsi over Diet Coke.

:yeahthat:

But I honestly don't drink any of them anymore. 2 cups of coffee in the morning and water or seltzer any other time. I gave up soda a long time ago although I admit to having one every now and then (at McDonald's :bag or the movie theatre).

[weech]

Die hard Diet Pepsi fanatic.

After that, it's Sprite Zero, Cherry Coke Zero, Diet A&W Rootbeer and Diet Mountain Dew. Diet Coke is so far down the list it's not even funny.

[WolfpackMom]

I cant believe this is even a question ;) Im a Northern girl and love Coke! I have found that Pepsi seems more popular in the South than it is up North or out West.

[zag95]

Tend to prefer coke, but like 7 up as non decaf option....... but if I'm desperate for a pop, I will take what's available!

[lizzywednesday]

Neither; I don't like cola.

[momm]

I bet you can't guess how I voted.

:ROTFLMAO::ROTFLMAO::ROTFLMAO:

I hate carbonated drinks. Can't bear the feel of any kind of soda/ bubbles/ fizz on my tongue
Has saved me a lot of $$s, lol

[AnnieW625]

coke. occasionally, cherry coke. what is mexican coke? and, where my parents are from, all colas are called coke!

Mexican Coke is Coke that is made with regular all natural sugar vs. high fructose corn syrup, and it's still bottled in Mexico. It is sold in 10 or 12 oz. bottles I think, and when Costco carried it it was $20 for 36 bottles I think so not cheap, but nice for a party. Pretty much any drink tastes better from a glass bottle. You can also get Kosher Coke during Passover (reminds me I need to look and see if they have this near me again so we can have it at the girls' birthday party next weekend), which is also made with sugar, but not sure of the price.

[calv]

Pepsi. sweeter IMO. I've always loved it over coke

I hardly ever drink soda but when I do, and have a choice, pepsi wins.

[crl]

coke. occasionally, cherry coke. what is mexican coke? and, where my parents are from, all colas are called coke!

Mexican coke is made with real sugar instead of HFCS and it comes in a glass bottle. I can get it at a local market. It is soooo much better than regular coke.

Catherine

[wendibird22]

I much prefer Coke over Pepsi, but my go to is Dr. Pepper or Diet Dr. Pepper. And every once in a blue moon I get a craving for orange or grape crush.

[crayonblue]

Coke absolutely. Loved Dr. Pepper as a kid but really can't drink that now...too sweet. Pepsi, not so much.

[crayonblue]

Best Coke I ever had was in Guatemala. Not a huge coke drinker but DH ordered one at every meal and I took a few sips. Yummy!

[BabyH]

Coke, for sure.
But recently Target was out of Diet Coke w/ Lime AND diet cherry coke so I got Diet Cherry Pepsi.

[kboyle]

I prefer Pepsi, but dh loves RC and since I don't generally buy pop for the house unless we are having a party he's in charge of the pop purchases.

my parents like diet and if i'm to drink a diet pop I prefer Diet Coke to Diet Pepsi

[firemama]

I chose neither. I used to drink Diet Coke, but haven't had one since before I got pregnant. And I am surprised to say I don't miss it one bit. :D

[eh613c]

I'm not a huge soda fan but if I do have one, it's Dr. Pepper.

[ashleybama24]

Does anyone ever notice that really good coke taste a little like cinnamon? I love coke but can't drink it when I'm pregnant. Both pregnancies I have CRAVED Dr. Pepper!

[SpaceGal]

Pepsi only...Coke tastes too sugary.

[maestramommy]

Pepsi, hands down! Coke is too fizzy for me. Pepsi tastes so much crisper.
:yeahthat: esp. when I have to drink diet. Diet Pepsi is much better.

[JTsMom]

Catherine
Home Depot had it in their case the other day and I was so excited. :) I'm not a big soda drinker, but Mexican Coke is good stuff.

[sariana]

I voted Tootsie because "whichever is cheaper" was not an option.:)

[Nooknookmom]

Coke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have loved Classic Coke forever. I used to drink a 6 pak of reg. a day...now it's probably 3 Coke Zero's.

I also collect old/antique Coke *stuff*, although I'm getting tired of it. I started packing some of the collection away. I will probably never part with a few of the things but the rest may go via Ebay sometime!

[Nooknookmom]

Home Depot had it in their case the other day and I was so excited. :) I'm not a big soda drinker, but Mexican Coke is good stuff.

As a Coke fanatic, WHY can't they bottle the good 'ol stuff, in the glass bottles in the USA? Just drives me nuts!!!

I got my oldest daughter one of those a few years ago and since she has only had the HFCS kind she was like "Yuk!! What is IN this?", sigh!

[EllasMum]

I voted Coke, but really my first choice is Coke Zero. Never, ever, real Pepsi, though I will occasionally drink Diet Pepsi, if Pepsi products are the only option.

For those that were commenting on the Coke made with real sugar, you need to come to Canada - Coke here is made with sugar, too. :cheerleader1:

[veronica]

Coke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pepsi tastes like liquid sugar to me. Coke has a nice bite.

when it comes to diet, I can only stomach Diet Dr. Pepper.

My favorite is also fountain coke, but followed by the 20oz plastic bottle. Then comes can, then 2ltr over ice.

In the summer , we still go to DH's old arcade and get frozen cokes!
!

[jent]

Pepsi. My mom worked for PepsiCo when I was little. I remember they had free Pepsi in the vending machines. So that's all we drank growing up.

Coke just tastes wrong to me.

[Corie]

Coke just tastes wrong to me.

I agree! Coke has a funky taste.

[LMPC]

Diet Coke any day over Diet Pepsi. I don't drink the regular stuff that has HFCS but on occasion will get the retro versions with real sugar....DE-licious!

[billysmommy]

I'm a Coke girl. Fountain is my first choice, glass bottles second.

We do keep Pepsi in the house for my Dad and anyone else who prefers that

[Binkandabee]

Coke! It has a bite/fizz to it that Pepsi doesn't have. Pepsi tastes so sweet to me, although I will drink it if I want to have a soda and Coke isn't available.

[Neelloc]

pepsi!!!

[arivecchi]

I prefer Coke if it's the regular stuff, but much prefer Diet Pepsi over Diet Coke.

[marit]

Coke.

When I grew up in Israel there was no Pepsi, only Coke, because the company who makes Pepsi participated in the Arab Boycott of Israel:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boycotts_of_Israel

So:
A. My taste was set, and
B. I see no reason what so ever to even try to change it :wink2:
